        I’ve put over £80K of my own money into Ind.ie and I’m working my ass off to try and make a positive contribution to tech/society.

        Yes, we’re learning about the problem as we go and yes, we’re iterating and we will continue to. We’ll make mistakes, learn, and keep going.

        Don’t want to keep linking to that site but I got the link in the original tweet wrong (the site doesn’t work over SSL), use http to see it.

        @aral Meh. On the other hand some idiots blew a bunch of money on buying a ".fail" domain. So the punishment for being a jerk is built in.
