You've got to hand it to the Slidemail guy. He posts a few days ago with a Show HN for his launch page and gets criticized that it is against the rules of Show HN to post to a sign-up form. So now he posts an unrelated, but available app on the subdomain with a link to his main project...


You got me! :D


Sounds cool in theory, but instead of showing me the answer, it immediately scrolls the answer away and replaces it with a pink bar saying "Click here to check out my main project. It's a more intelligent email app."

If you can't even make your toy search engine work properly (as in, actually present me with a result for "What year is it?"), then there's no way in hell I'm clicking that link.


Keep getting redirected to someone's website. Guess you aren't filtering the input!


a privacy respecting and much more polished search engine you might like is searx: https://github.com/asciimoo/searx


Does it just show the title of the matched question? I can't seem to get to any actual answers from this.


Page doesn't work on Firefox 35. Javascript/HTML FAIL:

  SecurityError: The operation is insecure. foobub.slidemailapp.com:100
  TypeError: Parse.initialize is not a function  foobub.slidemailapp.com:110
There seems to be a cross-site scripting attempt in there. Firefox doesn't allow that.

Also, the </html> tag is supposed to go at the END of the file.


[dead]


spam on HN.... well I never.


If you wait on the main page for like 5 seconds and don't type anything, people's last 10 queries will start to fade in.


Indeed, and you'll see they don't filter the input so XSS attacks are possible.

Just enter a question of "<script>foo</script>", and reload the main index to see it happen.
