I’m hoping to start work on Prizify, and I’m looking for feedback on the idea and a cool developer to work with, btw.
I know it’s common practice. But I thought it was a little funny they say it can last for 37 years yet offer a 2 year warranty.
Looks great, though!
The check email thing can work for the major email providers, I’m guessing but certainly not all like the writer suggested. Secondly, a user might not want to go to webmail when the Mail app on their computer will do.
However, I think there is something in replacing a 'Forgot Password' link to the Forgot Password page from the Sign In page to a 'Reset password’ link. Get rid of the Forgot Password page and just fire off an email to the address they have already typed in (or the email address linked to the username they typed in).
I enjoy:
This was the subject of a DN post 2 weeks ago, with tons of good-looking pods on that I look forward to checking out eventually.
I think this argument comes down to classic goods vs. services.
I believe we pay subscriptions to a lot of things as we can never really own them as they are services as opposed to goods.
With the above Bentley argument, we can all understand a car is a good you can own so paying once to own it is reasonable, but you'll still be paying monthly forever for insurance which is a service.
All the products you've mentioned are web services that have to be maintained by a team and has to have an infrastructure to deliver that maintenance all of which needs to be continually supported.
Does this account for why everything is sub-based nowadays when the model was used much less for the same services before (eg. Adobe Creative Suite)? No. Apart from they probably included the cost of support into the purchase price back then but have realised that's not the most sensible model today.
Currently I'm using a pic of my neighbourhood. Brixton in London. It has a bad reputation so this reminds me how awesome it can be, sometimes.
Couldn't of summed it up better. Currently working a little thing called Failbooth that is an attempt to change things a little in this area, by taking a snapshot of people's misses showing that this is human and hopefully getting people to offer useful advice and as well as practical help.
Been running it on my personal MBA but not my main Mac. I find it has Wifi connection issues, it takes longer to connect when awoken from sleep and sometimes drops after it finally connects. But apart from that runs pretty smooth in all other places as far as I can see.

I’ve found myself listening to a lot of Little People recently. Mainly I listen to smooth jazz and hip-hop instrumentals.
