Does anyone know of a good data modeling course like this? I understand SQL, but I think I could still improve at data modeling.

I'd put a call to action right below this text to potentially get more sign ups. To be honest though I would like to see what it is before signing up. I can't really tell what I can do on the site from the landing page.

This is really cool! Do you have any plans of documenting how you did it?
Re:Show HN: Distraction Free Reader/Writer on Wednesday May 29, 2013 @03:03AM (#5785045)
Any open source ones?
I would love to see how it was built. I'm quite new to web development, and I recently built my first sign up page, but have always wanted to learn how to build the nice animations that show up on many sign up pages.
Bitbucket offers free private repos to everyone as well. And there's no need to fill out a special form. That's what I've been using for school projects.
I would definitely move the call to action button "Get Started For Free" to be above the fold. It seems like it would go nicely above the "Digital Project Spaces for Creative Teams" section.
Honestly curious, are all of the cost covered out of your pocket? How can you manage to maintain such a service for free? Looks great... I haven't found anything out there that will let you do this for free.

Not for me either.
Re:Review my startup idea on Tuesday April 30, 2013 @03:12PM (#5634271)
1. Yea I agree, but this won't be their personal money that they'll be spending. Typically university clubs receive funding from sponsors which the club uses for its activities.

2. Yes, that works and it's what we currently do, but after they sign up, the officers (at least in my club) use that info for other things, and they have to go through it manually if they're not experienced with macros.

3. That's a great idea. I think the simple member list would be my minimum viable product, and then I could continue to bring in features such as the ones you listed.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback.

Re:Released my startup MVP Outpost, begging for feedback on Tuesday April 30, 2013 @01:55PM (#5633813)
You linked to http://outpostp2p.com/##### which shows nothing. I clicked on the outpost logo and it took me to the home page, but I don't think people will bother giving you feedback if you link them to a blank page.

Review my startup idea

I've been an officer in a club at my university for about a year now and I've noticed potential for a startup in this niche. There are quite a few repetitive processes that are quite tedious and time consuming. Keeping track of members seems to be a time consuming aspect of running the club, and I'd like to build a web app where officers can keep track of their members. A club will sign up for...

Not sure if this was done on purpose, but if you click on sign in with facebook and then hit cancel on the facebook dialog box, the card still opens... just a heads up.
Re:How to use Amazon S3 like you use CloudApp on Sunday April 14, 2013 @03:07AM (#5546192)
I really like the idea. Maybe you could also add a prefix to the file and have it automatically upload into that folder. Lets say st_background.png and it will automatically upload to your static files folder and app_img_filename.png will upload to app/img/
Re:Show HN: My startup intro video on Saturday April 13, 2013 @06:12PM (#5544878)
The video looks good, but why would I use your app instead of checking on yelp where more people have reviewed the "place"? Honestly curious why you think users should check your app instead of yelp?
Please vertically center the text on those buttons!
