I think it's neat. There's lots of negative feedback on here, which I would encourage you not to get down about. As always on the net, folks are probably far more likely to leave a message if they have some objection or disagree with some aspect, rather than if they just plain like it.

So yeah, I like it.

Let's Blue and Pink all the things!

These are great photos. But I confess I'm growing tired of this neon miami vice-ification.

Earth.nullschool is the original one.

Playing with the idea of a static site generator for the masses, instead of the multitudes of CLI solutions out there. Something to point at a folder of maybe 5 markdown files, and generate a site for personal or small business use. (not a blog)

I hate that friends who need a website have to opt for overkill solutions like Wordpress, or a $10 subscription service, just to get a 4-page site on the web...

I sometimes use "inurl:wordpress" when searching for travel info. This ensures more first-person blog accounts, rather than all the tripadvisor junk that's at the top.

This is super cool. I was always a fan of Expose (https://github.com/Jack000/Expose) because of accessibility to beginners like me, and few dependencies. Pandoc is similar, but powerful, and I like that this leans on that. With a custom template this could be really neat.

Yeah. I live in Tokyo and so my kid needs some English inputs. This is one effort to try to put that together.

It's tough. I've been thinking about this a lot over the years, especially with respect to youtube content -- which is really hit-and-miss to say the least. I'm trying to curate channels I think are ok on www.fugu.tv, and welcome any input.

Good to see you ship to Canada too. I'm in Japan where Mixi has a service called [Nohana](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19966877) that's similar (but an app), but looking forward to checking yours out, maybe with the help of my brothers back home. Nice work!

You might try a "free shipping" coupon code (instead of 10% off), as it helps a customer overcome some of the anxiety of ordering a box of something all the way "from Japan".
