Planswell | planswell.ca | Senior full-stack developer | Fulltime ONSITE | Toronto ON, Canada

Planswell is a new FinTech startup based in Toronto aiming to deliver financial planning at scale.

What we're doing at Planswell is incredibly valuable to Canadian families. 95% of Canadians, because they are not yet wealthy, don't have access to quality financial planning. And we can give it to them, without human error or bias. And to deliver that, we've got some really compelling technology and and design challenges that are going to be lots of fun to tackle.

We’re currently forming our core team and we’d love to talk to you if you’re excited about:

• helping Canadians to live better

• being an early employee of a well funded startup

• solving problems in creative ways

• using developer friendly languages and frameworks such as Ruby, Elixir, Ember and React

Please PM me if interested and I can’t wait to hear from you!


Probably was referring to the naming of private mode on these browsers?


Ah okay, didn't think of that ;)


Which 2011 MBP do you have? We have 4 of our 15" 2011 MBPs fixed by Apple for free under the recall without any issues.

Pow is great - except when you need to fall back on debugging multiple apps. Even with powder it's flaky at best.


Homebrew also updated: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commit/ae9b146fb64cc2db914b...

Just brew update and upgrade.


ruby-debug19 is still not updated...


The lack of a working ruby-debug19 has been the only thing keeping me from using 1.9.3.


Just use pry, it's not really a debugger replacement, but it's useful in most cases that ruby-debug19 would be used.

I've used pry. I like pry, but it really does not fill the need of a debugger.


This is horrible, yet from Canada's largest(?) wireless carrier??

and you can bypass all the business logic, including checking someone's location I think.

Did I mention that they store your password in plaintext in a cookie? #facepalm


I'm a bit confused is the problem the fact that they implement a full API client in javascript and you can read the code?

The plain-text password in the cook seems to be it's huge flaw, but I don't see the problem with the fact that you can circumvent the javascript as long as business rules are still validated on the server side.


Exactly, and they don't - it does return a random location when I put in a random user_id (they simply expose a user object in the global space with all sorts of attributes in it). They totally upped Apple's "Find My Friends" with this "Find My Strangers" site.


Thanks for all the comments so far! We will be rethinking the backgrounds / design in the next iteration and definitely will improve the typeface.

Sign-in with Facebook will also be integrated soon.


Nice site Ken. Quick question - how do you deal with duplicate quotes being posted on the site?


Thanks for the comments! The homepage isn't a good landing page at all. We're working on a video to show off the site a bit more, and will soon put the most popular quotes on the homepage to get people taste the site better.

Agree with the sign-in part. We're using Django (perhaps should have picked rails) and that's the default settings. We will rectify that issue soon. Thanks again for the feedback!
