The ability to link to questions and share them via social media would help.

Overall, the UI is clean an intuitive - nice job!

This would give you the top 30 sources for the past 30 days.

Note the date is hardcoded

Try asking in #cakephp on freenode or in the google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cake-php).
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2014) on Wednesday January 01, 2014 @09:53AM (#6995111)
I checked you out at while back when this popped up in the ML google group and was really impressed! Interested to see where this goes!
Unpopular personal story time.

I have a Google account, and it is perfect. I use the gmail UI to send and receive email from my own domain name, which I use for work and personal email; I then have a gmail address which I use when I am signing up for sites that I expect to receive spam from - I can use both of these simultaneously just selecting which account I want to send from. I have Google+ which I have set up granular permissions, so that certain people can only see certain content. I have a Youtube page, which is connected to my Google account but uses a separate alias completely separate from my real name, which I automatically become when using Youtube. There is no public facing connection between my real name and my YT alias, and I never have to switch accounts or select which one I would like to use.

I might be missing the problem, but to me it seems straight forward and logical.

Re:Be a Man and Stand Up for Gender Equality on Monday December 09, 2013 @12:22PM (#6875306)
By the title I expected a piece of satire.

Titling an article about sexism with 'Be a Man' probably is not the best way to go about advocating equality.

Currently hosting on meteor.com is mainly meant for demoing and testing, not as a stable production enviroment. However, with the release of Meteor 1.0, the Meteor Development Group will launch Galaxy, which is a production ready hosting managed hosting platform.

Re:Show HN: CaaS - Coffee as a Service on Friday November 29, 2013 @04:36AM (#6818613)
I would be interested in this myself, but as a big coffee drinker, I am rather picky about where it comes from etc.

More information on the beans and even expanding the selection of different geographic regions, would probably hook me in.

Re:An IPv6-only VPS that costs less on Friday November 29, 2013 @04:30AM (#6818599)
In same way, no one except 'us tech nerds' care about IPv4. Why would anyone who does not have to work with it, or have an interest in tech, care about protocols?
