Httrack does this.
Yep, they do. However not as a service. With Httrack, I'd need to download their software first, and then run it whenever the site's been updated. I'd like a online service that handles it all for me.

#132Business model should probably be subscription (who wants spot ads thrown into the middle of their movies?) or something simple like $1 per commentary. The service should seek out talent to create the commentary tracks and pay them for their work.

#133Clients see a list of user stories or other deliverables and can discuss, and file issues and bugs against them. Developers can track their own bugs, finer-grained tasks and issues privately. These two sides of the software are linked for the developer, i.e. as a developer I can add detail and break down a client request into smaller stories without exposing the client to the gritty details, and keep track of which client request(s) different issues and stories are related to. Also useful for filing issues the client doesn't need to know about, say, bugs I find before they do :)
The problem this solves is that I have to maintain two issue trackers, one focused on user stories and features (usually a google spreadsheet), and another for more technical tasks and bugs (usually pivotal tracker). I want to keep it all in one place. I would be surprised if this doesn't already exist, but I haven't been able to find it.

#134An online organizational space for HOA's. It would allow HOA members to view the budget, see the monthly meeting agenda, file proxy votes, see any open issues, and vote on board members. I have the feeling (based on personal experience) that some HOA managers prefer to operate in obscurity, so it may be tough to market.
I think it could work–could be tough to sell, though.

#135A service combining the flexibility and ease of use of a CMS site (Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc) with the speed and security of a static HTML site. The CMS version would be a private site (not accessible by the general public) which is compiled into a static HTML site which is publicly accessible. There should be a way to deal with formerly dynamic elements, such as contact/comment forms, site search, etc. (possibl…
Maybe try looking into Grow? http://preview.growsdk.org/

Damn good idea, but as you suggest I can't see the managers being too keen on it.

> Isn't that what your own name does? I've never heard of anyone being able to send mail to a person using only their name on an envelope. You would have a unique "ID" which you can assign to any physical address. This is all you ever give out. If you move, you update one record, and your mail will come to the right place.
I see what you are saying and I like it a lot. I think you would still need a way to have people discover the current state you live in. One thing that comes to mind is taxes that differ per state. If I told amazon to ship my package to bob@foo.bar they would still need to know where I live.
It's similar to a website. If HN moves to another server, everyone doesn't have to update their bookmarks to point to a new IP address. Instead, they visit the same URL as always, and it automatically sends everyone to the new IP.

#139What's stopping us from making something like http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/01/29/best-keyboard-ever/ ? Samsung came out with a phone in 2010 with an e-ink keyboard (Samsung Zeal). Are there any unsolved obstacles preventing this kind of keyboard from becoming a reality? I would imagine such a keyboard, even at a $300 price point, would be massively more successful than the Optimus Maximus ever was. To entice users…
