Mobile email pain point: Not able to open and read attachments that are only designed for desktops (e.g. word,pdf docs look horrible and difficult to scroll through in mobile)
Have you actually built all the sites you mentioned on the page ? The designs look great to me. Very clean.
I think it is just about right for the content. Anything more will make it too much.
I personally designed all the sites. Some required markup others required just a .psd delivery. Depends on the client. Thanks for the kind words as well!
Good point. But the idea is not to suggest an exact match but recommendations based on the user's preference/inputs. It could be different for everyone of course.
Before I write my advice, I want you to hear this. "Do not worry about the fact that you are not finishing your side projects. The idea is to learn and not necessarily get to the end goal i.e a working app". I am usually in same boat as you but many of my unfinished side projects have taught me tremendously. For example, I recently worked on a python program to covert financial trasactions in OFX format to csv. It taught me how to use lists, dictionaries in python, file input/output etc. I never finished it actually to the point where my dream was to release it as open source library and I even have a git page for it but I moved on. Even then, I learnt a heck of a lot.
"Start Small". But what does that mean really ? It means that focus on a specific topic and give yourself a task/side project out of it. For example, "Build a user registration system". Now pick the language/framework etc. You seem to be using Python/Django already so that could work in your case.
Keep hacking even if not finished. "It is about the journey not the destination" (cheap attempt at using a favorite quote).
Always happy to see Flask related stuff on HN front page :). Being a novice python wannabe, I am still struggling with thread locals but more than happy to keep working with Flask. Reading the source code is fun.
Perhaps. But they certainly do not have the restrictions of financial audit requirements and things like Dodd Frank etc. which is overwhelming all the major banks right now and is a big way to earn money for consultants if they know ABC of audit/compliance in 2012. Anyway, the point is that fb even though not ideal in how they store/use user data (which I personally am not a fan of as well), it does not matter as much as it matters to a bank/financial institution. I say this while I work for clients that are major banks.
