I recently built and released a HTML5 and SVG based mockup/prototype/wireframe editor. You can check it out at (http://www.mocktailsapp.in).

This could be an extremely interesting legal argument, but I suppose the language used requires a request in 'writing' of some sort, which I suppose HTTP requests would fail.

They already do this for a large portion of Prime deliveries in India. Don't see why they wouldn't expand it to other countries.

Razorpay has been such a terrible experience for me as a consumer, that I'd actively avoid using it as my payment processor.

I know at least 3 scam operations having their payments processed through razorpay, and these are proper scams selling non existent products. So far all my complaint emails to razorpay have gone unanswered.

Have the entire world change their implementation rather than the one company which is doing it wrong?

This is not how RFCs work. There's a reason RFCs came about, and it was to prevent this exact type of situation. Just because a company has a large market share, doesn't mean RFCs should be changed to suit it.

Because if they didn't pretend that it was the same to fly a 737 and a 737 max, then they would be required to have pilots get a separate type certification for the max, which is costly for airlines and makes the airlines very reluctant to order the max.

Try loading it with Firefox in extensions disabled mode. The last time I had an issue with Firefox and YouTube, it was due to an extension.

Wow, $1 for 100 emails is very very very very expensive. So expensive that I'd opt to build this in house rather and take on the costs associated with it and still come out saving money.

It's a pretty solid idea otherwise.

Could YC pro-actively get in touch with the folks already working on the project? Sounds like they would be your best bet at success.

Actually a lot of email addresses cannot be validated this way since most ESPs including gmail have adopted an 'accept-all' approach to incoming email. So getting the email accepted by the server is no indication that the address exists, or that the email will actually be delivered to that address even if it exists.

I've created a new issue (https://github.com/asleepysamurai/socketwrench/issues/2) to track this. If it get's enough votes from other users, I'll add it.

One of the suggestions that came up more often from people who tried out Socket Wrench was the ability to connect to Socketio servers. However supporting socketio namespaces complicated the UX, so I decided to wait till I got a lot more people asking for SocketIO support to implement it.

It's not open source. I want to keep any possibility of future monetization open for now.

Do PWAs allow you to do things like modify application menus, access the file system etc?
