https://ethgas.carrd.co
Most of us are aware that the gas charge for ETH transactions is exorbitant, but what if you could track the gas fee in realtime straight on your desktop and save money by being notified of the gas fee that best suits your needs.

Here is how it looks like

VC Fundraising Manual: VCs Are Unavailable On Monday
http://getventure.typepad.com/markpeterdavis/2008/02/vcs-are-unavail.html
For most VC funds Monday is a quasi holy day. Most VCs do not schedule meetings or calls on Mondays in order to have a partners meeting where the team can have uninterrupted time to discuss deals and more generally manage the business. They do this because the other four days of the work week are typically full of entrepreneur meetings, due diligence calls, investor follow-ups, networking events and administrative work, leaving little to no time for the partners to meet and make decisions...

Is this applicable for American sports?
http://www.this11.com
Hi all,

Me and my co-founder has been working on this for a while now. As both of us are moonlighting, it didn't go as fast as we wanted but anyway there we are.

this11.com is basically an online soccer tactics board, which produces a jpg file of a soccer formation. You are given a link to the jpg file a la imageshack and use it within forums, blogs or any other type of online content.

Soccer(or football as we call it) fans love discussing about tactis and formations over here in Europe. Is this the case for NFL, NBA or NHL fans? Can this concept be of any value in North America?

What do you think of our app in general?

Cheers
Ask HN: Language Learning Software that emulates learning like children?
I've wondered about this for a while. Why is there no language learning software that
emulates the process we use as children for picking up a language?

Is there any programs that I'm not aware of?

I've used chinesepod.com and now japanesepod101.com but these are all audio based. They are good lessons but I feel it would be so much easier to learn if the dialogs were shown as video. If someone is ordering tea in a restaurant, I should see the person ordering tea and my mind will associate the sounds with the images.

Does anyone know why this hasn't been done before? Is it just too expensive and time consuming to do video editing as opposed to audio? I haven't yet learned a foreign language fluently but I am dismayed that so many products try to come up with new ways of teaching rather than just using the way we learn as children.

I will be taking some time off next year to work on ideas and this might be one of them. If anyone has an interest in improving language learning software, feel free to contact me.

Show HN: I created a toothbrush that docks and charges without wires
https://m0de.com/
Hey HN!

I’ve been a DTC founder in the oral care space for several years and was looking to bring new innovation to the electric toothbrush aisle.

My biggest pain point with electric toothbrushes came from my own experiences using competing brands. The brushes took up a lot of bathroom counter space when charging, had an unsightly wire running from the wall and the dock often filled with water/gunk. Not to mention I’d often knock over my brush when reaching for other bathroom tools.

I wanted to create a product that was always within reach, but out of the way. Something that lived in the bathroom and improved the aesthetic - not detracted from it.

The “aha” moment came when I got a new Dyson wall charging vacuum in my home. The product was incredible - it was easy to grab and go, accessible and made vacuuming a fun task, not a chore. The thought of lugging out a heavy vacuum from the closet and plugging a wire in was something of the past. Dyson brought incredible innovation to this small routine.

I applied this same thought process to Mode. I wanted to create a brush that lived on the wall like the Dyson vacuum and was easy to grab and go. Something that had no wires, was not intrusive and made the routine of brushing a better experience.

I embarked on a 2+ year journey with an amazing design and engineering team. Together, we created a compact charging dock that plugs directly into the bathroom wall and magnetically docks and charges the toothbrush.

The biggest challenge we faced was getting all of the components in such a compact wireless dock (magnets, charging coil, LED nightlight, etc) in addition to getting the charging to work without overheating.

The product is patent-pending and I’m incredibly excited for the future of brushing. Happy to answer any questions and would love feedback.
Zenoss Core 4 Preview for Everyone
http://community.zenoss.org/blogs/zenossblog/2012/04/04/core-4-preview-for-everyone
I've done several demos and presentations around Core 4 at this point, these have always been to a limited audience (conferences, talks, etc.). I think it's time to do a preview webcast for everyone else that's interested. So if you haven't had the time to take a look at the Alpha builds or participate in the bug hunt, then this is your opportunity to see what's new and hot. Here are some of the things we'll cover:

•	Core 4 High Level Design Goals
•	Core 4 vs. Core 3 Architecture
•	New features in Core 4 (triggers, SNMPv3, IPv6)
•	ZenPack Repository

Basically, with this live demo, you'll see the new architecture, new features, and hear first-hand what direction Zenoss is heading in the coming months.
