News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I like what you said here. Contrary to what people seem to think...these "be all, end all" services and sites aren't suited to very particular and niche markets.

It's funny because there are so many people on HN and Reddit, for example, who don't capitalize on creating small niche services because there's already a Flickr, or already a Youtube and whathaveyou.

So I think you've done a good job here.

I think you could probably market $10 better. Remove the struck out $20 and just prominently and proudly display the $10.

As a risky marketing move, how about refunding all users who paid $20 the difference? What a great way to get them talking about you on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when you deposit their account with $10. It's a nice surprise.

Just an idea. Good luck.

Ask HN: Are there any high-end rentacoder type sites?

I make good money at my job, but I want to buy my own place and I'd like to make an extra few hundreds pounds a month on the side.I've looked at rentacoder type sites, but the bids on there appear from the outset to be quite horrendous.Are they as bad as I'm making them out to be? Do others do work on these sites? If so, what sites can you recommend, and can you share some figures?I'm a web...

6 million songs...until you lock the phone or exit the app, deeming it almost useless. So that sucks.
