Excellent product. Keep up the good work!

What does the humiliation on Facebook look like?

To be exact:

I am weak willed. I set an Alarm for [ 03:06 PM ] but instead I have decided to snooze ( this is an automated message from BetterMe: www.bettermeapp.co )

Sticking an advertisement in there is enough to turn me off the service.

Within the Netherlands there are far more appealing solutions, such as MoneyBird. They've been rockin' at it for a few years now. To be honest, to me MoneyMonk looks like a limited clone of MoneyBird.

(I'm a happy customer of MoneyBird)

I am glad you are a happy customer of MoneyBird. This tells me there is at least a market of 1 person ;) I am quite surprised you can tell from only a couple of screenshots, MoneyMonk is a limited clone.

Of course there are similarities, giving the fact we target the same audience. But I really think we have a different kind of product. This sort of competition is only a good thing. It keeps us all motivated to make the best software for our customers. In the end it is the customer who wins.

According to the e-mail, this time around they will only sell in the U.S.

I'm sorry, I think due to our lacking description of how the technology exactly works you're confusing it with existing technologies. What we announced today is not comparable with something like Installatron, they do just version updates. Those automatic updates usually breaks plugins. We only patch the vulnerabilities, without modifying any functionality.

Nope, we work with hosts that do exactly that. Patch and update if it is outdated, fix if it is broken and even remove any malware if it is infected.

Again, what you guys are doing is great, and I don't want to take that way. My only point is that you were not the first and some have been doing that for a while.

thanks,

Well, please, then already describe how it works. And don't forget technical details as we're quite technical 'round here..

Sorry, but you definitely aren't the first: http://support.wpengine.com/wp-engines-security-environment/

To my understanding, the page you are linking to describes a sandbox environment, which is different from what the poster is doing.

You're right many vulnerabilities exist in the plugins/themes. We do fix these as well.

Are you reporting these issues back to the authors of the plugins/themes and providing your fixes for them to include?

Thank you! :-) We think so too!

Thank you for your interest. The service focuses on fixing vulnerabilities in commonly used and popular software solutions such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. So, currently, we do not fix handwritten SQL injection vulnerabilities.

On a technical level it differs primarily on that it's not an external service that can only start responding after the website has been hacked; they treat the damage caused by a successful hack instead of preventing the hack in the first place. Because we can scan the code itself, we can actually patch vulnerabilities before they are being exploited. The beauty is in that we do not do "normal" updates but just patch the vulnerabilities in a non-obtrusive way, this prevents the website to fail because of incompatibilities.

Does this mean you're writing your own custom patches for every single versions of the software solutions you're supporting ?

> The service focuses on fixing vulnerabilities in commonly used and popular software solutions such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla.

What does this mean? Can you perhaps explain the service? Are these patches based on Drupal/Joomla security releases?

Thanks for taking a look! I will be available here to answer any questions you might have about this new technology.

Congratulations to the 37signals team on launching the all new Basecamp. Just migrated our projects from Basecamp Classic and it's working beautifully.
