"A web-based SRS app." I am sure you can come up with a better description than this.

I know what Markdown is and yet this turned me off: "Ability to format posts with Markdown" If that's a differentiating factor from CL then you have ways to go. Sorry to be negativ…

Knuth's take: http://micromath.wordpress.com/2008/04/14/donald-knuth-calcu...

Ryan, that's great. I have been working on something similar for many of the same reasons you mentioned. Check this out: http:/www.pdfamigo.com I think you may find it interesting.…

In all seriousness, I think you should pick something other than a pig for your logo. I realize you are going for "piggy bank" but most people will think "H1N1." Or, perhaps it's j…

Just like the public library. Or Hacker News. Or... Sorry, but I find your argument fallacious.

No offense but the first thing I thought was: what a terrible site design; large clickable quadrants to move between sections, that resize. I've never seen anything quite like it. …

Hmmm, good question. I think my target audience may be a bit too broad (I hope!) to define... but I am sure there is a lot of companies that produce PDF forms all the time. So, in …

Your suggestion is spot on. Form distribution and data collection is part of the plan. This is one of the features I am thinking of charging for. The tricky part I believe is secur…

Most recently http://www.pdfamigo.com which lets you create PDF forms online. In fact I asked for and got feedback right here just yesterday.

Just an update: I have fixed this and your PDFs should work with Preview now. I had accidentally commented out a fairly crucial line of code residing very close to a not so crucial…

Thanks for the suggestion. Will do.

Thanks for the feedback. Great idea for streamlining the UI.

I tried to implement that using jquery but it proved to be tricky. Still, no excuse. It's on the todo list! Thank you.

Thanks a lot. That's very useful. I've mainly used Acrobat Reader to test the generated PDFs but they should really work everywhere.

Thank you patio11. That's a great tip (starting non-empty) - more so given that it's backed by actual data from your site. [I have edited the following paragraph a few times revisi…

Boryas thanks so much for the feedback. These are all really great points you are making. I am indeed working on adding UI features like the ones you mentioned. I just want to make…

Hello everyone, I would very much appreciate your always thoughtful feedback on my web app: http://www.pdfamigo.com Please use the invite code "hackernews" (sans quotes.) This is t…

A year is hardly enough time to gain perspective on grad school. Give yourself some time. Eventually you will find a research project that interests you. In the meantime I'd sugges…

As far as the development of ideas goes I agree with you. But what you state above is not what comes through in your blog post. But then again I am but one sample from your readers…

Thanks for your response. Sorry if I was sarcastic but honestly that's how it spontaneously came out and certainly it's nothing personal. My point regarding the $25K was that some …
