Hey HN, I built ChartKit, a lightweight React charting library for dashboards. - 14 chart components (lines, bars, donuts, candlesticks, heatmaps, etc.) - 17 curated themes (dark +…

That was an invite. I'm not sure I understand your question. We put the sites in "circles" and advertisers buy a specific circle.

I believe most businesses have to naturally change and adapt as time goes on. 10 years is a long time, and I expect our model will have to continue to evolve and change to make it …

More likely your ad blocker. No alerts, seems fine over here and here: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/carbonads.net .

Carbon Ads has pretty solid CTR, ads perform, advertisers renew, etc. It's not all doom and gloom for online advertising when you respect users and work hard to combine quality adv…

You should join us at Carbon :)

We're very much alive! Thriving, even. And yes, we merged AdPacks, Yoggrt, Fusion, and Carbon into just Carbon. Been growing the network ~20-30% or so year over year. The simplicit…

Sounds like a scientific experiment with no bias. Awesome.

I'd argue that the free market is working. Ad blockers are giving consumers a vote and empowering them to force the system to work better for them. On the web, ads do make the worl…

It's fair to be skeptical about anything anyone in ad tech says. However, there's no intent hidden in the idea of "integration" in the article that is suggesting that it's because …

That is a fabulous deal. Whomever handled that negotiation/purchase deserves some donuts.

Thanks for recommending BSA!

Is there some place to get it cheaper? Just for rule of thumb checking AWS (with their new pricing) it would cost ~$72/year for the 200GB storage alone, without factoring in any co…

Backed, if for no other reason than to support something I've used on countless projects for years. It will be interesting to see the new weights/styles, and better scaling of Blac…

I started BuySellAds ( http://buysellads.com ) while employed full-time at HubSpot ( http://hubspot.com ). A few years after leaving, my company ended up on the Inc 500 ( http://ww…

You're right - we have some non-ssl'd pages that you're allowed to login from - something we've gotta fix.

Indeed, there are many folks doing this very successfully. It's certainly not for everyone though, and does require a bit of work. We actually work with a bunch of folks who are do…

Through our marketplace we don't track any personal or sensitive info about users, or use it to figure out which ads to display. The most sensitive info we use to show ads would be…

We've had some folks request to be paid out in Bitcoin. We're open to doing this once we have a handful more (or so) ask for it... the tricky thing is that you then have to play th…

Very cool - always great to hear about people doing well with our Unreserved program! Thank you for sharing with the HN crowd.

For the sanctity of the business world we live in I sure as heck hope it's not true.
