#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes these are proprietary ratings. This is typically the first question we get: how credible/accurate are these scores. Since this is HN I can dive into this a bit more than with a typical parent: -There are fundamentally two data sets in play here, a national one, NCES, that provides basic school information: name, # of students, demographics, etc. And a State data set. - Each state administers their own state asses…
Any thoughts on providing special scores for: - Special needs students. This could be a really active community for you. - Arts/Music/Theater programs and participation rates. - Innovative educational programs. One of the HS I attended had an on-campus fish hatchery that was almost entirely student run, it also had a professional choral program--as in, students in the "varsity chorus" got paid professional rates for…
I completely agree that standardized test scores aren't the only thing parents are looking for. The main issue is: What other data set is there that exists state/nationally given we're working with 100,000+ schools?
-Special needs: Hadn't considered this, but the data is there to break out numbers and performance of special needs students. Are there other factors we should consider?
- Arts/Music/Sports etc: Yes, would LOVE to include data on this. I'm not aware of a dataset that contains it. Manually it'd be tough to do for 100,000+ schools.
- Innovative/college programs: Yup, great idea. As we expand the site we want to find ways to highlight features like this. A simple example we can do now is Language Immersion programs. But we want to extend it in the future.
- Another "problem" with the education data in general is that there's no way to compare schools across states. Common Core might have addressed this but currently you can only say, This is a top high school in Massachusetts. What if I live across the border in New Hampshire? How do 2 schools compare?

#68Sealgram: https://sealgram.com
A set of email extensions that make it possible to run a PKI over SMTP, making email privacy easy to achieve.
And, besides the extra privacy, the PKI needed shared data and access control, what led me to create a DAV-like system, that lets you grant other people permission for querying your maildir (ok, not really a maildir, but very alike), and let you do stuff like let a group of people work on a document you hold on your email.

#70I plugged this before, but https://commencepayments.com, which basically acts as a server for a Stripe integration which is pretty neat for people who don't have access to their server-side code. Total Processed volume has exploded over the last couple months (Jan did 4x Dec, and Feb did 2x Jan, with March looking on track to beat Feb).
So with the new growth, looking to add a bunch of cool new features, like iOS / Android library, ACH support, and once Braintree opens the necessary API, Braintree support.
