Just curious–why do you want to host the data on your own servers?


Confidentiality and security. Sharing that level of information with outside organizations is just not possible in some situations. Regulated industries need to have full auditable control of all of their data and infrastructure, and a third party does not allow for that.

Even if it was possible for me, I still would not want that level of information out there with a third party. It increases the surface area for an attack, and puts the company at greater risk relying on an unknown level of security which there is no direct control over.


Perfectly put. I would also add that the SaaS market has shown enough volatility that if I can't run it on my own instance there are no guarantees that a service will exist a year from now.

When it comes to my personal todo list, I'm ok with that. When we're talking about a project management tool that becomes a part of your team's culture, concerns mount quickly.


Huh. I'm really surprised there isn't a Russian clone of tender already.


The first video I checked out was fun.


Real-world Meetup.com meetups.


I second this. I am a member of around 7 local developer focused meetups. I go to a meetup at least 1 or twice a month.

The people I like to follow on twitter most are those that are laser-focused on producing content related to one thing. Conan O'Brien, for example, almost exclusively tells jokes. I don't want to read his re-tweet of some fan's comment, for example. These make Twitter a lot less useful. A complement to your service would be to remove these less useful tweets from my feed, and just show in aggregate the links that were tweeted, as you currently do. I've spent very little time on Twitter; maybe this kind of service was first offered years ago.


Yes, that would ideal way to use twitter. But most of the people don't use twitter for that. For example, Mashable has 4.3M followers, what they do is tweet every 15 minutes or so with their links, sharing a link multiple times. And for these 4.3M followers those, the kind of tweets you mentioned will get buried among these tweets.

But its very difficult to separate the "less useful" tweets. For example @pmarca shares a lot of links always accompanied by some comment. But a lot of people share just the title and the link and can be considered less useful in a sense that it should be displayed in a list like in Delta.

Still that's a great idea, and increase the utility of twitter for a lot of users. I never thought of that. Thanks.


Looks useful. Is this better implemented as an option of a linter?


I'm not aware of any linters applying this sort of logic in suggesting to extract numbers to their own declarations. One could also go as far as declaring strings and whatnot...


Following what @georgespencer said, there's no strong brand here. Forget about the website and come up with a brand.

By the way, marketing yourselves to people that will pay you handsomely for professional services and then putting an ad for a $4.99 template at the bottom is a dumb idea.



I love your beluga-head icon.


Thanks! @NathanBartel had fun with that one.
