I agree with these suggestions. As already pointed out, you are addressing too broad a market. The best way to address a specific niche is to have worked in that industry. To me that is the only way to know the jargon and the pain points. Y

I too wrote something similar in Python a couple of years ago. BUT that's not the point. Your contribution is well documented and effectively shared with whomever might want to use it. That is of value to our community.

The purpose of a MVP is to gauge the market potential of a product. For that reason I would prioritize functionality over glossy looks. Unlike a piece of jewellery or art, a smartphone app needs to deliver some specific value, i.e. people w

When I had my pickup truck, friends would ask me for help in moving fridges when moving between rentals. Typical payment was beer and pizza so not too bad.

Depends on what you are implementing and how. I find Lisp good if you have a rough top-down design and lots of bottom-up implementation details to suss-out. You can test each bit as you build and in passing you might implement a DSL for you

From an investment valuation point of view, any company whose shares are being traded at more than say 12 to 15 x dividend payments has people owning shares who are hoping that they will find an even bigger fool to pay for their shares than

For me success is being happy and living within my means. Did go through the corporate drone phase but big income meant high cost of living so I actually didn't end up saving anything. Once I made the decision to prioritise lifestyle,

I have to admit, I am lazy and tend to use the Debian packaged software with apt-get, etc. The only drawback is the some packages seem to be quite a bit behind the up to date versions on the project's git repository. Personally I ten

Keyboards are a very personal choice. Personally I actually prefer to use the Apple Magic keyboard with my desktop Linux system. You can remap keys easily with system tools. Although my next best preference are mechanical keyboards, i.e. u

I have used by 13" MBP in a TwelveSouth BookArc with 24" LCD, a Magic keyboard and Touchpad. It works very well as a pseudo desktop. The only provisio is that you must have the power connected and switched on. The combo turns on

Timely warning! I was looking at Surface at the store waiting for the New Year sales. Now I'll just stick with a ChromeBook.

Facebook is an advertising platform. You might not be paying for it, but corporations are paying for the data and eyeballs. As it is often said: "If you are not paying, then you are the commodity being sold."

If you are not charging then you don't have a business and investors want to see revenue and a return on their investments. With the small number of active users, perhaps you should look at selling your technology to a company that wil

I never liked having to install Flash plug-ins. And I hated all the gunk that was created with Flash. So I quarantined a single older notebook to run the few Flash dependent apps that I needed to use from time to time. Ok, so much for my b

First things first, your health is important. See a GP and possibly also get a referral to a suitable therapist. You appear to be severely depressed and understandably so. So professional help is critical. You are not alone. Many of us hav

I thought that the concept of NodeJS was fantastic. But in everyday use, I found it bloated and many of the libraries of rather dubious quality. After trying to use NodeJS for several projects, I have gone back to using mostly Python based

In my view one way of economic thinking for developers is to look at the specific value that their work delivers to the client or a specific business niche. I see myself as a problem solver. Most of the time the solution is a system of sy
