Ask HN: Appsumo needs your help
Appsumo has a killer Lean Startup Bundle coming next month and I need your help to get this right. I need a quip to print on a sticker that geeks worldwide will proudly sport on their laptops. It can be an image (Ries with the Che Guevara treatment?) or a would-be slogan.
It must be hilarious, speak to the lean startup "movement" and printable on a sticker
Here's a few to start you off:
"Pivot", "My MVP just facebooked your mom" and "Iterate or Die"
CAN YOU SEE WHY I NEED HELP?
What's in it for you? Seeing your words on the laptops of your cohort! A good word from me to the Masters of the Universe aka McClure and Ries!
Leave a comment that we can use on the stickers! Thanks!
- Shooter 16y agoWell, I need help from AppSumo ;-) I get emails about things I want to buy from AppSumo. I click through to your website on the same day I receive said emails. Your site confirms my email address. I'm then shown a DIFFERENT product/bundle than what I was emailed about. It has happened twice...and makes me less likely to click through in the future. I thought AppSumo usually only offered one bundle at a time, so I'm confused as to how this is happening...?
- robflynn 16y agoOn the bottom left of the site you will see 'Previous Deals.' I suppose it is a bit of a misnomer since you can see current deals as well. Click that and you should be able to see all of the current deals.

- Oblivia 16y agoIs it bad to have "fuck" on a sticker bound for a laptop? It's not really work-safe, right?
- olegious 16y ago"looking for a technical co-founder" "fund this"
- codeslush 16y ago"What's your fucking problem?" (no really, tell me, cause I don't know shit)

- naithemilkman 16y agoOhhh! I like these things. 1. "Lean startups, disrupting your business from Day 1" 2. i) launch a dipshit company ii) pivot iii) ???? iv) exit for $25m dollars 3. if you mention the term lean startups again, im going to pivot my fist into your face 4. lean startups - leaning over your competitors shoulder and copying 5. more hacking, less hacker news 6. be like water, pivot (picture of bruce lee in the background) 7. only upstarts start startups 8. imvu is pronounced im-vu not i-m-v-u 9. lean startups - turning 1 year failures into 5 year deathmarches
