I’m interested to know how fellow software developers (freelancers, small businesses) estimate projects for clients.

Do you use any tools to come up with a quote? Do you send a proposal document to clients? If so, do you use a tool to generate one, or do you just use a template in a word processor? What are your main pain points when quoting for work?

Cheers!

Whenever I can I write web apps in Python and Django. I find the framework right on the money. Sometimes I don’t have the privilege to choose the programming language, or it simply makes more sense to write in PHP. When that’s the case, I really miss logical framework like Django.

I’ve already written some classes that mimic Django’s routing and models. I’m thinking of putting it together into a framework and releasing it open-source. It’s not even close to being a Django clone at this stage. If there’s interest, I will go ahead with the project.

Hi hackers,

I've been working on this app in the evenings and on the weekends for about 3 months (on and off).

How it's unique:

- Pay-as-you-go: No subscriptions. Buy credit packages (starting at $10 for 2000). 1 credit = 1 visit tested

- Works on dynamic pages: most A/B testing apps make a copy of your page and host variations on their servers. Simple as A/B injects variations into your pages using JS.

- Simple: no visual editor. Just copy & paste your HTML into variations.

You set variations as HTML, eg:

<button class="red">Buy now</button>

and

<button class="blue">Buy now</button>

When you sign up you'll get a 1000 credits for free.

I'd love to hear your opinion.

For a session to be secure all requests that carry the cookie need to be over HTTPS.

When going to https://twitter.com/ I noticed that (among dozens of others) it requests URL http://twitter.com/scribe?[...] (note HTTP, not HTTPS) which includes the session cookie.

Hence, it's sent plain-text, even if you go to https://twitter.com/
