Man in the box by Alice In Chains is a great example of this. The song starts at 105 bpm, then gets 5 bpm faster but then never settles back to exactly 105.

It’s almost amateurish when reading the music, but when you listen to it, it does have a very distinct feel to it.

It’s not open source for now. You can contact me on Twitter @jevinsew

Yes, this definitely needs at least a joke on the homepage. You have space on the right side. You could have a few jokes that are shown randomly on page load. That would be nice.

What about Putty Tray?

https://puttytray.goeswhere.com/

They have some neat features and the website is under https.

This is actually quite cool. Looks like all Macbooks around the 2012 era had SMS: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1935

My cousin has an accommodation business called Orchid Villas. So we got the domain http://orchid.villas which is pretty cool I think.

I would still advise getting the "traditional" (.com, .net, etc) counterpart too.

I think no lyrics is key! Instrumental tracks are less intrusive and have a lot of repeating patterns.

I think this is an amazing gem. And I'm eager to use it on my Rails projects.

On a side note, am I the only one who feels that autocomplete tend to get in the way when I'm coding?

I've been freelancing on the web for a few years now and I agree about the $100/hr rate being ridiculous, at least for freelancing on the Internet.

Keep these 2 things in mind:

1) Not all clients are from the US on freelancing websites!

2) Clients are on there because they want a cheaper rate!

Now I'm not telling anyone to work for cheap. $50-60/hr is perfectly achievable. Just remember to start low and buildup on sites like oDesk/Elance.

Another route you might try is http://www.toptal.com/. They only hire the very best developers, and their interviews/tests reflect that. It's worth nothing that even they will advise you that $100/hr is a rather expensive rate for someone outside the US.

This is great! XSS is one of the hardest things to get right when it comes to security. I'll be sure to complete all the challenges, because I'm working on a product that could use some good HTML sanitizing.

Thanks for chiming in Daniel!

That makes things a lot clearer. And it does make sense.

Thanks for those insights! Especially for pointing out the difference between url and text based submissions. Didn't know that one!

Also, I realise that I might have wrongly formulated my question. It didn't actually bother me that the "Show HN" prefix was removed from my post (I was on the front page).

It's just that it made me question if there were some guidelines I was not adhering to.

That sounds like a good reason. Maybe someone can confirm this?

You can have a look at http://www.fastspring.com/ too. I use them to sell my plugins online. Their support is fantastic.

I see exactly what you mean. Maybe it's clearer if we go with "XX GB of storage space".

Phonetically it does sound identical. I've started documenting myself on the whole naming and trademarking aspect of online services. If I have a nice list, I'll post the links in a thread here.

That's a pretty exhaustive list. Thanks. I used this one (which is not too bad): http://www.clickminded.com/seo-checklist/

That's really helpful. Thanks. Sounds like we'll have to check this issue in details.

It means 20 sets of articles.

Ouch. So ashamed of this! But I fixed it. I'm verifying all the text again. Thanks for he heads up.

Ohh that's a nice find. It's actually per month. I'll have that modified right away.

Thanks for these kind words!

Theme customisation is definitely something on our future features list. But maybe we should move it up on the priority list. ;-)

Of course, I'll have that checked out! ;-)
