Flynn [1] is worth a look (having come from dokku). Heroku-like and runs as a cluster. [1]: https://flynn.io

Yeah, that'd be expected (release of IP etc) however, if you're doing this out of a sense of duty to your ex-colleagues, and the business / management have shown a lack of respect …

Be careful if you decide to do this. If you help out & don't have a consulting agreement / contract in place + the correct insurance, etc... then you may find yourself on the hook …

Been in this exact situation myself a couple of times - one instance that has stuck with me was when >300 sites crashed within around 5 minutes of each other due to a time-sensitiv…

Indeed - will be interesting to see how this pans out, especially as Google already supplies the iOS mapping application backend.

I know they have to find candidates somewhere, but using a mailshot template to feign actual interest in a person is incredibly insulting.

Again, could you trim the number from the title of this post and have a glance at the guidelines, please?

Could you trim the number from the beginning of the title - the HN guidelines specifically guard against this sort of title: > If the original title begins with a number or number …

Interesting stuff, but can you clip the number from the title, please?

How about a link to dismiss the about box? Once I've seen it, it just takes up space. Excellent to see you iterating so quickly - are you split testing any of your design elements?…

Thanks for the kind words - I think you may have saved the site.

I find climbing requires absolute concentration - it fills your consciousness to the point that you can only really think about the problem or route you're currently working, which…

Cool beans, cystan! I'll get those posts up now :D Thanks for the feedback - I have a new design in the works, so I'll see if I can work in your suggestions.

I wasn't looking to threadjack here, but thanks for the feedback :) I'll have a think about that - the app did originally just get climbs in your locality from the web service, but…

I second your experience in getting traction for outdoor sports apps/sites. My own site, Bouldr, has had a bit of traction, but nothing significant, and monetizing seems to be a re…

I have one of these (they're actually pretty good) it reorients so it always faces the wind and the shape gives you more coverage over your back when it's not too windy. Also, it l…

Relative to what? Would it be OK if it were 15 things or 10? What about 5? These sort of headlines have specific rules in the guidelines - I'm surprised it hasn't been changed alre…

Say you've got a new version of your app coming out, but before you release you want to run a beta test to make sure there are no last minute bugs or usability problems. What tools…

OK, so I get that a patent allows an inventor to protect their invention from exploitation, but I don't understand why a patent is transferrable - surely the idea is to allow an in…

You going to be split-testing?
