We do it via a one-line javascript snippet.

eg: <script src="//example.com/blah/widget.js?id=xxxxxx"></script>

widget.js is a server side script that creates the widget and echo's it out. Many ways of doing this and the easiest is a bunch of document.write()'s for the html

Cap Tables aren't usually private. I don't recommend advertising it on your website but, certainly, any new investors will need/want to see it before committing.

In my opinion, a Soft Developer is one who mainly just writes code. Whereas, a Soft Engineer is somebody who looks after the project end-to-end (requirements gathering, coming up with a solution and then coding it)

Wouldn't this mean setting up a VPN on the phone and having all traffic routed through mobileadblock.com's servers?

In this day and age of NSA, privacy and spying - not sure too many users will be up for that.

Why?

I am unsure if any such pre-built solutions exist but, we have created something similar for our app.

A user can setup an unlimited number of different API Keys for their account. For each API Key, we allow them to specify:

- Name/Description: For internal reference

- High Level Permissions:

Admin: (access to make any account updates).

Read-Only: (provide read-only access to the data).

Write Only: (allows for read & write operations).

- Low Level Permissions:

Access to various end-points that can be turned on/off.

- Throttling Options

Allow the user to specify Max Read Requests p/second and max write requests p/second

If HN isn't your target demographic, the answers here are going to be really skewed. Social signup is very much preferred (we have a number of iOS & Android apps targeting consumers) and social login makes up around 82%.

Suggestion: Get rid of the Hacker News reference in your header.

I think that most people who don't know about HN will run away when they see "Hacker" in the title. You are limiting your audience. If you must, it might be best to use Reddit instead. Or maybe rotate between the names of different websites that are similar.

Honestly, I would recommend focusing more on "Community" rather than the "We are the X for Y"

Looks like it's broken. I just randomly entered some information: http://imgur.com/ZWpC6rL

$110k yearly salary + $16k income from rent. Own a $500k house with no debt. Potential for a $1m exit and 5% annual increase in salary. $600 monthly expenses and with $11k in the bank.

"You will not be able to retire. Try decreasing expenses or increasing income.".

Am I missing something?

My startup provides email marketing services. This is something we have always wanted to add into our product. We have looked at other services such as Litmus but, have not yet decided on a direction.

Some questions for you:

1) Can I white label it?

2) Do you provide an API that allows me to send you the html and you push back the screenshots or a URL to a whitelabel page

3) Your pricing page doesn't mention this: I can signup to the Unlimited Plan and then offer this as a feature (paid or free) to my users

4) Rendering time?

5) Will you be returning actual screenshots OR are you using some CSS trickery to show me how it will render theoretically.
