Yeah, I agree with the bigger enterprise clients. Sometimes it's hard to have a free version of software you're selling to these types of customers.

My point on the free plan is more like a trial where you get limited use, not giving away the entire thing for free. In interviewer.io's case I also want to be able to help smaller startups who might not be able to yet afford a paid plan at least use the product for the stage they are at.

Thoughts? Any other reason to have or not have a free plan?

Thanks. Yeah, I like Slim as well but most of the projects I work on are using Haml at this point.

Thanks!

Hmm, I'm using Menlo which is monospaced correct? Oh, are you on a PC? Maybe that just comes on a Mac. I created an issue and will look into it. Thanks!

There were a couple other conversion sites out there but I wanted to create one with a little nicer UI and make it open source so anyone can contribute. https://github.com/interviewer-io/haml.io

I wrote a little post on how we're doing A/B testing at Revaluate.

Yeah, some of the data comes from that site but we have a lot that actually isn't available anywhere online.

Agreed on the pricing. We're still trying to dial that in. I think a single 30 or 90 day access makes sense and then possibly a monthly subscription for real estate agents that want to provide reports to their clients.

Ah, very good point. Never really considered that. We'll definitely discuss how we can make that more clear. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I actually did notice that issue you mentioned on an iPad this morning (adding a new link to the top yesterday broke it).

In terms of the data collection, currently it's a mix of manual and automated. We're pushing to get is all automated so it'll be easier to maintain and expand.

Cool, I'll check out the sorting issue some more.

That's great feedback as well. We'd debated whether we needed to put a heading above the celebrity carousel and decided to leave it out. I guess we might want to add that in.

Totally agree that the meat of it is down in those datatables. One of our top priorities is to figure out a way to better visualize that. It'll also make the page load much quicker since all that raw data is a lot of HTML to render and send across the wire.

We're still trying to figure out pricing and at this point just want people to use it for free so we can get feedback and iterate and improve before we think about charging. Thanks again for the great feedback.

Thanks so much for the feedback. The loading is still something we're trying to improve. It's pulling in a large amount of data that takes a bit of time. I think we'll end up doing a nightly roll-up of that data to help improve page load times.

I'll take a look at the chronological sorting issue. From a first glance it is working for me but it could be something else going on. Thanks again for the feedback.

That's a fair question. A lot of the data comes from complaints and reports filed through local government agencies. We try to be very objective with the data and present it to the consumer so they can judge for themselves.

We have also talked about the idea of allowing building owners to comment or make a request to prove that issues in a building have been fixed. Though that would be a little ways down the road.

We just launched our new startup this morning. Huge thanks to the HN community for advice and feedback. It's been a great journey so far. Any new feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, that's a pretty cool idea. I'll definitely play around with it a bit more tomorrow.

Yeah, I think that will be an interesting followup post.

Haha, I know, right?? What's your current project? I love checking out what people are passionate about.

Fair point. I'm actually not a big fan of the automatic sliding either. I just didn't think to take it off. I'll definitely do that now.
