Earlier quoted context omitted.

The registration description was inaccurate, you don't need to sign up for Stripe right away to look around the members area, thanks for pointing that out. Also, I agree with the free demo comment, I'll change the button to "Sign Up". The add to cart functionality on the sample menu should work, what browser are you using?

Firefox 35. I also see a bunch of errors in the console.

Should be fixed now. Thanks.

I'm spending some time creating a logo generator tool targeted at idea/early stage products and companies, or for side projects, open source projects, etc. It's called Logocaster - https://logocaster.com Logocaster is meant to help you explore a huge universe of logo designs when brainstorming your brand/logo. It makes it quite easy to scan a bunch of style/font/palette options and then "drill down" and see designs w…

Really nice! Would be cool if there was some sort of categorization of the styles, i.e. "serif", "sans serif" etc.

Thanks! Hit the blue "Refine Font/Color/Style" button the left :) (edit: wrong left, link)

CPAP.com Unlike 98% of the industry, we sell CPAP equipment for cash prices. This means that you, not the insurance company, are the respected and valued customer. The "cash CPAP" space means: 1. A market incentive to build people first instead of billing code first products. 2. A market comfort items that would never be produced in a billing code world. 3. A system where it pays to pick up the phone and know all abo…

Just did a quick price comparison of provents and masks compared to my local supplier here in Australia, and even with the high shipping cost the prices are comparable.

While I would still get the machine itself from the local supplier for the ongoing support and biannual assessment, this looks like it could be pretty good for the consumables. Good work!

Thanks for posting this- it's really neat. I'm not much of a designer (or developer for that matter!) I used one of your logos on a site that I put together with wordpress. It's my own little link aggregator. Instead of bookmarking something, I post it on my link site for future reference. http://geekymug.com (re-used domain name, not relevant to what it is) if you'd like to see your work on my site :)

Great, and thanks for the link back. I like the idea of a public personal bookmark site, especially if it serves to help you level up your design and dev skills.

Sequiturs: https://sequiturs.com Sequiturs is a platform for rigorous and civil discussion. Discussion revolves around arguments, which consist of a series of premises and conclusions. This argument format requires coherence, which improves the quality of the views asserted, and makes it easier to identify where one might disagree.

I think I've seen a few attempts at this before -- do you have some awareness of the previous ones and a comparison of how yours is similar or different?

The name is clever; as a Latin-speaker I keep wanting it to be "sequuntur".

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sequuntur

But I bet that would be a lot harder for non-Latin speakers to remember!

Wow, thanks everyone for signing up. I was planning on sending out a few invites by hand... Yeah, so now I'm in the middle of writing up a script. I'll send out the first batch of invitations here in a little.
