I reckon you should start hacking on your project first, once you have a working prototype, come back to HN & do a ASK HN thread. Follow-up in the replies that you are seeking a mentor. It will convert better.
See it this way, I am a potential hacker, here's what I made. Help! I need advice. The take-up will be much better.
- aj 16y agoAgreed. However, in my case, I need help with the business/commercial aspect of the project than the technical/implementation. I have actually started working on the project along with a friend and are a couple of weeks away from stage 1 (alpha 1 I suppose) so wanted to get a head start on the other aspects.
- iworkforthem 16y agoWhat do you mean by the commercial/business aspect of the project? Are you talking about how the project can be monetized? If that's what you are concerned, I dun think you should worried too much. Look at twitter. :P How are they making money? Instead if you have a viable product that solve some problems for your users, there are quite a few ways to make money from it. I.E. paid subscription, sell licenses, white label, sell the whole company, etc...
