I have been using metricfire on some test stuff and I have to say I am impressed. Any plans to having iOS sdk/support?
Google Analytics does a very good job of measuring events and not using tons of resources, but then again it is hard to get real time dashboards with > 1M events/day in GA
Edit - I had already asked this, but also Google App Engine support? Cheer and keep making an awesome product guys!
So the idea is that people fork the project, send pull request and then get them approved to add songs? I am pretty sure that we have the whole html form to database dance figured out already...
We started working on this idea on Friday Night, and its been an awesome experience!
We appreciate any feedback about the site, the idea and our pitch deck ( http://www.slideshare.net/DFectuoso1/shoutatweet2 ).
We are presenting at 6:30ish, so any feedback is awesome!
Wow, just Wow. Thanks HN for all the input! Thank you very much!
The debate contained in this post is extremely interesting and there is a lot to learn about the different point of views about language barriers, culture and communities!
I guess I decided to work on this when I learned that a lot of my fellow latin american hackers read HN every day but rarely participate or post new links. Felling that having a place to share new projects and interesting notes in my own language would be cool I decided to start this a couple of weeks ago.
The code is open source and hosted here: https://github.com/DFectuoso/Noticias-HAcker mostly in english! I think that will add a lot to the conversation: I am not saying don't learn english, just trying to generate a community where people feel confident because they are talking in their own language.
Hopefully this will motivate more and more people to share and talk about awesome stuff!
Well, the latest version of HN I could find was a couple of years old and even tho I know a little bit of lisp, I didn't feel I could maintain/adapt the arc code that runs this beautiful website.
I decided to start from scratch and do it in python for the app engine, it was hard to get it to run smoothly(and I will still optimize some more to try to batch the RCPs for memcache and db).
Those features that you mentions will come in the next couple of weeks, right now I am going to concentrate on having some moderation tools and then i'll finish the profile and password recovery.
This is pretty much my routine, except I have an extra step: While I am working on that thing, if I find a really important thing that needs to be taken care of, I write it down as the next task.
That way if anyone interrupts me or if I find a important refactoring or think of something important I get to remember it (and do it) without being distracted at that moment.
