Thanks for bringing this up. We did not anticipate users with Javascript switched off. Even though the site will not be funtional without JS, we certainly can show a message.

Like most of you here, we too are a bit of early adopters and always on a lookout for the latest products and services. So we created a platform which lets early adopters discover new startups, join them early and get exclusive rewards. And after the saying "early bird gets the worm" we named it "Get Worm"

We've hit around 400 startups and 2000 users so far, and would love to hear feedback from the HN community on how can we make this platform better. What do you think?

Hey Everyone, FEEDBACKdeck is a side project I'm working on while building my bootstrapped startup — Clustrr. I needed a tool to capture user feedback and short pop-up surveys seemed an excellent choice. I scoured the Internet for a service that would fit my needs. But most services meant shelling out $200 - $350 a year for the most basic plan (read limited plan). I feel that short survey tools can be decentralised and self-hosted. To me there appears no benefit of running them from a cloud infrastructure. This translates to huge savings.

The plugin can be used on any self-hosted WordPress site. Startups can use the plugin on their coming soon/launch pages months before the actual product launch and start gaining valuable user feedback. Blogs can benefit from gaining feedback on publications from it's readers.

I had a hard time writing the sales page copy. Would love to have your opinion on the copy, design and the product itself.

I guess this guy does not understand what sandboxing is and the benefit it brings in terms of security. Android today has 79% of malware issues and IOS is at 0.7% — thanks to policies like sandboxing.

I have not seen the movie yet. Seems like a good watch. In this video I like part at 2:56 where a lady comforts the other saying "There, there. That's not true. Google+ has fans and it's quite nice." in reaction to Hilter's comment — "If Google+ was shut down today no one would care."

Looks cool. It would be helpful for those not using Panic Coda. Coda has an in-built support for a similar functionality.

Looks pretty neat. Reminds me of a similar app for iOS http://thinklegend.com/commit/

Just came across this on Twitter. Thought of sharing as those interested could apply.

I also stick to using Pocket. The best part is the tagging feature. Whenever, I add something to Pocket, I ensure to tag it. Later when I need to find something, I can simply lookup the tag instead of finding a needle in the haystack.

That's an ubercool landing page and app interface you've got there. However, I personally felt that nothing on the homepage made me trust SumAll "instantaneously". It was only when I scrolled to the footer of the page, I saw Truste, Digicert certifications mentioned in the footer in small font size.

Though you have some testimonials in there, those never help build an outright trust. I need to be able to trust the SumAll brand before I can start integrating my third party accounts. The accounts are crucial to my business. Some that even have a financial implication.

I would strongly recommend putting a prominent message on the homepage that can help me build the trust in an instant. This would also help you achieve a better conversion rate.

Unless you are hiring a developer for a critical banking software or something similar, you should never base your interviews on Math. Rather, interviews should be based on the problem solving attitude of the candidate. I'd prefer a candidate who can come up with an innovative and cheaper solution to the problem at hand than a person who is better at Math. Though that person would also need to be good at the programming skill that he/she is being hired for.

I guess for startup founders it's really all work and no play. At-least that's what happens to me. Most of my time is consumed towards work. Getting time for other stuffs is a luxury. I'd love to hear from other startup founders who are able to achieve a balance between work and play. What's their secret?
