I am not sure if i will use this or not. But anyways Congrats on the release of the product.

What i did not get from the site is sneak peek into the design. Do you have a link or something where we can see a demo template design.

Re:Ask HN: How do you find out if your idea is new? on Wednesday April 15, 2015 @07:19AM (#9380143)
You should have this in mind: Facebook was not the first social network, google was not the first search engine, amazon was not the first marketplace. So think of the market whether there is room for some more improvements and/or the market is huge enough to have more than one similar products. How can you solve the shortcomings of the similar product and be different.
Re:An API is only as good as its documentation on Monday March 30, 2015 @08:14AM (#9288952)
A very valid point raised by the author. Having worked with multiple api's i can say that developers start preferring that product which has better api docs than the other product which has a crappy doc inspite of having many features.

I was working with PayPal few years back and there are bunch of apis that they provide, but the explanation and usage is so bad that you end up spending a lot of unnecessary time figuring out what to do. And then i came to Stripe integration. They have beautiful apis which can be integrated smoothly and very easily. I tell developers to follow Stripe's api for writing documentation and examples.

I guess you can see Where you are by typing Cmd + I in the folder.

I know this is not the best possible solution for this :)

A lot like Instamojo, but Razorpay looks more refined product. Signed up and used the API a bit. Using it was a breeze. Also the documentation is like Stripe which helps a lot.

Congrats on the launch! I am hopeful that recurring transaction problem will also be tackled later on.

Thanks a lot for the answer.

Thanks a lot for the answer. We are doing the same thing as you have mentioned.

This is an unnecessary distraction though at this point of time :)

Ask HN: Security Vulnerability Rewards

Hi,You are working on a product and the product is still in the beta stage, and someone out of the blue sends an email to you that your site has these security vulnerabilities(valid ones) and asks for rewards in return.Has anyone faced this kind of situations? We are willing to give him the reward, but being in beta stage, we are still not sure as to what and how much we should reward him.

Re:What is A/B Testing? on Friday July 05, 2013 @05:50AM (#5994174)
Its working with AdBlock plus 1.4.1
You can use different mechanisms to test out the website and its UI components.

I have worked with Splinter(which is a python based testing framework) and CasperJS(JS based framework) and both of them works fine.

With Splinter you can test out your website not only in headless browsers but with normal browsers as well. It has selenium plugin as well.

This is really nice, would love to have the questions sorted according to the topics
Re:Show HN: Clickpath query language on Wednesday December 14, 2011 @12:44PM (#3352749)
I feel the data analysis in the most efficient way and to learn from the data is the most important aspect to grow.

You have mentioned in the point 2 that "We do heavy-lifting of event collection and pre-processing to enable fast and flexible queries powered by map-reduce." I guess the event collection will be based on some Javascript call. If that is so, do include the flexibility to attach some properties with the event.

Re:Show HN: Clickpath query language on Wednesday December 14, 2011 @11:55AM (#3352519)
isnt is somewhat like event tracking and funnel analysis that mixpanel provides.

They do provide a fair bit of flexibility of slicing and dicing of data as well in their UI

Re:Why we ditched PayPal for Stripe on Friday December 09, 2011 @12:01AM (#3332651)
Paypal actually offer a Embedded payment experience which in no sense gives the feeling of embedded payments on the website. https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&c...

On this link you can find the experience of Embedded payments, i implemented it on our site but the docs on the api are not complete on paypal, rather complete they are not present at one place.

* Yes, Individual properties should have been reflected in the url. Actually if you type in the property in the search box it is creating a url which does the work, but clicking on a property is not making the link. Hope they'll refine it a bit.

Great article. The other most important thing which should be avoided in the startups is "Premature Optimization"
