I agree that code is not the only thing that should be worked on. Loving customers, treating them with respect and listening to them is also essential to me.
I am currently working on an idea and have a lot of questions on different aspects and don't even know where to look for answers. Is there some online resources related to the different aspects of an online business? (understanding a service that you pay for and use online, such as BaseCamp from 37signals). For example, should you start to give a service for free at the beginning and then monetize it when you have a lot of users, if you do so, is there some legal issues following this way? Another example, the disclaimer: how do you manage this, does it really protect the entrepreneur? I feel like there is a lot to considered out of the code itself and the marketing.

- dkb 14y agoI do not have any fund and have a job, but I was thinking about starting something aside of my job and try to make it known. The biggest problem for me now is not technical, I could write an app to develop my idea and put it online. The problem is that I don't know what I am allowed to do or not allowed to do as an owner of a website/webapp that I put for free online. If you take for example the case of Craiglist, someone will put an ad to sell something, and potential buyers will contact this person. How does the website discharge itself from being responsible from any failure in the process? Every law related question are pretty hard to find an answer to.
