Really like the Alexa skill thing, make me want dig into it. An Amazon echo for only 100 downloads seems easy to reach.

Yep, it's a win-win! :smile:

Serious question: are you typing out colon-smile-colon yourself every time, or does HN convert emojis to text automatically?

I've now been accustomed to typing out emojis like this, as it's faster for me.

90% of startups will eagerly give you a free tshirt just for asking. They love the free marketing. No need to do stuff like submit builds, etc. I have gotten free stuff from: - IFTTT (socks) - MixPanel - CloudFlare - Elastic - infochimp - pingdom - moz - rethinkdb

How do you contact these places?

I like swag with blinking lights. A buddy and I used to go to the big embedded systems conference in San Jose and compete to see who could score the most development kits. You'd have to chat with the reps a bit to show that you knew how to use their gear before they coughed up anything good. We'd walk out with a thousand dollars of free gear on a good year. How loose the reps were depended a lot on the economy that year. It was a lot of fun.
