      == Barcelona, Spain -- Typeform -- Full time frontend engineer ==

      Typeform looking for frontend developer to innovate forms on the web as we know it

      Typeform is a startup in sunny Barcelona, creating the next generation of forms and surveys on the web. We are heavily focused on great UX with the user in mind and we’re now looking for the best frontend developers Barcelona and Spain has to offer us to help us build a scalable and maintainable frontend.

      As a frontend engineer at Typeform, you would be responsible for creating and innovating on every cornerstone in the frontend platform at Typeform. This means you should be exceptional at writing Javascript (with Coffeescript) that works without any problems in the most popular browsers (at least IE8 and up!) but also HTML and CSS that works excellent for all our current and future users.

      You should have a solid understanding of software architecture and design patterns. You should know OOP from the inside out and would be great if you have a great desire to innovate, learn about new technologies and also be ready to take a part in the building of the product.

      == Currently, we use (but not limited to) the following technologies ==

      * HTML and CSS (via LESS)

      * JavaScript (via Coffeescript)

      * PHP

      * Go

      * Docker

      == We have the following requirements for you as a developer ==

      * Multiple years of experience with frontend development

      * A strong will to learn more about the technologies you use

      * Expert OOP…

      Except that for Twitter you do. A few MB = 30 seconds of tweets. I don't know why you think financial feeds are related to twitter, other than both being data feeds.

      The $360k price tag is not "implied", it's the actual price for access to 50% of twitter's messages (see the link I posted). 100% access can only be negotiated with Twitter itself. To be fair, from the information I could find, the cheapest plan from gnip is $500/month[1], datasift is $3000/month[2], both quickly go up. That means you can't just whip up a prototype in the weekend for some new idea anymore. This pricing probably filters out 99% of the things that could be built on it, limiting them to projects with investor backing and ready business models (which twitter itself still doesn't have).

      I love Fever, and just switched to it. I included it on my own roundup at Web.AppStorm: http://web.appstorm.net/roundups/rssfeeds/google-reader-is-dead-heres-what-you-need-to-replace-google-reader/. I think people don't mention self-hosted options as much because most people would immediately think it was too much trouble to run their own service.

      For someone hosting their own site already, though, it's incredibly simple to host something like this yourself. Surprising more people don't.
