If there is one thing I have learned out of reading HN the past couple of years - it's that to be successful, the technology is not always as important as the actual problem being solved. So, don't get carried away by the technology or the prettiness of your code etc. Solve a real problem, and do so with constant feedback from your target audience. Also start thinking about marketing from day one. Be prepared to cold email and cold call. Building is easy, but selling is not!
