Ah, I see now.

My two cents:

1) It should attempt to detect location and display that to the user.

2) You can save locations but, these are lost on refresh.

3) No way to specify Celsius.

4) It's not a very simple service. I should be able to bookmark this and click on the link to view the weather. Instead, I need to type a location every time. Right now, I just have a bookmark to "https://www.google.com/search?q=weather".

Thanks for the honest and direct feedback. I agree that these would be good features to add. I'll keep them in mind as I continue work on the project.

We do it via a one-line javascript snippet.

eg: <script src="//example.com/blah/widget.js?id=xxxxxx"></script>

widget.js is a server side script that creates the widget and echo's it out. Many ways of doing this and the easiest is a bunch of document.write()'s for the html

Cap Tables aren't usually private. I don't recommend advertising it on your website but, certainly, any new investors will need/want to see it before committing.

In my opinion, a Soft Developer is one who mainly just writes code. Whereas, a Soft Engineer is somebody who looks after the project end-to-end (requirements gathering, coming up with a solution and then coding it)

I would call those "programmer" and "developer" respectively, but to each his own.

Wouldn't this mean setting up a VPN on the phone and having all traffic routed through mobileadblock.com's servers?

In this day and age of NSA, privacy and spying - not sure too many users will be up for that.

In long term for normal users, when they use public WIFI for example, its safer because they have to trust one party instead of all users of public WIFI. If people are willing to use Google Chrome bandwidth savers, this could work. But you are right, all traffic is routed through mobileadblock servers.

Why?

According to the video, it is for "trolling NSA".

I am unsure if any such pre-built solutions exist but, we have created something similar for our app.

A user can setup an unlimited number of different API Keys for their account. For each API Key, we allow them to specify:

- Name/Description: For internal reference

- High Level Permissions:

Admin: (access to make any account updates).

Read-Only: (provide read-only access to the data).

Write Only: (allows for read & write operations).

- Low Level Permissions:

Access to various end-points that can be turned on/off.

- Throttling Options

Allow the user to specify Max Read Requests p/second and max write requests p/second

Very nice, thanks @amarcus - do you have any public-facing documentation I could review?

If HN isn't your target demographic, the answers here are going to be really skewed. Social signup is very much preferred (we have a number of iOS & Android apps targeting consumers) and social login makes up around 82%.

82% is really a astonishing number, i think now a days people don't want to fill up long sign up forms ( who has time for it ) that's why they prefer social sign up ....

Suggestion: Get rid of the Hacker News reference in your header.

I think that most people who don't know about HN will run away when they see "Hacker" in the title. You are limiting your audience. If you must, it might be best to use Reddit instead. Or maybe rotate between the names of different websites that are similar.

Honestly, I would recommend focusing more on "Community" rather than the "We are the X for Y"

Suggestion noted, but please understand that we've done (and still are doing) our fair bit of experiments on what works for whom.

For example, when we want to tell HN users of Postatic, the most effective way we found was to tell them that they can create their own HN site.

I guess for Reddit users, it would be better to target it as "create your own Reddit".

"Community" is good, but there are a plenty of sites that use that word and we also need to stand our.

So right now, we're displaying what's been working the best according to the data - surely it'll evolve.

Maybe check for the referrer, then if it matches a list of known communities, HackerNews, Reddit, Facebook, etc. have it automatically change to "Create Your Own <REFERRER>", otherwise just use community?
