Ducksboard launched a new API and is giving away free subscriptions

We've just launched our new, three-headed API (part of which is an open WebSocket server) and we'd like to thank this community for the all the help, feedback and inspiration. Ducksboard launched as a Show HN and countless hours that should've been dedicated to developing the product went into browsing the site (until we discovered noprocrast, yay!) For the next 24 hours we're giving away free, full-featured plans to everyone with a HN account more than 10 days old, sign up at https://app.ducksboard.com/signup/hn/ These plans will always be free, but we can't promise we won't try to upsell…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

We've just launched our new, three-headed API (part of which is an open WebSocket server) and we'd like to thank this community for the all the help, feedback and inspiration. Ducksboard launched as a Show HN and countless hours that should've been dedicated to developing the product went into browsing the site (until we discovered noprocrast, yay!) For the next 24 hours we're giving away free, full-featured plans to everyone with a HN account more than 10 days old, sign up at https://app.ducksboard.com/signup/hn/ These plans will always be free, but we can't promise we won't try to upsell you along the way, or add juicy new features and put them in paid-only plans :) If you're curious about the API, the docs are at http://dev.ducksboard.com/ and there's a short blog post about it at http://blog.ducksboard.com/2012/04/introducing-the-ducksboard-api/ Thanks, HN!

    I asked an HN member for feedback and she blew my mind2010 · ▲453

    A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!

    Finally opening signup on my education for business startup, Learndot2013 · ▲55

    HN, I've been mostly lurking, semi-active on HN for over 4 years. For most of that time, I've been working on my startup, Learndot. I have always wanted to do a "Show HN" post, but I never thought it was ready. We've now finally launched web signup and using a freemium business model. I feel I can now post and offer something to the community (a new app to try out) and hopefully get good quality feedback. Here's the site: http://www.learndot.com Would appreciate any or all thoughts: From pricing/positioning, to design/performance. The app is written in Sproutcore and backed by an API written…

    My wife developed an Android app but she's too shy to post it on HN2014 · ▲61

    My wife (28) developed an app to make fun of people who make the "duck face" in pictures. Any advice for her? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckface.nua.app

    New OpenLoopz Landing Page Based on HN Feedback2015 · ▲28

    Hi everyone, This is the new landing page for OpenLoopz: https://openloopz.com/welcome It’s based on the excellent feedback I received from the original post. I know it’s far from perfect and there is still a lot of material I haven’t had time to add yet, but it’s a start. I plan to iterate and improve on this over time as I learn more about marketing and promotion. I hope it gets the message across about what OpenLoopz is and why you might want to use it! I will be adding more pages soon, such as testimonials, pricing info, FAQ, use cases, etc, and more detail in general.…

    soft-launching one of my pet projects2011 · ▲27

    So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)
