Are you talking about value to your business or value in terms of reselling domains?


Doesn't one drive the other?


Why would you need a SAAS app to do this?


Hey I'd like a simple app that tracks how many people click each option, sets a cookie etc

I realize it's pretty trivial for a javascript dev to do, but I don't want to spend time finding someone etc.

Of course I'm open to a ready made script etc, doesn't have to be a SAAS app necessarily.

Just thought maybe there is something out there already as segmenting website visitors like this is very powerful.


Are you just wanting to analyse the user journeys? If so it sounds like something you could achieve with Google Analytics without having to pay for SAAS.


Nice little app. Would be handy to be able to edit the generated .dev URL to be different from the folder.


Thats not really how Pow[1] works. It's weird that there isn't any mention of Pow on that page if that's what it's using in the backend. I didn't download it since I'm not on 10.7, maybe it mentions it later.

I wrote something similar (https://github.com/rktjmp/ker-pow) a while ago but never considered using it to actually make new ~/.pow/ links, I might add that in. Anvil is probably much more useful!

> Thats not really how Pow[1] works.

I think you will find that is _exactly_ how Pow works. Because you're just creating a symlink (ln -s source_name link_name) you can name it whatever you want. (i.e. ln -s ~/sites/my_full_url.com.au ~/.pow/blog)


Whoops, yeah – you're 100% correct. Not sure what I was actually thinking...


You can - right-click on the row to edit the name, as well as open in Finder or Terminal.


Maybe just make it so double clicking a site lets you rename it?


Right-click -> rename.


Doesn't work for me on Macbook Air with Ctrl + Click


Agreed. Although the same could be said for any skill worth mastering.


Metcalfe's law. This is really pretty valuable though. Not many people are likely to hang around on an empty social network no matter how great the UI. Personally I'm pretty fed up with Facebook, but living abroad it is still quite simply the easiest way for me to stay in touch with a lot of my friends.


Wow. That's taking the idea of an MVP a little too far. Just goes to show worth doing a little research before handing over any real information to a new service like this.


Yep - I've been following a similar diet (GAPS) to improve some health issues and found that the first few weeks were tough because of sugar/carb withdrawal symptoms but it improved a lot after that. I'd recommend the book Nourishing Traditions for anyone wanting to keep eating some carbs. It's based on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet which it's my aim to transition to eventually as it's a bit more relaxed about grains/pulses/dairy when prepared correctly.
