We hear you for sure on these points. Audio is the top of the priority list for polish we need to add to all of Cityposh. Thanks for checking it out, and helping us with this.
comment
Awesome suggestions. Thank you so much for these.
comment
Yeah, that's a very interesting idea. Thanks for that. We'll chew on something like that for sure.
comment
Agreed. I had the same kind of thing happen, and felt the same way. Thanks for bringing that up.
comment
Right, understood. But that is also a big point of what we are doing with Cityposh. It's a promotional tool for businesses after all. So traffic back to their website is very much desired by companies…

Thanks misuse! We are debating text over here. Text would make it easier to bot I think. Please don't bot this fellow HNers just because I mentioned this! :) Please! So a way to fix the bot problem he…

Awesome thanks! Oh IActionable.com is very interesting. Gamifying Salesforce sounds like a great idea! I'll check this out too.

It's not perfect yet, but it is fun if you like price is right style games :) I'll probably be deploying a bug fix right after this comment, but thought you guys would dig seeing an alternative use of…

Thanks for the feedback and I know a bit where you are coming from. It's something that is on our minds constantly with this. When we looked at contests on Facebook and Twitter now, almost all of them…

Ah, yes, weighted raffles. We'd love to have weighted raffles. We were fooling with that awhile ago, but there's a sticky legal point. The whole no purchase necessary clause. If we had weighted raffle…
comment
Ah, I'll mention this could be cleared up. It's the top 3 people get the 1/2/3 prizes mentioned. The raffle is run amongst everyone who plays at all. So even if you just tweet or like the thing, or ta…

I'll let them know about that. Thanks for the feedback.

Bah, that's annoying! :) Thanks for the report. We'll look into getting that fixed soon.

Ah, thanks for letting us know. Will work on better ssl support.

I read in Esquire or Wired or somewhere (I'm having trouble finding the source online) that smells change our perception of time. Baby powder slows down time for us. Coffee beans speed it up. Perhaps …
comment
Not sure, but I know for myself it's because of node.js and a need for a better realtime app. I couldn't have told you what Chunked Encoding was before a couple weeks ago when I started fooling with n…
comment
I just set up a node.js app recently because it does chunking by default. I noticed Chrome didn't want to render the early chunks. I believe some folks mention that some browsers will only render the …

I guess I don't understand the "scam" label. I haven't completely analyzed Swoopo's marketing, but I think the majority of people that play realize they are trying to get something big for something l…

I was doing some load testing on a new project of ours and noticed that I couldn't break 50-60 reqs per second sending all the requests through stunnel-haproxy or apache-haproxy to a cluster of app se…

Another thing that I've been using to punch out mvp type projects fast is this for the UI: http://www.designinfluences.com/fluid960gs/ A grid system is awesome to begin with to help with laying stuf…

Ha, I love that part about it though. Maybe making the 10 million is already predestined in his head. The hard part now is figuring out how to spend it. Probably something Napoleon Hill would be proud…
