It's definitely not as cool as most of the stuff here, but it's real easy to work with, that's why I'm hoping it will be helpful for people with no technical skills and small businesses.

#592It's cool I've used it to start learning AngularJS. It's also cool because my daughter enjoys clicking the little ghost.

#593This is the best thread I've read on HN in months. We should do this regularly.

#594SilverAir - An athletic shirt that doesn't smell and designed to be worn at the gym and for everyday wear. demo@ http://www.yathletics.com It's cool because: It's made using pure silver which kills the odor-causing bacteria in your sweat, so you can -wear this shirt for your entire day and feel fresh, -reuse the shirt more often (i do). The fabric is completely new and something I made with my manufacturers from scra…
This sounds good, there should be more shirts like this around. I'm curious if you are aware of Silverescent fabric, which is much the same idea, and if your have made additional unique improvements?
The improvements we have made are in the feel, finish, and performance areas. You'll find a slightly higher percentage of silver in our fabric, it is lighter in weight, and the feel of the fabric is improved.
If you like Silverescent, you'll love what we're making.

#595Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks so much! The validation means a lot. How much? $54 Retail, but when we open on kickstarter next week, we want this to reach as many people as possible and are going to give it out at (almost) cost: 1 shirt for $34. 2 shirts for $64. 3 shirts for $90. US shipping included. International shipping: Add $20. Happy to answer any other questions you have.
Why so much for international Shipping? Seems a lot to me for such a little package
Since domestic shipping is included in the shirt pricing, we've subsidized the international shipping by $5 to be fair to all customers.

#596Sett ( http://sett.com ) It's a new blogging platform that helps people build audiences. Our oldest users (1 year) have seen roughly 100% increase in daily traffic, twice as many comments, etc. My personal blog has doubled daily visitors and growth rate for subscribers went from 1% to 10%.
Or is sett intended to compete with (hosted) Wordpress directly?

Can I just use sett to syndicate my Wordpress blog posts, the way I'm currently doing with DZone, JCG (as an affiliate) or StumbleUpon, GetPrismatic, Tech.Pro (manually)? Or is sett intended to compete with (hosted) Wordpress directly?

#599But since I'd love to chat about it:
Simple little tool to let "unknown" but talented bloggers work together to publicize their offerings.
Why's it cool?
- aim to is help counteract the "Justin Beiber Affect" (gets 100,000 RTs for saying, "Live life!")
- try to encourage a more personal, hands-on sharing rather than today's mindless "click to retweet" approach to life.
- you can't earn any badges or rep points
That's it... best go finish it :-) It's at @tweetstartme if you are interesting in knowing when it's done

#600I'm working on http://algorithmic.ly -- algorithms as a service. It's cool because I get to help startups who don't always have the resources to hire someone like me who specialized in implementing and scaling certain kinds of algorithmic features. These startups need help with everything from geospatial search up to anomaly detection and predictive analytics. It's bootstrapped, so while I'd love it if it was a publi…
