We just launched our API and would love your thoughts. Last week we launched Picnic.sh (PH thread http://www.producthunt.com/posts/picnic) to try and make it a lot easier and cheaper to set up one-page domain names.
Today we are opening up our API beta. We're hoping people will find a lot of use for this for things like resumes, about pages, app landing pages, etc ...
This doesn't take into consideration the time to bring someone up to speed and their productivity hit from that. There is also cost and slowdown from the company's perspective to bring someone new up to speed (it usually will slow down others involved too).
You should just be sure you need and want to hire someone before they show up for their first day.
I literally just tried to sign up for this as a gift for someone this past weekend.
I tried to buy a year gift subscription and got an error message. It showed me a silly error message which included Ryan Gosling promising a foot massage for me to keep my calm. I mistakingly tried 2 more times and now see 3 charges on my credit card.
For what it’s worth, they use Stripe. I saw the $1 pending transaction they tried. Hopefully Stripe can shut them down.
I did this on Saturday and will give WhimseyBox the benefit of the doubt to fix this by Mon/Tues before disputing with Amex. It's always a slow road when Amex investigates.
Very cool idea. Had similar idea recently; Product GPS. Find what store closest to you has X in stock, who has best price and where can I find it in this huge store (walmart, target, macy, etc).
The app can use any bar code as the identifier. You can scan a stickybit-generated bar code, a QR code, or a random UPC code from the back of a product in a store.
To ensure the same type of experience across browsers, we decided to make much of the top images. Most people still use IE, and we didn't want gross rendered text.
