Re:Ask HN: Are decentralised webapps the future? on Sunday May 14, 2017 @06:18AM (#14334991)
While I'd love to see this happen, I'm not convinced there is enough of a critical mass that actually care about the benefits of decentralised apps. Developing peer-to-peer software is considerably different to traditional software in it's communication (routing, sign-on), storage etc
Re:Use "App folder" access type instead of "Full Dropbox" on Friday January 06, 2017 @06:49AM (#13335600)
I've had this very same thought, really needs addressing. Not sure why this is such a hard thing to achieve tbh
Yep, you can do that! You can also pause or cancel your account at any time
Thanks for the feedback jwblackwell. We wanted to give the element of surprise to trips. You can however pause or cancel the subscription any time so not a contract per-se.

This should be on the 'How It Works' section, but definitely needs to be clearer
Hah we are thinking about unveiling this later on down the line :)
Thanks for the feedback! We have made it so you can pause/cancel subscriptions, that way you can travel however often you like. You can also add people to your current trip once registered as an add-on
Agree, could imagine this being big in CA too

Doubt they would prosecute if they are making more money through the scrapping.

Pretty good resource but not sure where the large-scale part is other than Chapter 12
