Hello everyone.

I have an idea for an app and I am trying to validate the idea. I want to create an app which allows users to hoist a private auction (an English Auction). You create an auction in my app, keep some start time for the auction, you invite other users to participate in your auction by mentioning their email addresses. The auction happens and the highest bidder is decided. The actual transaction between the highest bidder and seller happens offline. (May be in some other use cases, there is no actual transaction)

@HNs: 1) Will you be needing this app? If so, what is your case? (if the use case is shady, just mention shady) 2) I am having trouble in figuring out the use cases. Can you guess any use cases for this app?

Edit: Only the users invited to the auction will be able to bid.

I am looking for apps that will allow me to hoist a private auction. I am looking to hoist an English Auction (There will be a starting price and people bid at a higher price than the previous price). I am thinking that I will invite people for my auction by adding their email address.

Do you know of any such apps (or similar apps)?

Hi,

I have just observed that my production REST API calls are failing (timeout or error status codes) even though the server itself is running. I am not sure since when. As I have very limited user base, no one reported the issue.

I am looking for tools that test our REST API calls continuously and report to us if those calls start failing. Also, are there any other solutions such that the above scenario does not happen again?

Edit: I will/can debug what the issue here is. I am looking for specific simple tools/products that can take my GET API request, call it every n minutes, and notify me if the api request fails.

Hi.

Did you ever not like a facebook page just because you were worried that your friends will know about your interest? I believe we need to give users an option to `follow` a page without letting his/her friends know that he/she follows/likes a certain page.

I made an app which allows you to follow facebook pages without actually liking those pages in facebook. This app will allow you to `follow` various facebook pages and this app will have a `wall` where you will have a PICTURES FEED of the facebook pages that you are following. Will you be interested in trying out this app?

Please let me know. Thanks for your time.
