It's kind of interesting how long it takes status.heroku.com to update - based on our experience and response on twitter, it was about 10 minutes.


same here, between 10 and 15 minutes before the incident report


SEEKING FREELANCERS - (SF or Remote)

We're Gustin, a premium crowdsourced menswear brand. Looking to bring on another full stack rails engineer for a consistent 10 hours/week of feature development on our platform.

Design / UX / analytics experience a plus. We'd prefer to pay more for an experienced engineer who will do things right the first time.

Email us at team@weargustin.com to chat.

FYI, emails to team@weargustin.com are getting rejected by Google Groups, or at least mine was. :-)


Just sent you an email. Looking forward to hearing from you!


I've been in the beta trial of this, and it works pretty well.

A few thoughts: 1) It would be really great if I could schedule when the pagesnaps were taken 2) It'd be nice to be able to take snaps of only one div 3) Would be very cool if there was a URL that always had the most recent snap


Funny thing - FADC (one of Dustin's groups seen in the screenshot) is getting a ton of requests today.


I launched a company once on April 1. Realized the date after we'd announced to everyone. We were worried about it impacting launch (is this a joke?), but all was good.


Apple was founded on April 1st, 1976


April 1 is not celebrated everywhere in the world.

I learned that April 1 jokes on the internet are often taken the wrong way even when there are ample reasons to realize it is a joke.

I don't think many people are worried about the 5% Kickstarter cut. Jon and Marshal were probably more interested in having users signed up with their service (which kickstarter wouldn't guarantee)


It depends what country you're in and there's also the credit card processing % fee.


Continuously! We make men's clothing (jeans, shirts, etc.,) - the team always wears our own clothing to test and just do life in general. http://www.weargustin.com


We're excited to work with you Josh!


You can put a cap on it by limiting the # of backers for any given reward level (this is what we did), but most of the big campaigns screw themselves by letting it overrun


What was your product?



These jeans look awesome. Well done.


Thanks! It's been a wild ride this year


Congrats! We are prepping for our KS early next year and been dissecting successful campaigns including Gustin's. Really like your video.
