We're working on http://jokund.com , a very easy to use blog platform: you type your article in an email and just send it to my.blog.name@jokund.com, it creates your blog. No signup form, no password. You can customize 'my.blog.name' to whatever you want, and in your email you can use font sizes, bold, attach pictures... I also work on http://mailin.io , a node.js smtp server that listens for emails, parses them and…

Really cool product!

I submitted you to ProductHunt.

You should probably know: You just lost a sale/install because you only target one platform, a mobile one even.

Yeah reality is we only have enough dev resources to pick one. iOS is a good platform to start on because if things go well there then there's a chance it will do well elsewhere and on the flip side if doesn't go well then it's probably not worth investing in an android, windows mobile ver etc. What platform would have been your pref ?

It's unfortunate, definitely. I would have liked a desktop/web "client", if you will. But android/windows, definitely.

Look forward to trying this on a platform I have.

I am working on popularizing Apache Solr search engine: http://www.solr-start.com/ . It's a couple of books, a website, a mailing list and a bunch of connected Open Source projects, all having the focus on making it easier for people to learn Solr. The fun part is that doing this for/by myself, I can scratch any itch I want, as long as it's around the core theme. The extra interesting - and challenging - part is to e…

This looks like a great idea! Some feedback: for a site named 'solr start', I was hoping the first thing I see would be something named 'start here' which explains what solr is, what to use it for, how to get started, etc. Instead, the 1st thing is something arcane called 'UpdateRequestProcessors'!

Thanks for the feedback. Currently, I am targeting people who already know what Solr is (otherwise they would not find the site).

But that does not mean that the first page could not do an introduction with some pointers. I'll add that to the todo list.

Good stuff. I might need to work with you to get mine working!

Nah, bro. Unless you want help on how to lose money on the market and also give more commission to your broker. If you're in the right area, they have Algo Trading meetup's or regular trading meetup's where some peeps maybe do algo-trading. e.g., You may find this helpful for what you're trying to do for equity trading, http://blog.quantopian.com/gary-chan-on-pairs-trading-presen... http://www.godotfinance.com/workin…

This is great! thanks

I am working on a side project - http://www.kopyscreen.com/ started this to learn Go lang, but with the interests shown by some of my friends, slowly building it into a website during the weekends. I am hoping to complete it soon.

How is this different than copy and pasting to Paint. What different does this do?

To be honest, I started working on this and then trying to find a best fit for the tool :)

my current plan is to build KopyScreen into a light-weight-paint-like online tool for use-cases like Bug Reporting, UI Review, etc.

I haven't been a fan of most music blogs out there, so I started one alone with a different focus and combined my passion for music with coding to help us stand out. Now, my team has grown to 34 people and we're building our own platform to help people discover all kinds of music. http://radcircle.com New completely custom platform built from scratch in it's Alpha stages, using Ruby, Rails and possibly SailsJS. Would…

I'm a music journalist so I read a LOT of music blogs, constantly. I'd like to get behind this idea but I can't really differentiate Radcircle from others given the current offering. What's your methodology for songs that make the front page (& email list) - are they just users submissions, sorted chronologically? Are they vetted by other blogs, e.g. Hype Machine? I read your about page looking for this but it was a bit fluffy and didn't give any info about how Radcircle works.

I'm always excited about new music projects so I'll be watching you guys. Just subscribed!

I'm working on a small webapp for music discovery. My friends and I share a lot of music, but it's hard to find a good point to start listening. So I made www.goodnot.es. It queues up the best 5 songs of any artist and plays them for you. It's been super fun to work on and I use it regularly.

I'm working on PhoneCard, a service to make cheap international phone calls without requiring a data connection. You enter the phone number in the webapp and it calls you. Next time you're using poor hotel wifi or you're frustrated with skype (e.g. multiple disconnects per hour), try PhoneCard for a high-quality call. PhoneCard can call most places in the world, and in some countries you can also purchase incoming nu…

I missed the call to confirm my number. I don't see an option to retry the call. What do I do?
