Good job. The UI looks really nice. The ability to upload it to lots of different endpoints allows for so much flexibility.

I've just uploaded a Jekyll site, but it failed, the error message could have been more descriptive.


Thanks for the feedback. We are working on making our error messages better.


I think the problem lies with the expectation that people will just pick up how to use git and how it works.

Wouldn't it be better to provide small classes to people where understanding can be gained, rather than abstract how to use Git with a different client?


I love this idea, but it feels like lots of the other improvements to the Email system. SPF was introduced in 2003, DomainKeys in 2007, DKIM in 2008, DMARC 2011; all of these things rely on DNS which for some reason makes it hard to implement. DNSSEC most recently has been gaining traction, but languishes at 12% [1]. These things are hard to implement from an operations point of view for existing systems, but many of the domain names out there are not owned by people with an operations team and do not understand how they could reduce their Spam and increase their security.

In order for us to use something like DIME/DMTP we need to find a way to better integrate our DNS and Email infrastructure binding them together. If we can ensure that when a Domain name is registered it is mandatory to provide these additional DKIM/SPF/DIME records then we can make progress. But better still a way to keep these records up to date when we can providers.

I am in an almost identical situation myself and can empathise.

I came to the realisation that

* I no longer enjoy what I am doing * I'm not particularly happy * Going into the office is now a chore * I can't see a future where I am at the moment.

Once I realised all of these things - it took a few months - alarm bells started going off. I have now started to make steps to change my situation:

* Seen my Lawyer * Written and dispensed my resume * Spoken to friends about jobs.

I'm now much more comfortable, knowing that I can survive without the company and will probably be much better off without it.

I quite liked the following articles: http://westonmcbride.com/blog/2013/05/06/why-i-abandoned-my-... http://harj.posthaven.com/co-founder-breakups http://jamesmaskell.co.uk/2013/how-to-get-a-job-after-startu...


We really like Group Office, whilst it doesn't have the class of Gmail, or the search prowess it works really well for small teams.

If you are taking about using something like Sup then I think there is too much faff should you ever decide to migrate away from it. Whilst it looks and works great it is useless for interoperability with your phone etc..
