Re:Accept donations on your site instantly on Tuesday December 02, 2014 @05:55PM (#8690613)
Yep! There's a link at the bottom of every email receipt for recurring billing donations to cancel the recurring charge.

I totally agree that adding some text to the effect of "you may cancel at any time" would be perfect -- we'll get that in there!

CrowdtiltOpen (formerly Crowdhoster) started out as a side project built on top of the Crowdtilt API.

We chose Ruby because we wanted the project to be as accessible as possible. There are low barriers to entry to customizing the app and it's allowed for some pretty awesome contributions from the open source community. https://github.com/Crowdtilt/CrowdtiltOpen

Core contributor on CrowdtiltOpen here -- sorry for the lack of international info, we'll update the FAQs! Shoot me an email (lebel at crowdtilt dot com) and I'll happily get you set up with the international beta.
I work for Crowdtilt -- if someone who knows Richard can contact me (lebel at crowdtilt dot com), I can help get a campaign set up with all fees waived.

The source and a readme to set up your own instance of Crowdhoster is at http://github.com/Crowdtilt/Crowdhoster.

Feel free to email [email protected] if you need any help setting it up!

This is awesome! What's the backstory / stack?
Yardsale (app) does an awesome job of posting to Craigslist as well.
Skip the Prezi and go straight to the website contact page.

Reasoning -

1. Your landing page displays an already powerful statement. 2. Your site (post-Prezi) looks professional, the Prezi doesn't. 3. I find it annoying to click through the Prezi.

Re:Show HN: What I built 6 months into learning to code on Sunday October 21, 2012 @09:00AM (#4679610)
The mobile version of the site is really slick. The onboarding for a new user felt friendly.

Two things:

1. I had little context of who the people were I could choose to follow (save for their photos).

2. I had no place to upload a profile photo.

Care to share your tech stack or how you progressed over six months of learning? I'd love to hear about it.
