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.
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/
Yep that's exactly why we built it. To be honest it's not overly complex to build yourself, but taking the time to get it right, setting up the CDN, and maintaining background workers can be pretty expensive when you factor in developer hours.
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!
