I know tailwind is the star these days, but as a back-end dev, nothing comes close to bootstrap in terms of productivity and aesthetics. I've used tailwind and I like it - I've even paid for tailwind UI - but for crud apps that don't require a lot of custom styling, bootstrap is still my default.
Anyone else still using and enjoying bootstrap for new projects?
Pleasantly surprised to see this on HN. In the minefield of the spiritual marketplace, where you can never be sure which teachers are authentic and which aren't, Michael James is worth a look. Sometimes a little dry and repetitive, but steadfast in his message and his adoration for his teacher.

How do you define regular? I use both Ruby and JS almost daily, and have previously used Java and python for several years. I find ruby a joy to use and have no issues with 'familiarity'
This site seems to me an imitation of sitebuilderreport which was featured on indiehackers recently [1]. The design and copywriting are similar. OP, was your site inspired by sitebuilderreport or are you connected with that site?
catchy name, and well done on getting .com, but if you search for "specret" in google, it autocorrects to "spectre" and shows results for the Bond movie.
I find it interesting that the comments in this thread still largely support Brian Hamacheck even though the response from Who's Here - if accurate - demonstrates that his original blog post is little more than a one sided publicity piece designed to gain sympathy for him and. to villify. Who's Here

Your design looks great. You mentioned that getmefast did it and I had a look at their portfolio which isn't as strong in my opinion as your design and UI. Did you UI designer have to change what they came up with?
I have virtually no design ability. Believe me I've tried and failed miserably. Over the years I've read a number of books and tutorials, I've tried to emulate styles and designs from sites I like, I've spent countless hours in photoshop and I've asked for input and feedback on public forums. Nothing seems to help. It takes me a disproportionate amount of time to complete a design task compared to anyone with even a basic proficiency.
When I see apps like this one and others for example, from rails rumble put together over the course of a few days I'm truly envious of people's design ability. I've lost count of the number of projects I've abandoned because of frustrations with the design.
I've finally just accepted that I was never cut out for design work, that I'm much happier and far more productive writing code. For the next project I start, I'll save enough money to hire a designer first.
Congrats on launching something, that first hurdle kills more startups than anything else.
As far as the product goes, I agree with the sentiment in the other comments - I don't see how this is any different to email? Perhaps you could have a feature matrix on your landing page comparing facebook, iddhis and email to show the similarities and differences
Now put a giant, 30 second video of the product being used, directly below "Design by hand.Code by agent."
No one is clicking Get Started or Buy Now until they know what the product is, and a 30 second video is 100x better than any amount of text.
