A classic. The part when the agitator-clown-carnival barker yells "Folks I'm just an average American but I'm an American American! {{insert-ad-libbed-racist-tirade}}". Good thing we defeated nonsense like this long ago.

I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment but respect Dr. Wu's option. I'm also interested in the HN community's options.

1) No Google branding 2) Email notifications 3) Use your CSS to customize the look of your website's form.

I'm glad there is a simple $5 plan. This makes hacking on my small project (http://fireform.org/ - plug) a much more reasonable proposition.
Re:Introducing Firebase Hosting on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @01:20AM (#7742329)
I've hosted my FB apps on Github up to this date but am very pleased to see they have added the features that a go beyond a simple static site deployment. I'm especially excited about the SSL support.

I really appreciate this: TBL says cool URIs don't change! https://www.dropbox.com/s/2l158c8adnba9nw/Screenshot%202014-... [screenshot]
So glad someone remembers the good old days.
In an ideal world the "name" of you form should be the key and the "type" should be the schema. This is perfect when you want you need the bread and butter of a website form: an email response and a spreadsheet of the contacts.
You can add a hidden field with the URL or a flag. You can also sort off that field in the results.
Thanks Edmond! We used Firebase's validation rules to create a basic schema but something more robust might be called for in the future.
We made this because we are particular about our markup and wufoo's iframe and banner in the form was a non-starter for our client's needs.
We are not sure about pricing for now. We shied away from making a form builder. A la wufoo or google forms. This is made to be as close to HTML forms as possible. It's made to work on any static site with any form markup. If you are like us you are picky about your markup and wouldn't think of using an iframe.
It's really awesome we were able to build this completely on Firebase's system. The zapier integration for email was clutch too. Ne sweat on the scaling.
Regrets for the sizing issue. Hopefully it still get's the job done.
Re:Airpair's fast growing pair programming community on Wednesday October 02, 2013 @03:10PM (#6484544)
I'm enamored with this service. I use google hangout to pair program all the time, but I love the idea of finding people on Github to video conference for rapid problem solving.

It's cool that the Puzzle Palace was popular within the NSA itself.

Could anyone suggest an additional title?
