Security Onion intrigued me a couple years back when I heard about it. I think it was on the Linux Action Show.

I have been using Alien Vault OSSIM (https://www.alienvault.com) for a few years and haven't seen any reason to switch. But this does look like a great project still.

Yeah, everyone loves to hate on and make fun of MySpace, but they aren't doing bad at all. They just aren't the poster child of startups anymore. Facebook got bigger and everyone claimed MySpace was dead. Look who is still making profit?

Thanks! I am a developer, not a writer so I am the greatest at this. I should have had our writers do the copy. :)

Thanks for the advice! I am new here so I wasn't sure if this was good for a Show HN or not.

Fixed the call to action so it now shows you are supposed to scroll down.

Changed the call to action as well. Thanks for that. It does sound a lot better. :)

We do have thousands of authors, but I am not sure how to show evidence of that. I will remove it and just keep the testimonials of the 3 authors/publishers on the page.

I know charging for pre-launch is tough, but the grid succeeded so we were trying to do the same to see if we could manage it. We would rather not need a investment.

The publishing functionality is already built in. We take the stories that are written on our website and convert them to ePub, PDF, HTML, and Mobi automatically. This gets hosted on a special page and allows for the author to sell the book right there. No hassle. I suppose we could hold off the feature, but it feels like that's why most people would buy in. We do have an author & publisher on board as consultants.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely start working on building the community we can always add our features in as we get users instead of launching with them all in.

Thanks for reminding me to fix that! I just tweaked it so it tells you to enabled java-script in order to use the site now. I will come up with a proper fix later so it works without JS being needed at all.

I agree with on spoiler tags, I wasn't going to push it publicly at all, but my friend said there may be demand for sites that don't have a spoiler tag like facebook. He kind of insisted on pushing it out so we will see what happens.

thanks for taking a look :)

Me and a couple friends do random programming challenges once a month. Last month we had to build an app in 30 minutes or less based on a randomly picked subject.

I got entertainment as the subject and decided to build a pastebin-like website for spoilers.

The idea is to enable users to be able share spoilers easily without the worry of someone accidentally clicking on the link. If you do accidentally click on a link, don't worry as you won't see the spoiler until you say "show me the spoiler".

I am not sure if there is any demand for this at all, but my friend suggested I put it online as it may be useful to others.

Let me know what you think, I know its super simple right now but if there is demand I can add more features.

I have been working on an alternative streaming service that uses the Subscriber Share method. We are mostly targeting independent musicians, youtube musicians, and anyone without a label. I feel label are dead weight these days and just eat up a large piece of the pie for hardly any work.

My goal is to cut them out starting with independent artist of today, and maybe in a few years more artist will relies you don't need a label to get popular any more and can do it on your own.
