Does anyone use http://burst.net/ ? I've found them to be one of the cheapest VPS providers. May want to check them out if hosting in Germany is not an option.


I use it to host http://livepost.in since last month. Pingdom reported some small downtimes but other than that it was ok. You get what you pay for, but I think burst.net is value for money.


Does any one know if their VPS servers are XEN or OpenVZ?


It's KVM.


I'll go ahead and make some suggestions: like dlf said, it would be nice to be able to play with it before registering. Furthermore, you should allow the user to login with OpenID services such as Google or Facebook, anything you can do to reduce the time it takes for a user to get started.

You should add an easy way to edit the idea once it has been made. I frequently want to revise or add some resources that go along with an idea I may have.

It's a good start, but lacking some features that would prevent me from using it as a way to store my ideas primarily. I'd be interested in hearing about your progress, it's going to make for a great learning experience.


Thanks for the feedback! I chose to do a standard registration/login solely because it's my first php project- I want to learn how to handle forms and interact with databases.

As per the editing, it seems that is something I should really implement.


"IdeaBin was designed and developed by Alex Greene, a 16 yr. old student at The Bronx High School of Science."

Keep up the good work, you've got some real talent for your age. Congratulations on releasing!


Thanks, I really appreciate it. However, I'd rather receive criticism as if my age were not there. If I changed the 16 to a '35', would you still say the same thing?


Send me an email ra3don92[at]gmail.com I've got some more in-depth criticism i'll pass along.


S/He'll be chasing the release dragon for years now. :|


This looks great, I wasn't aware this existed. Can anyone share some similar tools they use to speed up that Ctrl+S and changing between windows process that happens when editing CSS?


Not for editing the whole website, but we have launched a web widget editor recently (http://designduke.com). You can edit individual HTML widgets like buttons, input boxes, forms etc :)


Neat! I would like to point out that the intro text right under the header is a bit hard to read with that blue background.


Thanks! let me find a more readable color


I just play with Chrome's dev tools and then copy the changes I made to CSS.
