I am building it to replace Low-Orbit Ion Cannon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Orbit_Ion_Cannon

The initial primitive version just uses Selenium to load website (Russia Today hardcoded for now) into a headless Chrome instance in a loop with cache disabled (must have Chrome installed).

The idea is to make it walk the site, download (but not actually play) streaming media, try to discover requests, that server takes most time to respond to.

Ask HN: Review my startup, http://www.xuland.com
Good afternoon HN,

I started working on Xuland well over a year ago as a hobby. At first, I was looking to create an alternative to Craigslist - a site with a commenting engine similar to Facebook/etc but with a map and geolocation features. Since then I've migrated away from that idea.

Xuland offers some location-based features which I think folks could really come to find useful. The deals tab, for instance, aggregates deals from Groupon, LivingSocial and Restaurant.com in an easy-to-use interface. Other API's like Yelp and Eventful are included as well. Visitors can register directly with Xuland or login directly using up to six different external accounts (Facebook, etc). The site also allows for image upload and even simple editing, like red-eye removal.

I've gotten around 8,000 unique visitors worldwide since I deployed the site initially, but going public involved nothing more than a blog post and a mention on some small sites like KillerStartups. My first blog post has risen to become the 4th most popular blog post on Adobe Feeds in the past year (http://feeds.adobe.com/index.cfm?query=byMostPopularYear) even though I'd say its contents are now probably outdated. One point to mention: the site is built using Flex/Flash so I apologize to iPad users in advance. I am working on the Android/iOS app versions as well as a mobile web-app that can be used within mobile browsers.

I'm interested in what the HN community thinks of the idea in general and its implementation - site design, etc.

I appreciate all your feedback! ;)

Sincerely,
Erich Cervantez

Rate my sideproject that by-pass paywalls to gather content
http://www.feedsapi.com/
I've been working on this sideproject for a few weeks now and I believe , it's fine for a public release.
The basic idea is that: you can use this tool to have RSS feeds generated from any website (No flash sites), and fetch full content from any feeds, no matter if the original feeds only offers excerts or is behind a paywall. I plan to introduce premium features for monetization. The tool will come in handy when you come across sites that only have partial feeds, and also when all that you want is to generate one page feed with all main content found on any site that interests you, but whose layout is unpractical. Here's a sample of the hackernews Feed url: http://feeds.feedburner.com/feedsapi/BwPx

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

Show HN: Find and Research the Right Electric Car Based on Your Specific Needs
https://electricdriver.co
Hi HN! We are looking for feedback on the Electric Driver, a site that helps car shoppers easily more objectively find the right electric car that more closely matches their unique needs.

Having gone through the process of researching and buying an electric vehicle and helping others we learned that car research sites do not meet the needs of electric vehicle consumers.

Specifically, we developed a new process for researching electric vehicles that more closely aligns with how consumers evaluate and make purchase decisions.

Needs-Based Search: The auto industry today uses a year, make and model or search by body style to search for vehicles. The problem with this method of search is if a person does not know what specific vehicle, they want they are forced to wade through most vehicles looking for the ones that meet their criteria. We developed a new method of search that asks the shopper what criteria (Eg. I want a safe, reliable, fuel-efficient 5-seater under $35K that can go 200 miles on a single charge) is important to them to electric vehicles that best meet their needs.

Comparison Based Shopping: We developed a new method of comparison shop based on the three strongest candidates based on your needs. Based on what criteria you told us was important to you we compare and show the trade-offs between each electric vehicle and highlight the vehicle that most closely matches your needs. We believe people by natural use comparisons.

Personalized Electric Vehicle Information: based on your location and other criteria we show you what it costs to drive a mile in a specific electric vehicle versus gas in your area. We show the consumer expected maintenance and insurance costs look like versus gas and we also show you want compatible chargers are available in your area. We also explain the environmental impact of switching from gas to electricity. Based on your location your electricity may be generated from Coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, or renewables. We show what your state power mix looks like can calculate the estimated carbon emission from buying from the utility.

Our goal is to educate and help car shoppers find the right electric vehicle that fits their needs.
This project has been bootstrapped.

We are looking for feedback beyond our friends and family and the limited group of people we have been testing with. As you go through the site was questions you have did we not address, what could we do better, and anything else you want to share.

Ask HN: How to auto-Parse Email for specific data
Hi,
I am working on something as a side project currently and planning out the feature set of the product. I wanted to know if there's a library or module in Python that works w.r.t. parsing emails forwarded to a particular email address.

Example use case: User forwards an email receipt recieved from any particular vendor (amazon or ebay or etsy etc.) to a specific email address. The details of the email body get parsed grabbing the essential information (vendor name, product name, date of purchase, etc.) and stores it to the users profile. The list of such details from various sources is then accessible from a central console if i may say so.

Is there a good way to approach this? Any pointers would be helpful.

Thanks.
