Our hosted load testing service which uses real browsers, driven by javascript, ruby or java code the same way you'd write your usual selenium/webdriver tests. It is awesome because it will make load test script creation/maintenance just like anything else. It will also be the first "opinionated" load testing tool. beta access signup here: http://signup.browserup.com

Interested to see how it pans out. Just signed up.

Thanks!

eatsimply.io - nutrition and meal planning app, hope to launch a prototype in a month or two, similar to the idea behind eatthismuch.com.

This idea just popped into my head last night. I'd love to give it a spin when you're ready.

Menucamp - Online ordering for restaurants ( https://menucamp.com ) Restaurants pay way too much for bad online ordering systems. Menucamp is a simple, inexpensive system that gets the job done.

I hope you keep working on this, simply because I hate how stuff like this is considered acceptable for menus: http://metrodiningdelivery.com/

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You know what's even more annoying? Someone with a public website who breaks links in such an overtly antagonistic way. I've seen other people do this by simply having a text message that kindly asks people not to link to them. Anyway, it seems to be a static website, and it should be able handle HN traffic for a fairly small amount of effort and/or money.

I mean a static website can't put up cloudflare? It would rather redirect to a picture of balls?

The fact that people get so annoyed by it in such an entitled manner is what makes it most amusing.

And it is most amusing.

I think I had the same idea a while back but didn't execute on it. Good luck!

EdScore - A school ratings website for parents. https://edscore.org/

GreatSchools has a monopoly in this space but their 1-10 ratings scale is opaque and their website hard to navigate. EdScore has a more granular 50-100 rating scale, modern search, better mapping, and soon will feature search filters by distance and home price so parents can evaluate, say, top schools within a 1hr commute of SF with a median home price under $1m.

effe - an open source implementation of AWS Lambda

http://github.com/siscia/effe

It is awesome because it gives,you more power than AWS Lambda and because you have a sane way to manage it via effe-tool (http://github.com/siscia/effe-tool), also it is written in go which should make it faster than competitor...

I think it's a good idea. One thing I worked on in the past was being able to link school scores for my residential real estate startup. However, there's always been the question of "How credible are these scores" - are you guys doing the rating yourselves?
