I went down a similar road in 2013 and contacted heroku via a support ticket. They said they "do not offer up [their] certs for verification" and wouldn't answer any other question…

What part of the battle couldn't you solve? Doesn't the author's setting of the resolver directive work for you, or is there something I'm missing? Also, the author doesn't mention…

Another one - "prefect" should be "perfect".

Rails works quite nicely as a REST backend. Its also much faster in my experience to render json than HTML templates. Rails is great as a general starting point, letting you choose…

I wrote an app that has some GV-like functionality built on Twilio: https://www.getphonecard.net

I've combined Postgres views and set returning functions in rails and had a lot of success with good performance and good maintainability, too. No custom SQL required in the applic…

I'm a little scared that this builds SQL statements directly. Did you consider at least using prepared statements? Was there such an awful performance hit using ActiveRecord, or so…

I wish I could add some comments while submitting the speed test. The wifi in my hotel is free, but the speed I'm receiving is only obtainable by using a code provided by the front…

Please email me your number at support@getphonecard.net and I'll manually fix it.

PhoneCard probably didn't like your destination number (either invalid or deemed too much for the test call). If you (or anyone else) would like to give the real thing a spin in ex…

Well, number purchases do work when you top up with credit first! :) The problem amounts to the app realizing you don't have any credit but not showing an error message. This is th…

PhoneCard is entirely powered by Twilio.

Actually it looks fairly similar! PhoneCard has multi-ring on incoming calls which I don't see there, but I didn't investigate deeply. How is the call quality?

Oh, and SMS is quite a bit more limited at this time. You wouldn't be able to send SMS from Serbia to another country, or SMS within Serbia, but you could purchase a number in a de…

Awesome! I agree that I need to improve the cost discoverability. The problem is the matrix of rates is huge. In some countries, costs are different per mobile provider, and landli…

I just saw your call in the logs! It will work in Serbia, but I need to do some additional work on the backend to enable certain countries that are typically high cost to call. I h…

Thank you for pointing me to this! To date I had not seen anything similar. Perhaps the biggest differentiator is that PhoneCard works in the opposite direction, too. For example, …

Glad you like it! The service came out my own experiences trying communicate with friends or family across international boundaries. Skype and others are fine when they work, but w…

I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next tim…

No revenue on my current side project, but haven't yet shared it beyond friends.

Beyond Snowden, what is this "trend of whistleblowers"? Why haven't we seen others come out in similar ways? Or have I missed something?

I'm hoping that Space Monkey ( http://www.spacemonkey.com/ ) helps solve some of this. It backups up to a local appliance-style box, then syncs with other space monkey boxes in a p…

> you can get the data in the shape you want, not in the shape it's stored. If you build a database view, you can often trick an ORM into thinking its a table.

Link to your stripe testing gem?

So that someone between you and http://get.docker.io doesn't decide to replace the script with their own special version that runs as root on your box.
