Thank you, I get the sense that you're not trying to be overly negative. But I'm also slightly confused. If you can't gain credibility with valid arguments and research, how else c…

> This is kinda funny to me because I know it's untrue. The product I work on in my day job is based on JMVC 3.2 and we can't upgrade to 3.3 because of the size of our app and the …

Yes, and I think we do a decent job of highlighting why. Backbone/Knockout may be well maintained but their scope is fixed. CanJS has gone from the times of $.widget() to while mai…

I don't think FB is a fair comparison. They are a mature company that operates at incredible scale. Addendum: The intended audience for this article will not share these same prope…

It's fair to have compromised your expectations of frameworks - since there aren't many that have been around for long - but Bitovi and its clients have not. Our libraries are both…

I had attempted to bring a product like this to life a while back: http://gigyard.com/ Maybe I should re-visit it.

I played around with something like this once: http://akagomez.com/demo/packaging-lazy-dependencies/ The goal was to illustrate how unique dependencies could be packaged separately…

I haven't used this yet, but it seems like it should make updating mappings much easier. See the "using aliases for greater flexibility" section in this article: http://www.elastic…

TaskRabbit seems to focus more on simple errands that anybody can do and handles the details for you. They describe it as "Your to-do's, done". GigYard focuses on helping people de…

Except then I wouldn't like the name as much.

My instinct tried to steer me away from doing that, but my urgency to get something out there overcame it. I had anxiety about every damn word I wrote so I ended up settling with c…

Maybe you're right. I could had titled it.. "Show HN: GigYard - My first landing page".

Thanks! I sourced them from Flickr. You can filter your search to only include photos that are licensed for modifying, adapting, and building upon.

I'm so glad to have this feedback. Identifying my audience and avoiding feature speak where two things I tried to give consideration to while writing the copy. Still, I couldn't wo…

Yikes! Thanks for pointing that out. I'd rather not get distracted by potential issues like that for now. If GigYard gets enough users to upset Fiverr over a potential registered s…

It seems the service I used for those "share" links is conflicting with my CSS (www.addthis.com). Can't fix it right now, but at least I know where the problem is. Thanks for point…

I'm thinking that sharing it with existing communities that already engage in this way will be the easiest sell. My first target is my neighborhoods Facebook page that has somethin…

This seems unique to your device. Mind sharing the specs? Here's what it's supposed to look like: http://imgur.com/RgoXZuO

You're absolutely right. I made the rookie mistake early on of focusing entirely on the app before getting any market feedback. The copyright issue you pointed out is evidence of t…

Zaarly is new to me, but yes it seems similar. Probably the biggest difference between the two is that GigYard's service providers are individual people, not businesses.

Good morning HN! This is the first of my side projects to make it into public view. Let me know what you think.
