Bravo! This is a brilliant idea, and quite well executed. I wish you every success.
Thank you.

#72If you're letting people enter in their credit card information at any point for any reason you MUST get an SSL certificate and force people to use a TLS secured connection. Infosec 101
Admittedly that's all happening with javascript passthrough to stripe's API using https.

This. I added https to my site to get users to stop worrying, but AFAIK you don't need it with Stripe.

Did you pay for the other illustrations on your home page? They look a bit disparate, and some turn up elsewhere in an image search: https://dribbble.com/shots/1553377-Changing-Homes?list=users... http://dabbled.org/this-robot-has-expired/ http://www.creativebloq.com/illustration/illustrations-strip...

I suspect he's just grabbed this template: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-templ... but yes, you make an excellent point. Equally I agree with his approach of using a $9 template before validating w customers and working out the business model...not sure what the theme site says about the images licence wise but it's not necessarily a bad abstraction to assume that images included with a templa…
In light of the fact that the template you've linked looks exactly like recallbee.com, the author's comment "Thanks, I actually copied the image to see what it'd look like in place and forgot to take it out" seems disingenuous.

#75Beautiful execution but I find the purpose misguided. I am a parent too so maybe that's a cultural difference (EU vs US?) but if my kid choked on a toy I would pay closer attention to toys going forward rather than look for toy vendors to do my parenting for me.
You make a good point, but surely you'd admit that you're not versed on every possible danger that a toy could present. For example, what if we discover a year from now that a particular paint or varnish that we thought was completely safe is actually toxic?
I would imagine that both our governments pay experts to research such things, and making their conclusions more accessible seems like a useful enterprise.

#76My main concern would be that I have to input all of the toys my kids are using. I'm just not sure that I would ever do that. But looks cool. Also, the right side of the site doesn't seem to be constrained; I can scroll way over - http://take.ms/P4CZQ
Same, I can scroll pretty far to the right. Running Chrome 41.0.2272.76 on OS X 10.10.2.

Thanks, I actually copied the image to see what it'd look like in place and forgot to take it out. I'll address that first thing! Again. Thanks so much for that!

What a really passive aggressive way of doing what I don't know exactly. What is your point in calling the OP out like this instead of in private, Asshole?

Seems really unlikely that template has licensed all those images either given it's from a template farm that looks like they churn these things out and the many sources.
According to this, they're all Creative Commons-licensed: https://wrapbootstrap.com/theme/triangle-multi-purpose-templ... I don't really know if I believe that, but there we are.
Note that he/she doesn't say which Creative Commons license. It could be a non-commercial license.
Besides, I don't see any attributions to the artists for these images (which is required for all the various Creative Commons licenses).
I highly doubt this theme is legitimate. OP, be wary of using this theme.

#79Please reconsider describing your newsletter as "high value", which is corporate jargon and doesn't seem suited to your audience. Instead explain what someone signing up will get from it.

You know, if you have a problem with someone and want to say something,fine, but don't be a coward and hide behind a throwaway account. Apparently you only speak your mind when you're sure that everyone around will agree with you, which is pathetic.
