Unable to deploy with Elastic Beanstalk currently. Internal 500 error. They put up the Blue Diamond icon, so this must be serious.

The ease of use is a wonderful improvement, but working with any locally mounted volumes makes it completely unusable.

VENTUREAPP | Boston, MA - Full-time ONSITE | Front-End Engineer (AngularJS)
VENTUREAPP is a private network that connects startups with the people and solutions that can help their business succeed. We're building an intelligent platform that helps solve the common and not-so-common issues that startups encounter day to day.
We're looking for an experienced front-end engineer to join our fast-moving and accountable product team. You'll be one of the first 10 team members and play a critical role in our success. We have two primary products now: A user-facing web app, and an internal control center, code named "Houston". We're launching a mobile app in the coming months.
Responsibilities include: owning the front-end codebase, building efficient and reusable front-end systems, participating in user experience and code reviews, and addressing front-end performance bottlenecks.
More details on the position here: https://angel.co/ventureapp/jobs/87363-angular-developer
Feel free to reach out directly to me (jared -at- ventureapp.com) with any inquiries.

That was an opportunistic buy. I was using one of those short domain tools and came across it. No current plans.

These are the better ones I have. Mostly acquired for different startup ideas I'm riffing on.
- read.io
- tit.io
- fix.io
- foodcopter.com (for when drones deliver your dinner of course)
- burgercopter.com (same reason)
- pizzacopter.com (same reason)
I've developed a simple tool for parking unused domains. Just set your nameservers and the whole inquiry process is automated. Would love feedback! http://parktap.com/

Depending on what you are building, yes. This can save a developer a good portion of a day between the code, file storage and CDN.

Awesome! One line about that should do the trick.
Is the only way to "join" via Heroku? Or is there another place I can create an account?

Looks great. I see mention of limits, but there is no pricing page. It's hard to adopt a service if I have no idea what it will cost me.
I have used Embed.ly's similar service in the past. There is a sizable free tier (25,000 images) and it works more or less the same. http://embed.ly/display

If you have coding experience it should be very easy. Most charts will simply need data in JSON format passed to them. Personally I use Keen.io for storing and querying analytics data. You can get a live URL of an query that can be directly connected to your code. They also have a dashboard template to get you started.

I'm intrigued by this. The author states that they work primarily with "idea stage" e-commerce businesses. I can't think of a more perfect scenario for using bootstrap - building MVPs and validating the ideas. If I were him I would have my in-house developers master bootstrap, resulting in a higher output for the incubated non-technical teams.
Perhaps Bootstrap isn't a good fit for their team (there are many UI frameworks), but if you're developing each of your MVPs from scratch, I'd have to argue that your idea-to-business engine is running inefficiently.
Additionally, the out of box cross browser support that you get from Bootstrap will be a big help in ensuring conversion on an e-commerce site, without spending heavily in testing.

Congrats on shipping. I wanted to do something simple like this. I bought a domain for it, Radiyum.com (Radius + Food), but ended up shelving the idea for some of the reasons other folks have brought up. There's only so much time in the day!
Good luck with the app. Looks well designed.

Looks cool. Only issue I had was the graph size.

The DOD gives this shit away (to our rural towns and cities) so they can consider it in use and order more from contractors, which gives more cash to the lobbyists and contractors. Rinse and repeat. It's very straightforward.

I've experienced the same bugs. Also using underscores, or asterisk breaks everything silently. No error or attempt to tell you not to do it.
