Very interesting. Would love to see some more numbers in a few months for both Knowtify signups and Relay usage.

Ask HN: Is your Slack-based product profitable?

Looking at the last few days on ProductHunt, I’m seeing about 8+ products for Slack. Some of them are a sub-product of the main one with either their own pricing or used to promote the main product. Some are a full-fledged startup, some even only seem to work in a Slack environment. Pricing vary between Free to ~$50/months.I’m guessing the Slack ecosystem is pretty healthy but is it profitable?...

As of right now we don’t want automatic memes on the home page. Working on something even better as we speak.

We’ll keep you all posted (@DropMeme) Thanks for your feedback @vinhboy

We do plan to add more built-in memes very soon and perhaps categories and whatnot. Until then you can use any image on the web with ?template_url=*

Enjoy! http://dropmeme.com/?template_url=http://blogs.telegraph.co....

Great job on that HTML table.

You’re absolutely right. It is more of a JavaScript-less experiment (folders) than an actual css version of an iPhone Home Screen.

Not that I’m aware of. Feel free to open an issue https://github.com/EtienneLem/skeleton/issues and we’ll try to figure it out
Re:Skeleton: A CoffeeScript Node.js Project Generator on Friday July 13, 2012 @02:14PM (#4241043)
To tell the truth, I wasn’t aware of the "other" Skeleton.
Re:Skeleton: A CoffeeScript Node.js Project Generator on Friday July 13, 2012 @01:57PM (#4240933)
Yeah, I did only check on http://npmjs.org to see if the bin script name was available.

Then I made the css only logo (See and inspect @ http://heliom.ca/en/blog/skeleton) and couldn’t look back.

Interesting. I will take a look, thanks.

Oooh, that does give me a hint about what’s going on. It should be fixed. Let me know. Thanks
Re:Your GitHub News Feed, Without The Mess on Thursday June 21, 2012 @07:56PM (#4144745)
Sorry about that, it does look like a recurring problem for some people. I cannot reproduce this issue on my end. What browser are you using?
Re:Your GitHub News Feed, Without The Mess on Thursday June 21, 2012 @03:53PM (#4143897)
hmm, well I don’t know what’s happening. Everything looks fine here. What OS & browser/version are you using?
Re:Your GitHub News Feed, Without The Mess on Thursday June 21, 2012 @02:32PM (#4143502)
Was it about 10 minutes ago? If so it should be alright now. If not do you see any error message?
Re:Your GitHub News Feed, Without The Mess on Thursday June 21, 2012 @02:06PM (#4143361)
Update: Sorry about that, we had a callback error in the public version. All fixed now. Thanks!

There is 2 login buttons: One with write access and one without.
Re:Your GitHub News Feed, Without The Mess on Thursday June 21, 2012 @02:02PM (#4143342)
This is only so we can read your private events. There is a public version (no write access) if you don’t want to give write access. If you don’t even have private repos, don’t bother ;)

Do note that the app doesn’t use it’s write privilege. (see https://github.com/EtienneLem/octofeed).
