I'm preparing an online magazine, similar to the one compellingsciencefiction has (which, as its name implies, is based around hard science fiction)

There are already a couple writers interested in participating, however I'm wondering which theme should the magazine tackle.

Would you read stories where the "topic" is different each month (plague, outworldly invasion, dystopy, etc)? Or maybe the genre changes monthly (fantasy,science fiction, western)? Or would you prefer a magazine that focuses specifically on one genre only, say, fantasy?

Most of you probably know unsplash, its a site that has high quality photography images that you can use for free.

Im looking for an equivalent, but for digital art.

I own the site rainychat.com, basically a website that pairs you to chat with another random user. However, while you can talk about anything you want, it also allows the feature to choose to be a "listener" or a "venter", so if you had a rough day, or feel lonely, or just have a problem you´d like to talk about, you can be paired with someone who is willing to be the counterpart - a listener.

In any case, there are variations of this idea around the web, most notably blahtherapy or 7cupsoftea. They certainly have tons of users, but I´m confident my alternative is far better. No ads, good reconnection, minimalist design, backspace doesn´t exit the chat (it´s a line of js, I can´t believe they haven´t fixed that), just the little things that add up over time.

I´m having trouble finding a way to pull new users or those from other sites to my product. I don´t have a prior project from where to get users from, no email lists, no facebook followers. I put a lot of work into this site, I´m honestly kinda lost. Any advice?

Im currently working no more than 6-7 hours per day, which leaves me with a lot of free time during the evenings.

What kind of side project could I start to make some extra money?

I have been using PHP for a while now, but I always did it raw - no frameworks.

Is there an "all purpose" PHP framework that I should know of? Kinda like jquery is a javascript simplifier in a way, that can be used for pretty much anything.

HN, I´ve tried saking on StackOverflow, googling for answers, looking at the API, but I have no idea how to make this configuration work.

This is my problem:

I have a gateway which has 31 chips inside. I have it configured so any incoming sms to those numbers are forwarded as a mail to 2 emails (clear in the image below). However the configuration makes it clear it can also do the opposite, it can make it so I can send a mail, and that mail be then sent as an sms through my gateway.

In short, I can do "sms -> mail", but haven't been able to do "mail -> sms".

This is the configuration panel for both things:

This is the actual api/configuration manual for this model, which says nothing about the part I need: http://www.dinstar.com/uploads/soft/150630/DWG2000SerieslastestAPI.pdf

I´m out of ideas, is anyone able to help me as to exactly how this works? Does the gateway check my mail for messages with specific subjects? I have tried everything.

Thanks.
