I assume not everyone using MySQL and BigQuery are using CloudSQL and so don’t have Datastream available to them.
Have you shared it on the Love2D forums yet?
Would it work well for a use case like say, debugging behavior on collision? Like say I fall through a platform, rewind, change a variable, play forwards, fall through, rewind again, etc?
This is literally going to ruin someones picnic.
Any chance of defining a custom selection key other than ctrl? On my Macbook air, holding the control key with my pinky or thumb while I type is really awkward. Shift would seem more natural, as the pinky finger is already used to using this as a modifier, no?
Are you just manually updating the page by hand when people add jobs? Kinda concierge style. I would actually respect that all the more.
People talk a big game on MVP, but it's cool to come across where someone actually gets it.
How did you get your initial inventory? Just manually sifting through HN posts? I think getting new and quality inventory will be the biggest challenge, that's harder than getting job seekers.
You've basically created a less crappy and niche focused indeed.com:
http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=&l=Remote
I'm not sure if indeed.com spiders automatically or what, but I'm guessing you could emulate their approach to getting job openings.
Another option is to try to actively partner with headhunters who often have a source of inventory you wouldn't normally see on job boards.
As for the UI, ignore the haters. The simplicity reminds me of Startupers (http://www.startupers.com/) which is doing just fine.
Two suggestions which I think would be really awesome.
!. The hard part of exercising though is getting your butt to the gym. What if you could sign up for a daily email that keeps you at it, challenging you to take it to the next level, tracks your progress, sets goals and reminds you to make them, etc.
2. It's really abstract to just hit key commands without seeing them actually do something. What if you made small animated gifs for each action your are emulating, maybe even with a full fake editor background? This way, your brain would be tricked further that you are actually performing the action represented by the keyboard shortcut.
To me, this is the difference between a good town for bootstrapping and a good town for creating a startup. As it stands, this article seems more like an argument for why Berlin is a great place to bootstrap a company. Which is also great, but different.
I thought long and hard about the "Should I learn Django or Turbogears" question 3 or four years ago, and went with Django. Back then, Django was not yet the "default" answer.
Platform is: Bootstrap, Django, Pinax. Hosting it on webfaction.
And if there are any bakers out there or you are interested, I highly recommend this book by authors here in Minneapolis:

They have a no-knead bread method that is appeals to the hacker mindset; heavily optimized and efficient.
