I've heard similar issues with startups I work with in SE Asia and East Africa. In a similar vein to the Alipay integration you mention, I was also recently meeting with a handful of startups in Nairobi, and we were discussing how an integration with M-Pesa would be awesome, in particular as Safaricom recently opened up their API.

Thanks ritwikt for trying it out, Linkedin's API has proven to be a bit finicky compared to Facebook's API. At the moment, because we're also focused on mapping your social network and ironing out the details, we have quota score of 50 for testing out the full platform.

Thanks! I used Videoscribe by Sparkol. In the end, I used their paid version, which provided high resolution and soundtrack integration, but their free trial is pretty comprehensive as well.

I love stories of this kind of successful anonymous collaboration. I can't help but think that they will only become more common/cross-border. Keep it up!

We were hoping that being able to poke around and see all the rankings and lists of resources in the different categories would give the user a sense for what we're trying to do. And I hear what you're saying - we'll work on changing these conditions - thanks again for the feedback, much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback wavesounds, and I definitely hear what you're saying. You've convinced me to make the change - we'll make sure to flag to the wider team for the next iteration!

Thanks for the feedback krrishd! We changed the toolbox restrictions, so visitors can access the full toolbox contents without signing up (need to sign in only to view the resources profile pages and for commenting/voting)
And per your previous feedback, agreed - in the next iteration, we're planning on making the tags less prominent. Would love to hear others' feedback if they have it!

We added a sign up to track votes and comments on the resources (so users wouldn't be able to vote more than once). These lists are opening up months of our market research, and you can see all of them without signing up (sign up allows you to see a description and as mentioned, allows for commenting and voting for those that are interested). We're also finishing up the core of the site focused on personal social network analytics: https://globality.be/features which I am excited about.

Thanks! The MOOCs and the "technical development tools" (things like javascript frameworks and databases) seem to be the most popular resources so far. The larger toolbox started out as compilation of the tools identified during our market research with tech entrepeneurs and then to keep it updated and relevant, we decided to crowdsource its ongoing curation. I did a Show HN a couple of weeks back, but it got bombarded with downvotes off the bat. Happy to answer questions if people have them
