PS I read the one by AQUARIUS

In September 1993, I started my final year of high school in Greece, aiming to study Computer Science. A girl I barely knew heard I was into computers and handed me Neuromancer, the 1989 Greek edition. I still have it.

I already loved science fiction, though my reading had mostly been Asimov, Dick, and Clarke — robots and space, not so much computers. Neuromancer hit differently. I devoured it. Then I read it again. And again.

That whole year because of the enormous pressure of final exams (I can't explain how important they make you feel these exams are) I didn't touch any other book. I just kept re-reading Neuromancer. It became like a comfort food — familiar but exciting. I must have read it over 100 times.

At some point, I realized I had memorized it. Someone would open it randomly, read a sentence, and I could continue reciting from memory. A real-life Fahrenheit 451 moment.

To this day, I still re-read it every year or two, and it never loses its magic. And I can still describe what's happening on any given page although this has faded a lot.

P.S. I did go on to study Computer Science, and I still love programming.

P.P.S. I married the girl who gave me the book, we had kids but eventually we divorced 29 years later. Still friends.

Could this run locally? I would certainly pay for that and you're off the hook on how anyone uses it.

I already joined the beta but I want to point out another use case here as well:

In many countries (ie Greece where I'm from) movies and TV shows never get dubbed. We rely on subtitles. This means that if you can't see well (disability or age-related eye problems) and if your English is not excellent, then you are doomed to only watch locally produced movies & shows.

This can be a real life-changer.

It took me and my co-founder ~3 months of hard full-time work to build this first version.

We pull data straight from the exchanges (>30 at this time) and one of the most time consuming tasks is taking care of outlier prices, overpriced sales of small coin amounts, erroneous trades and the general instability of the 30+ APIs we consume.

We’re not 100% sure what our direction should be - suggestions welcome. We do intend to integrate with more exchanges, add more and more user features (ie a better portfolio that pulls data from exchanges, push notifications etc) and redo the whole UI.

Very well done!

Does it work correctly? pdfmyurl.com does and so do a few more online such services.

I guess this is compared to plain PHP not to accelerators? And what exactly is the difference from a PHP accelerator?

a) csrf: Basecamp search results page could reject input that didn't originate from the respective search box. But it's useful to be able to send someone a link that will perform a search - it isn't a state changing operation after all. So everyone allows that.

b) xss: the main problem of course is that the search results page prints the search input without any filtering...

Some questions:

a) How does it work? Lets say I have a recipe site and a visitor arrives from Google having searched for "steak". How do you find related articles on my site?

b) What if my site isn't indexed? (e.g. new, blocked etc)

c) The widget has 8 actions (links/buttons etc). 2 of them point to my site and 6 to yours! I would prefer something like 7 to mine and 1 to yours :)

d) Certainly add some options. The "Looking for more on", "Or try a new search" and the 3 related keywords should be optional.

e) The 480px is very limiting. I can't put that in a sidebar it has to go to the main area

f) The site copy needs a redo. I could not easily grasp what it does, how it works etc.

Great work overall - I hope my suggestions are well taken!
