Re:Ask HN: What to do after $8M (all cash, post tax) exit? on Friday December 07, 2018 @11:25AM (#18628968)
Invest:

- some in crypto

- some in a few angel rounds

- put some aside as the stock market will crash and you'll be able to buy most stuff at 80% (or more) discount

Re:Ask HN: How did you find your great side project idea? on Friday August 11, 2017 @08:48PM (#14995656)
Solve your own problem. If you have no problems it means you don't experience enough about life. Travel more, invest in new experience and learn.

Write down those problems and apply a design thinking process, so you don't invest time in them if they aren't worth it. :)

Re:Ask HN: Is Anyone Living “The 4-Hour Work Week”? on Friday August 11, 2017 @05:11PM (#14994307)
Yes, but it's about 6 hours.
It happens for us as well, it started this week. Lots of users complaining.

Over the past few months we worked on a simple web tool that allows anyone to create visual interactives on the spot.

We did, but on a much smaller scale: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/erotic-fan-fiction-value...

Useful to tell better stories and retain readers, these widgets are also a great engagement boost. :-)

Indeed, it does. The widgets are completely responsive as you can see here: https://www.facebook.com/widgetic/videos/vb.311160592370762/...

For those that prefer to embed a specific one in unspecific ways, we provide an API for that http://docs.widgetic.com/#building-a-custom-editor. But it's only for developers.

We decided to reveal the new Widgetic interface and branding in our first WordPress plugin. We look forward to any feedback, good or bad, that would help us improve the product.
We've taken a good look at the product, lovely interface and ux! Easy to use on a desktop.

I have a question about mobile. What is your plan for devices regarding the Editor itself? Do you plan to go native?

It's fine, we've done a change so that it works. ;)
Re:Broadsheet: Create Stylish Immersive Pages on Friday October 24, 2014 @05:19AM (#8502818)
Is there a way you can send the referrer to the iframe in edit mode?
Re:Broadsheet: Create Stylish Immersive Pages on Friday October 24, 2014 @04:51AM (#8502741)
Hi. We're trying to test a widget embed in your site, but it seems the iframe is possibly being embedded in another iframe, when in the site editor mode. Which is strange, because when the page is published, it actually displays the widget: http://testandu.broadsheet.io/544a10fa5065790200338377

On our platform we're testing the referrer to make sure there's no unauthorised embeds, we cannot access it hence we cannot preview widget in the site editor mode.

We're rebranding as Widgetic. We're called Blogvio now (http://blogvio.com/).

So personally I've been focused on building the new identity and securing the domain name, Twitter username (had to purchase this one from an existing user), Facebook vanity URL, Google, Vimeo and all the other accounts we needed.

The icon we've been working on, although not final, should help users see two things depending on where they look from (front, sides) - I'd love to hear your guesses - what do you see?

Here's a more fine tuned / in progress version: http://o7.no/1hE7mOY

Once the rebranding is done we can finally release our API under the new name, so we don't break any integrations with our product.

David, great work on the new landing page!

I'd love to know what's your take on third party integrations with Weebly - are you guys working on an App Store or this is only doable through partnerships? If only partnerships, what's the best way reach out?

We're a platform offering customisable widgets, currently rebranding as Widgetic. I played with some widgets here: http://vuzum.weebly.com. Oana Calugar (at Weebly) has reached out to us a while ago and I agree with her, we do fit as a glove. :-)
