Looks like the code for the site is also open source: http://www.openuru.org/pages/Development.php

This reads like yet another autocratic, micro-managing HR document. "Have a room with a door that shuts." Seriously? How about this: hire smart people you trust, give them whatever…

Send me an email: ryan -at- pushlayer.com and I'll set you up. Thanks!

Recently, we launched a new service for iOS developers to make sending push notifications easier, and we're looking for people who'd like to try it out and help us out with feedbac…

Definitely. From a technical standpoint, it's Rails app on Heroku (using unicorn), using Sidekiq. I've got a ton of background with Rails and scaling on this platform, though not a…

Cool! We're going to be putting in coupon codes in a day or two. I'd be happy to give you an extended discount if you'd like to give us feedback on the service. Shoot us an email (…

That's great advice, and perhaps that's really the answer. Based on what I've been directly observing, most of the "marketing" that I do is pretty mechanical: A/B testing, posting …

Cool, and that's been our overarching strategy. What I'm concerned about is that, as we work through the backlog of features, we also want to grow the users simultaneously. This wi…

This is great feedback. The $25/m gets you 2500 notifications prepaid, but it's a use-it-or-lose-it kind of thing. I'll definitely clarify that. Thanks!

It's an API you use to send push notifications to iOS devices that have your app installed. More specifically: it (a) makes debugging missing notifications easier, as it often feel…

We're a small team of two programmers, and we've just launched our MVP (www.pushlayer.com, if you're interested). It's a service geared towards iOS developers, and we're looking fo…

I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a stable installation of EB for a Rails 3.2 app using RDS and just couldn't get it to a state where I'd ever deploy it as production. H…

Thanks for the feedback. Since we target iOS developers, do you think it would be too soon to start charging once they've released their app to the App Store (but leave the service…

I've launched an MVP of a service that's targeted at iOS developers (www.pushlayer.com, if you'd like to check it out). I'd next like to experiment with the signup process to make …

I created a Programming Music playlist and started out with very mellow, non-lyrical music from Tycho. From there, I kept following the Related Artists feature (I'm using rdio) and…

The service is our attempt at making sending push notifications to iOS devices easier. The biggest complaint I've always had as an iOS developer is debugging notifications that don…

So, what would a "small, sharp" monitoring tool look like that's compelling to customers? Just an agent, and the customer supplies their own notification and trend-reporting servic…

Wondering what the HN community thought of a startup I'm working on. Tentatively I'm calling it DesignFiles.io, and it's a combination desktop and web app that lets designers check…

Exactly. I imagine this breaks down when you have a designer that prefers to work starting at 3pm, and a developer who's in at 7am. Do you allow the deadline to slip, or ask the de…
