We've been struggling with metrics for awhile now. We're hitting all the "enterprise" plans with our sessions + mau, and just can't afford it. Seems silly to build and maintain our own metrics, so glad we finally have Amplitude for all our needs.

The dashboard api is amazing. We only need a few simple numbers, and the API works fantastic.

Thinks like custom dashboards are cool, but we're able to just grab the numbers onto our own that we have melded with other services as well.

Thanks for the kind words! Hearing that makes me really glad that we decided to invest in making a solid API so people could roll their own dashboards.

Just a bad guideline worded badly. I'd say this is far from the core value of what the service provides. I'd rather just hear:

"Quality products are guaranteed because of our extensive experience and knowledge of making these projects work with many dynamic circumstances." Ambiguous, sure, but that should be a good thing. Let's hear that they're constantly evolving and working around new challenges, and applying experience and learning from all the data points they have to tackle existing / mundane issues. The core should be just that.

I agree with your message, but that quote could be applied to any company ever. Case studies would be more useful.

Very interesting! As an avid photographer and advisor to a stock photo company, this is a great concept.

Where are you sourcing the photos from? And what do you believe your target audience would be?

Getting emails from CreativeMarket, for example, is not only a source of inspiration every day but also makes me think about redesigning the blog for the site, or maybe even swapping out icons or fonts.

I don't pay for the newsletter, but I can pay for the creative assets if I'm interested.

Have you thought of sending just teasers for free on a regular basis? Then if the user wants the photos they can pay the fee? I'd use it if it was like that.

Thanks for the feedback kineticac If you scroll to the bottom of http://weeklysnaps.com/ you'll see some of our sources (little visuals, unsplash, pixabay, new old stock, etc) That's a great idea around sending just teasers and then creating a marketplace if the receiver is interested in the photo. Will add it to our list :)

Black text on orange was never great, so I'm with you on the white text in the header.

Overall, way too much orange going on. Y Meter is a good concept, but I think it detracts from the title of the post too much (being orange and all).

Are you going to do more versions?

Google Reader is perfect. Need implementation for Google+ pretty soon too...

this is really cool! after mentoring with the BUILD.org organizatin, I can only say good things about programs like these. I'd love to help but will be out of town that week! Keep up the great work.

Maybe I'm just really optimistic? =)

best answer yet ;)

Ooh thanks for posting this so fast! I actually didn't know the techcrunch article was out until I saw it here haha.

Is this primarily a talent acquisition?

Yes, primarily for the team and our expertise in sports and mobile. However, there are some pieces we built for Fanvibe that we can apply to beRecruited - but not much on the user-facing side.

Can be done with javascript, comet and message queues in the backend, and only allows browser sharing. Joepestro and I did this a few years ago with pure js. worked even on mobile safari.
