This seems to be less about Mercurial vs Git, and more Jon Chu vs Git. Although I haven't used Mercurial, all of the issues he brings up I found really easy to solve when I started using Git (~2 years ago). The number and quality of online

Branching was a pain for me when using SVN - far too much hassle to keep on top of it all; All branches are visible to everyone and merging between them was slow. With Git, branching is simple and really fast. It can also be done in such a

I've hit this problem before - I use a separate stylesheet for each logical (in my mind) group of styles - header, footer, main content, blog, and so on. This way, I only have a few styles in each file, and it's easier for me to manage (YMM

I like it - it's a nice next step in their homepage doodles. I tend to miss the doodles as I search from the address bar, and only end up on Google's homepage when I'm looking at them.

I'd release free accounts now, and put the paid accounts on hold until you've had chance to see how your site runs under normal usage. If you get people using it now, then * They will uncover bugs that have been missed * They will show you

Awesome! This seems to be a common scenario - people hear about or see the site, go to it, get excited, then forget about it. I think I'm losing out because my message is confused or not consistent enough to stick. Maybe I don't have a clea

Haha! I got it - don't worry. I saw your post a few days ago - moving stuff. Hope you're getting better as each day passes.

That's a really thorough answer - wish I could upvote more than once! I'll put this into practice, and I'm going to start by building the survey you describe. Do you have any pointers as to what questions I should be asking, or know of an e

Awesome - thanks for this! I'll definitly be looking to go through the freelance route rather than hiring someone full time straight away.

I think I would do this if I felt I was confident in marketing - my skills are definitly centered on development work rather than networking and presenting though (not that that is what I think marketing is about). My point is; I dont think

I'd post dev stuff about your app to your personal blog, and stuff relating to the features / marketing of your app to its own blog. This way, you'll keep building the audience to your personal blog, which might come in useful if you decide
