    I'd hoped to make something for the "lazy developer." I use the service for counts that don't fit in to any of my apps models, because it's easy to create new counts (just change t…

    Accidental product success, followed by accidental PR success. Half of HN would kill for this kind of luck, and this poor guy doesn't want it... Which makes it even more interestin…
