Show HN: LavaSend - SnapChat for documents

Posted by jbhelms on Wednesday January 22, 2014 @11:47AM
from the show-hn dept.

LavaSend allows you to send a document, currently text based like PDF/Word/etc but plans for other stuff in the future, and you have full control over what the receiver can do.You can make the document die after a few seconds/minutes/days, like SnapChat does with pics, or you can allow them to open the document x number of times.

Re:The Day Programmer vs. The Night Programmer (2006) on Saturday March 03, 2012 @05:21PM (#3661289)
The terms night and day confused me a little. I consider myself a morning person, but a night programmer. I thrive in the early mornings, but I have all the traits described here as a night programmer.

That is good to know. I guess this helps catch SEO cheats with javascript

I think this is the method I plan on using and offering to my customers. It will get the point across and still allow them to function.

Ask HN: A good domain registrar/ssl cert

Posted by jbhelms on Thursday December 22, 2011 @10:30AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I currently use GoDaddy to manage our domains/dns and to get ssl certs. I recently found out that GoDaddy actively supports SOPA. I have decided to take my business elsewhere.The one thing about GoDaddy I like is their DNS manager. It makes it easy to just add A/CNAME records.Any suggestions on a new DNS host?

Re:How can I get a meeting with Alexis Ohanian, a Y Combinator Ambassa... on Wednesday December 14, 2011 @11:26PM (#3355024)
I second what both those people said. I had a nice email exchange with him about my startup. It didn't turn into a meeting like it did for the second person, but he did help me. Also, you can find him on Reddit as well. I have never met him in person, but from our interactions, email and Reddit, he seems like a really nice guy.

In the comment section on there someone pointed out that they knew someone who died the same way and it was a peaceful death. They just stopped breathing while in a coma. I do hope he went peacefully.

Well no, I am a fairly analytical person. If G+ dies I will not hold on just because.
