For production apps, 2 dynos is the least you need not only because of sleep, but also because of redundancy. So there's no way of downgrading to the Hobby tier for lots of us. For…

Running 2 web dynos is the leanest recommended setting for production apps ( obvious reason... ). This means, in my case, a steep 45% increase for those small apps [from $34.50 to …

Every bit of technology provides benefits and threats. URL shorteners are no exception: they definitely add value (and I don't mean just from the sender's perspective, but also on …

goo.gl too, with nearly 6,300 links to Trojans, way more than on the bit.ly report: https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=goo.gl

Really interesting. I'd love to see it (and RelateIQ) integrate with a more complete sales solution, like close.io (which I love). PS - just saw that RelateIQ has an API and Persis…

Are 1,000+ models really necessary for a recipe sharing application?

Just a heads up, maybe you could rename twitter-hogan to something else. I'm getting ´ReferenceError: Hogan is not defined´ and a blank page because "twitter" is blocked on my corp…

I absolutely loved the humorous tone! I reckon some integration with social networks could be a good way for you to gain some leverage. People would be able to tag the friends they…

I cant thank you enough! It's great to talk to someone who had the same experience. Now The Next Web has also done a piece on us too and things are moving. You point to something t…

Thank you very much! I really think your first idea is amazing, and the homepage is presently too static and oh-so-boring...

Thanks! I'll try to figure out what this re-marketing thing is and check out the tools you've mentioned!

Thanks! I'm trying to give a boost to my quasi non-existent social efforts and I think this is helping! :) I have to let go of my wallet too and pay for some extra server power. I …

Thank you very much for such a kind offer! I'll definitely get back to you after I find out what re-marketing is... :-S

Yes, marketing is my achilles heel. Thanks for pointing this tool out. I'll definitely have a look.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide me with your insights! With all honesty, I don't have a business model. Aherk! was the project I used to learn how to program, an…

Oh, about the "subscriber" I was just referring to an HN member that added the Facebook app. Sorry, I'm a native Portuguese speaker and my English is not very good... :S

Exactly how I feel! Glad to see there are some mad people like me ;o)
