Greetings,
Thanks! The bug description eased my concern about spamming this Andy person, since...well, the bug is because they don't have an email address in the system. :)

I figured the fix would be something like disallowing no-email users, but it does make my testing a little more difficult. I'll make do.

Thanks again,

I'm not sure what reference transactions are; a brief google makes them look like chained charges off a single auth, which I don't recall us having back in '03. They look very credit-card specific, also, which would miss out on balance and ACH-based payments...

I presumed Spreedly's interaction would work the same as how iTunes, eBay (for fees), Yahoo, etc., all work w/Paypal...Spreedly establishes a pre-approved billing agreement, and then charges once a month/year, and it comes out of the users preferred payment source... In any case, I presume I'll need a PayFlow account to use Spreedly, also?

It's been a long time since I was in the payments business... I'll keep an eye on Spreedly's features and see how it dovetails with my timeline.

If I were employed, or were already getting money from my users, I'd get a Kickstart in a heartbeat. I worked out the numbers and if I can get 100 new (or upgrading from free) users a month to pay a $20 yearly subscription, a Kickstart pays for itself in 10 months... (saving 2% of the first $1k + 1% of the next $1k + $19.95/mo., if I read your fees correctly.)

Spreedly seems like a great idea, and I hope you do well! Payments are a grossly scary world (I was with Paypal in the semi-early days, so I have a healthy respect for anyone who dares to dip into those waters), and I'm dreading having to build it myself, even for a little while.

Unfortunately the 'untagged' list is export-controlled, so to speak.

I can get all my tags (even beyond the 50 shown in the tags display) in XML format trivially, but the list of untagged apps sorted by time isn't equally available, unless (apparently) you have a paid account.

I too wanted to build a tool that would let me do this, since I'd like to have all my tags not just the top few, available when tagging an app/site. Not to mention how nice a simple multi-select would be...

It looks like it's not available for the free level of users, though.

It's vaguely understandable, in that the list of apps (tagged or untagged) is the golden data...

Hrm... I thought wmode="opaque" would also allow the CSS to float on top of the flash, and some comments have it using lower CPU. Not something I've played with, though, so you'd know far better than I.

But I know the feeling of 'does not advance the cause'...

Heh! Okay; I futzed with it a bit, turning AdBlock Plus back on for rescuetime.com, and nuked the goal lines (HBullet.swf), for example, and the CPU utilization cleaned right up.

I got about the same performance benefit from nuking the two sparklines at the top, but nuking the one big 'Time Spent' didn't have a big effect.

With the bullet lines for the goals removed, it returns to being relatively snappy.
