Launch HN: Dropkiq – Liquid Expressions Simplified

Hi HN!I'm Adam and I'm on a mission is to simplify Shopify's Liquid markup language. My new product is called Dropkiq and you can find it at https://www.dropkiq.com/.I'm so excited to be here right now! Two weeks ago, I had an amazing job (making lots of ) at a corporate job, and I just left to do a solo venture after about 10 months of going back and fourth if this was the right thing to do or...

Hi HN,

This has been a project I've been working off and on the last few years. I've gotten the plugin and some of the website done in the past, but there wasn't a good way to visualize Minecraft builds for the internet until Chunky Renderer (http://chunky.llbit.se/). Once I discovered Chunky, I was able to make huge progress on my project, and just recently got it to a point I think people can use it.

I would love some advice about how to spread the news about my website. It's been a challenge on how to spread the word to Minecraft admins, and I think I built something they would really enjoy. If you would like to try it on your server, let me know if you would like some help!

Thanks! - Adam

Here's a quick overview of the site:

CanaryClip is a Minecraft mod built on top of WorldEdit. It allows you to upload and download builds to/from CanaryClip.com without leaving Minecraft.

Did you build something amazing in Minecraft? Share it on CanaryClip!

CanaryClip is a new way to share your Minecraft builds online. Your friends will be able to see everything about your build including:

* Automatically rendered images * Your Build’s dimensions * Minecraft blocks used in the build * How many people viewed, favorited, and downloaded your build * The Minecraft server was the build uploaded from

In addition to all this, every build is automatically given a download short code where other people can easily download the build to any Minecraft server running CanaryClip.

If you’ve ever used WorldEdit, you’ll be uploading your builds in no time!

To Upload your build:

1. Build something amazing! 2. Select your build using WorldEdit (`//wand`) 3. Use `//copy` to copy the blocks to your clipboard 4. Use `//can up` to upload the build to CanaryClip (You will be given a shortcode after uploading your build. The build will be immediately available for others to download, but may take a few minutes to show up on the website while the build is rendered)

To Download a build:

1. Find something awesome from CanaryClip, such as http://canaryclip.com/builds/bRjMZDy 2. Use the command `//can down bRjMZDy` to download to your clipboard 3. Use `//paste` to paste into the Minecraft world

You can also follow CanaryClip on Twitter @CanaryClip (https://twitter.com/canaryclip).

IMPORTANT The CanaryClip mod will not work on your server unless you register your server with CanaryClip. Add CanaryClip To Your Minecraft Server

that makes sense though (mostly), after you test once all the images are cached on the second run.
