Science-Based Nootropic Recommendations
Hey. I'm David, CEO at Nootralize: https://nootralize.com.

Nootralize is dedicated to helping people engineer the experience of feel-good productivity in themselves. We’re on a mission of raising well-being by biohacking cognitive performance and happiness.

We're currently working on our web app which will let a user find a nootropic compound that enhances their well-being or chosen cognitive function. The "Nootralize effects" consist of scientifically measurable psychometrics and lets a layman find a nootropic for their specific mental need. We boost the odds of a person without knowledge of the science of psychology, molecular biology, psychiatry, etc. that is needed for safe and efficient nootropic use finding the best nootropic for them.

We are three co-founders (David, Max, Johan).

We're looking for feedback on the beta version of our app and are open to investment proposals.

Here is the beta version of our app: https://beta.nootralize.com

So far we've had a total of ~100k views on our blog.

Revenue streams
Current:
* Medium ~$30/month
* PsychologyToday ~$60/(first) month

Near future:
* Ads are a possibility
* Affiliate partnerships/referrals
* Podcast (YT ads) - Nootropic retailer referrals/sponsorship

Long-term
* Sell our own nootropics
* B2B counseling
* Nootropic community with add-on features and/or coins for increased status, similarly to reddit.com
This idea is the big long-term play that we're most optimistic about.

Would love some feedback on the app.

Thanks, David.

Ask HN: Idea - ever thought about integrating analytics & Facebook Open Graph?
Here's an Idea: an analytics suite or plugin that ties user sessions with facebook, so that you can see that "John Doe" visited your site rather than visitor_123123. Anyone doing something like this?

Vote Forbidden Tree
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB3yxtst7p0&feature=channel
"Forbidden Tree," the seven-minute film from Iran by Banafsheh Modarresi, now at Cannes short corner contest, is a story about a land where love is forbidden and freedom a distant memory. People dare not stand up for their basic rights, so they have adapted themselves to living in a harsh environment. In the process of forgetting about love, their faces and figures have become transformed. In fact, the less love they have inside the more they come to show it on the outside -- indeed, some have even turned into animals.

Alien Swarm : Free 4 Player Coop
http://www.alienswarm.com/
This just came out on Steam. Its a free mod for the source engine, released with dev tools and source code. I figured I'd give 15-30 minutes to it last night with some friends that were raving about it and ended up giving in 3 hours. Its very fun coop play, and I'm looking forward to looking at the dev kit that came with it after I beat the final level.
I'm posting this because I believe we all need to relax now and then and play a game, but for those of us that love programming, its great when you can modify the games which we play. I think thats what keeps the PC gaming community strong is the need to modify our games in ways that consoles lack.
Good Luck!

My first app: OkCupid for networking
https://treatings.co/activity
My best friend and I hated our jobs and wanted a non-awkward way to reach out to people whose work interested us. We finally quit our jobs, moved into bunkbeds (http://instagram.com/p/WOPgf-rcFB/), and learned to code in order to build a community of people open to meeting strangers whose work interests them, over coffee. We're now talking to companies who will be featuring their employees as "ambassadors" offering coffee meetings ("treatings") to individuals interested in working at their company.

We think job sites suck and that networking/job seeking should work like online dating. Would love peoples' feedback, and an upvote!

Free Class on "Playing with Ruby" - Jan 5th - Boulder, CO
http://www.davinciinstitute.com/events/633/playing-with-ruby-saturday-january--5-2013
For anyone in the Denver-Boulder, Colorado area wanting to dip their toes into the water of learning Ruby, here's your chance.

Ask any software developer how they first learned to program. Maybe at some point they read books or attended classes, but ultimately they had to learn by trial and error: by typing in some code and seeing what happened. You learn your first programming language by playing with code, just like you learned your first spoken language by playing with sounds.

In this workshop you'll work with some Ruby code that draws an image on the screen. Your job is to change the image by changing the code. The goal is to give everyone first-hand experience with variables, loops, branches, and the command line. You'll figure it out faster than we can explain it, so let's get started.

Light food, snacks, and refreshments will be provided.

NOTE: Please bring a computer or be ready to share. If it has Windows, please download and install Ruby from rubyinstaller.org before the workshop.

DAVINCI CODERS: For anyone wanting to know more about DaVinci Coders (www.davincicoders.com), this is a great way to get started. Please plan to join us for this remarkable event... and the best part, it's FREE.

EVENT: Playing with Ruby
DATE: January 5, 2013 - Saturday
TIME: 09:00am-12:30pm
COST: FREE
LOCATION: DaVinci Institute, 511 E. South Boulder Road, Louisville, CO 80027

Ask HN: CSS architecture techniques?
After writing lots of CSS in lots of client sites, I'm definitely missing a Grand Unified Theory of CSS. I understand that the GUT may not be available to me when operating in other people's sandboxes, but still... So I'm looking for best practices on high level CSS architecture/organization. Should I:

* Minimize the length of a selector to make it general? Maximize it to make it specific? (I tend to be hyper-specific)

* Use a standard hierarchy of selector (#page-name .content-block .sub-element .element).

* Use CSS modules (/css/widgets/user_list.css, /css/widgets/merchant.css).

* Use SASS or SCSS?

* Divide CSS by function (e.g. .left, .right) and module (e.g. .widget, .widget-calendar).

* Pick jQuery-UI/ExtJS/etc, study their CSS and follow their lead?

Can you recommend great articles, advice or guides? As with programming, I know that there are a number of styles of coding for CSS; I just haven't seen them discussed as much as OO vs FP on HN and CSS seems pervasive, critical and, basically, randomly used.
