Received your cold LinkedIn message... founder to founder, spending time on building a better product is always going to yield better results than scraping your competitor's launch…

We have a pretty complex onboarding process (bug bounty programs for startups), really excited to give this a try.

How does this compare to other badge services like Shields.io?

Appreciate the kind words! Reaching out now -- would love to get you into our beta and work from any of your feedback. Finsight seems like a perfect use case and we're excited to d…

Hey Jacob, thanks for the kind words, and taking the time to leave a comment. I'd love to meet up, pinging you now!

Just a quick preface: we started building Federacy a little over two months ago as part of this batch of YC companies. We’re a team of two FTE. Many or all of our assumptions could…

What do you think caused being selective not to scale at other platforms? What do you think we can do to keep the quality of our researchers extremely high? What we’ve heard in tal…

To be completely forthright, we don’t know. Have you used Synack or Cobalt? Would love to hear your experience. We haven’t heard much about Cobalt, but there are some sharp people …

Yeah, that definitely makes sense, and I agree. At the core, Federacy is a marketplace, and the surest way for us to constrain the transactions will be to make it difficult for sta…

We've tossed around ideas like this -- including something similar to how Numerai uses staking for their data science competitions. The security researcher would stake a small amou…

Your experience is exactly why we're building Federacy. Bug bounties can be an incredibly efficient way to work with outside security researchers to find vulnerabilities, test for …

Congrats on the launch guys. What types of customers are you seeing most benefit from working with JITX versus other contractors?

Really love this concept, awesome job guys. Do you think marketing and growth teams will use to surface ideas for copy and layout changes? I could definitely see a future feature t…

Check out NS1.

We've thought about doing made-to-order tees before, but at the end of the day, since we sew in Los Angeles, they'd end up being like $75 each for a custom pattern. There are some …

I own an online apparel company that I launched on HN three years ago, but before this, I built tech companies, so maybe I can weigh in with what I've found (and have been really s…

This will be especially helpful if I want a certain outcome (tweak weightings, recompile, rinse, repeat).. :)

Is there a weighting to how points are assigned? Can this be adjusted? It'd be cool if I could say that the #1 votes get 2X the points as the #2 votes.

I've had the same problem before. Store shopping as well. Sometimes I'll try on two colors of the same shirt and they'll fit much differently. The fix to this though is just to fin…

Damn, this author did a way better job than I did too.

skipping ... ? http://reallifemaggie.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/skipping.g... I'm of the mind that 95% of being in shape is in the kitchen - and a lot of the same principles apply…

The best hack is being able to just re-order when things start to look a bit shabby. Set it and forget it.

Haha, very true. I think that'll be the next blog - MED/tl;dr on being in shape - especially when you're time-constrained / building a company.

I think the inspiration side of it is huge - seeing how a look wears on someone else is completely different than seeing something hanging or on a mannequin. Which online retailers…
