Totally agree with your points on Bootstrap – I personally I prefer to use these ‘frameworks’ as something to help me build upon my own version. I tend to go through these kind of boilerplates as a way to inspire new ways to improve my own boilerplate.

Building a boilerplate of my own means that I usually know where to look when problems come up!

I’d support having the full transcript is to ensure the content is accessible to all users. If you want a summary, skim read it :-)

I really like the posts you guys make but please just summarise these podcasts when doing a post, reading through the banter really isn’t of any benefit and it unfortunately means I don’t have time to read your posts.

Hey Paul, Marcus, many thanks for giving SocialSafe a little time in the limelight. Didn’t realise you could listen live but hopefully can clarify a couple of bits for you now.

The data you back up from your social networks is stored locally on your machine and will always be accessible, even if you choose not to renew a licence (the licence gives you free updates and allows you to continue to perform back ups).

Because SocialSafe is a desktop app and all data is downloaded directly to you (we see nothing), the app needs to be running to perform any type of back up. The current scheduler allows you to set times to run back ups but does require the app to be open. We’re looking at how to improve this – a little background app (menu/task bar) that takes care of scheduled back ups for example.
We still struggle with the why! Is it simply a peace of mind back up tool in the same guise as an offsite photo back up tool? Or is it to look after your life’s story, to never forget, or is it simply most appropriate to businesses with social network presences that have a duty to document any public statements? With this in mind it’s been really helpful to see what you guys had to say.
