Thanks for responding, I have just sent you an email.

How Stripe has ruined my business

Dear HN,I am only writing this post because Stripe customer support absolutely sucks.I began using Stripe for my business as I had heard good things about it. However, out of nowhere, I received this email from them:"Hi Ramario,Our systems recently identified charges that appear to be unauthorized by the cardholder, meaning that the owner of the credit or debit card did not consent to these...

Re:Ask HN: Combating thoughts of suicide/depression on Monday July 08, 2013 @02:11PM (#6008165)
I felt very similar to you at one point in my life. Like most people the reason you are depressed is because you have a idea/vision of what your life should be like and because it isn't that way, it is upsetting you.

We are products of our rituals/habits. To change my thinking and spawn out of my depression I realised I had to take consistant action. So, now I spend an hour every day working out and another hour listening or watching something inspirational. Then, I start my day.

I would highly suggest you watch some of Tony robbins' seminars on youtube.

Looks very cool. Great design
Re:Show HN: Testimonial Board - Generate more sales on Sunday March 03, 2013 @10:48PM (#5316469)
Hi Rex, I am currently working on a live demo. But, how it basically works is your company has a subdomain e.g yourcompany.testimonialboard.com - this is where all your testimonials will be displayed like in the screenshot.

To get your customers to share a testimonial on your Testimonial Board you would need to redirect them to yourcompany.testimonialboard.com/new, then they will be able to share a testimonial about there experience with your product. You would have full control and can delete any unfair reviews.

Thanks for sharing such a personal experience Paul. This article resonated with me deeply. I also wonder about God and try to make sense of my own existence. Great post!

Show HN: Trckstr an app that converts revision notes into audio

http://trckstr.com

Hi, I'm 18 still studying. I began recording my revision notes and listening to them on the bus and train repeatedly. I realized that I learn well by listening. I began sending these recordings to my friends and soon realized that this would probably be useful to all students. So here it is:http://trckstr.comPS - Please tell me what you think about the concept.

The simplicity of this makes it enjoyable. Great work!

Ask HN: Rails or Sinatra?

Hey, experienced ruby devs. Which ruby framework is best, in terms of flexibility and scalability? I have a background in PHP. I know the basics of Ruby but, I am still learning. Thanks.

Thanks for your response
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Thursday September 06, 2012 @06:43PM (#4486681)
Thanks for your response. Some people have tried to tackle this problem but, I feel it can be done much better and as you said, incorporate some kind of social elements.
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @11:22PM (#4482703)
Hi, thanks for your response. The goal of this would not be to stop you opening more tabs but, to help you manage those tabs. Kind of like Dropbox for tabs, I think. Would you be interested in using something like this?
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @10:46PM (#4482628)
Sweet, I'll send you a link when it is finished.
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @10:09PM (#4482516)
Thanks for your response. I'm definitely having the same problem, If I do built this, you will be able to have tab categories and more advanced features.
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @09:58PM (#4482495)
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I haven't fully completed it yet, I wanted to actually find out if people would use something like this before I wrote any more code. I could send you an email when it's complete.

By the way, which browser do you use?

Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @09:35PM (#4482443)
Thanks for your response. Yeah, I'm using firefox, that's why. Just tried out Chrome, seems they have already solved this problem.
Re:Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once? on Wednesday September 05, 2012 @09:31PM (#4482428)
Thanks for your response. So, do you feel the need for a more efficient tab manager? Or are you satisfied with the built in one for chrome?

Ask HN: Do you have loads of browser tabs open at once?

Hi, I am considering building a browser extension/website that saves your browser tabs for you. I have a problem of having lots of browser tabs and not wanting to close any of them when I want to shut down my mac. Are you having this problem too? Would you use a browser extension/website that allows you to save your browser session and recover it on any computer/browser anytime?<p>Thanks...

Re:Things I do to be consistently happy on Sunday August 19, 2012 @08:36PM (#4405780)
I can relate to this article. I've found that waking up at 6am and going for a jog was a great way to start the day. Also, as a programmer you can lose all sense of time whilst pounding away at a project. My way of disengaging from that is going to the gym, the cinema or just hanging out with friends. You must be sure to not get lost in the start-up race and do things that have nothing to do with your start-up every now and then at least. Great article!
