Hi Mariust,
Couple of things according to my research.
* Paypal recurring comes with only PayPalPro account. Will PayPro account work with Indian Bank Account?
* As far as I understand chargify is not a payment gateway. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,I am resident of Indian and have an account in Indian Bank. I am planning to launch a saas product which requires recurring payment(typical subscription service). Supported currency will be USD. Please let me know viable payment gateway options.
Good Luck. I like the concept and waiting for other programming language support.
Great idea. Was looking for something like this to show some prototype. Was wondering is it necessary to be restricted only to rails app? For ex., I can host a wiki and try to get static address with your service. Might want to check dyndsn sort of services.
I like the idea. Why the listings should be only from ebay? Aggregate listings from other popular shopping sites.

2. No. Haven't tried.
3. No.
4. http://roorky.com - Interactive ebooks (ibook??)
Hi,
Is rankiac profitable?
I like the idea. I think key to success of this idea - getting people already know the subject to participate in the service. Their input might be more valuable. So it also brings down to point to ranking various lists available on the same topic. Digg/reddit like voting might be useful here and in turn might improve engagement also.
Hi Tichy,
Thanks for the feedback. Changed heading to "Interactive Block Diagram". Would you mean you prefer maps like interface?
Hi jrockway,
Can you please elaborate more on this point.
Hi Cubible67,
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah you are right. App and diagram are not polished. I put up quickly something that gives a feel of what I am thinking and get feedback is there really need for such thing. Surely I will consider all of your points and put up more polished one in some time. All of them are valid points except for interaction consistency. When you go deeper into Network you see "Virtual File System" which a sub component of Network. Double clicking on "Virtual File System" should take you to internal details of VFS. But they are none of details as far the diagram is considered. So it won't do anything.
Note: Indicating which of them are clickable is a very valid point. Will try to incorporate it in some time.

I feel current block diagrams are not very self explanatory. For ex., you want to know brief details about block and know internal details of a block then need to go through rest of document."Interactive Diagrams" tries to solve this problem by allowing users to interact with block diagram to know more details about it. Specifically it will answer following kinds of questions -* Briefly...
Protocol Buffers will work fine and their documentation is very clear. These are my findings based on my experience -
* Serializing data is ok but parsing takes quite a bit of time especially for large requests. (I am talking in milli seconds)
* PBs always require a copy from your internal app data to its structures. Couldn't find a way to avoid that.
* They have variable length encoding and it might be a good option if your data comprised of large percent of integers. From our experience don't use it if you are sending within your corp network as packing and parsing takes more time compared to savings in amount of data transfer. They might be a good option if you are sending data across slow networks.
Some of the metrics show that Thrift performs better than PBs. Also Thrift provides options of using different protocols. If Performance is prime criteria JSON + zipping should be a good option. Also they won't have an intermediate step of generating marshaling code.

Hi,I am getting quite comfortable using Ruby on Rails but keep hearing about performance problems that comes with Ruby. So when looking for efficient implementations of Ruby came across JRuby. Also ability to use any Java library is a huge advantage for our current project.Has anybody used JRuby successfully for their rails project? More interested in any problems faced because of JRuby?

Hi,We are brainstorming an idea which is a variation of existing web conferencing solution. We are finding it hard to "implement dialing in via telephone" feature as we lack experience in this field. Is anybody here attends or hosts web conference without telephone(using computer mic and speaker, i.e., VOIP)? Or do you know companies which are interested in this kind of solution for lesser...

Which tools like IDE, editor do you use to develop your webapp? Paid ones as well as free ones. I am particularly interested in applications using frameworks like Ruby on Rails, DJango or CakePHP.
Its awesome, extremely polished. Very well done. Though I am not interested in much in art it has the drive to make me buy something. Very good work.
Hi Kleine2,
Please mail me at [email protected]. We can discuss more on the same idea. :)
Isn't it similar to 43things.com?
I have one problem - Recently launched products are always in need of spreading the word about them. One of the better ways to do it would be find blogs, articles or discussions going on to related to the product. I would like to setup a service which sends me some N urls everyday where I can go and add some useful insights to the discussions as well as put my service url there, so that it brings in some new users to my site. Let me know if you are interested in this.
I am currently using Balsamiq Mocksups. I can't see how is it different from Balsamiq Mockups. Why should I switch to another product which has nothing different to offer. In my opinion it looks a little worse.
If you are like me - A person knows basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript but artistically challenged. For my site a bought a template from
http://themeforest.net and tweaked it to meet my needs. It worked pretty well for me. Most of the templates costs you 10-15$. But you need to deposit 20$ to buy anything. (I hate this part). If you are willing spend around 20$ it might be a good option.
I love this site. Please think of adding catchpa for signup. Its very easy for a script to scrape and create quite a number of accounts. Very useful guide to improve search results.
* Voltmeter - How is the keyword targeting decided? I got unexpected keywords for my site.
* RANDAL - I used to check where my site appears for given set of keywords. It solves the problem automatically.
Haven't checked other tools yet. Will be doing it soon.
During development certainly I can iterate more quickly with interpreted languages than with compiled ones. It improves development time considerably.

Is it possible for a language to be both compiled as well as interpreted.* During development we can use interpreter to rapid application development
* In production environment same code base gets compiled to machine code or bytecode for performance reasonsIs it possible? Or is it a stupid idea?
This is a very good video. Thanks a lot.
