Are there any other cool non-enterprisy areas that you're looking to expand into?

Mission critical stuff like aircraft and SCADA systems could surely benefit from an automated testing process.


Hi there, Thanks for the comment! SCADA is a rarer use case but one that we are working towards.


If you're in Australia Vinspi.com.au are an online tailored/bespoke suit shop.

You provide the measurements and build a suit design online. 2 week turnaround.

They only ship to Australia at the moment and suits themselves are made in Bangkok.


I used FlightFox for Melbourne to San Fran flights for a large group.

Saved several thousand dollars.

It's worth checking out, especially if you have a complex itinerary where the flight algorithms actually know less than the flight experts.


I like that I can watch as people arrive.

Nice to see a real time view rather than call people to find out how far off they are.

Would be awesome to see a large number of people descend on a big party or similar.


Setkick.com

Online pre-production for film and television. Helping to schedule shooting and communicate with cast and crew.

We are in private testing right now.

I'm a co-founder and happy to talk about anything. Thanks.


I'm also working on Eastwood.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Excellent points to add to our big list of planned features. Quite a few in there we had never thought of. We are still trying to go down the path of minimum viable product right now, unfortunately that MVP has grown and grown as we have learned about the industry.

We have a guy on board (Matt Drake) who has worked extensively within the film industry directing and acting and who really opened up our eyes in terms of what the industry actually needs. Our original product would have fallen very short of being useful to anyone making a real film.

_Platform agnosticism_ The product is entirely web based. I think the landing page needs to emphasise this more as all the Apple stuff makes it seem like it's an Apple only thing. Down the track we will look into making native clients for iPhone/iPad and Android. But the product will always be a "cloud" thing.

In regards to the name, we have been speaking internally about this and are split over whether or not to change the name. Appreciate the advice, any lawyers out there who want to chime in, any extra information would be welcomed.


I recently came across a different approach to to the same problem.

http://www.coinhandle.com You give it a name and your bit coin receiving address. Then you can query it for the address associated with that name.

It has some sort of API, would be much more useful if this was integrated with the official bit coin client though.
