    Correct. Simple frameworks that you then add more complex components to are better. Same for OS'. Yes, correct on the second part also.

    Can you explain to me how unsexy problems like browser incompatibilities (yes a major pain) lie anywhere within the scope of webpy? Those seem to lie within the scope of the templa…

    Yes, I understand your concern. For sure, aaron was on drugs when he mentioned this quick, non-secure fix -- even though the asker most definitely had very loose security requireme…

    Exactly. Webpy is for programmers, django for people who want to feel like programmers, but are really just walling themselves into pre-defined ultra-boring patterns.

    That security gaffe was in Markdown - a piece of junk that I've been pointing out flaws in for the past year.

    When you have this many people on your app, this will always be true. 90% of people in general are not net savvy.

    No and Yes. I am thinking of releasing tons of code for it though as soon as I wrap up the large project I'm working on. I highly recommend webpy. edit: downvote?

    Hey thanks! Do they cover all subdomains also though?

    How about you give us an example of one? If you are wondering about the volume of planning we do, there's no question that I've thought about marketing for a huge amount of time.

    You do realize that this would be the death of so many startups, right? They're already demonstrating that they would rather lift ideas from other companies than buy anyone. I don'…

    Was thinking of doing something very similar a while ago. Good luck.

    This is why I hope that all of facebook's new apps fail. They have a large enough userbase already to crush anything new.

    I have always been amazed at how few people end up creating a new product where there is a need. What must it be, 1 in 100,000?

    K, I was just confused about the story. I think I even recall the POF guy saying that SEO is totally useless for dating sites. Who knows.

    What I hate is that firefox/IE complain if you don't get one of these paid SSL certificates. The encryption of HTTP traffic should be free and without unneeded burden.
