Building the prototype took two noon-midnight Sundays, and we started promoting it after the second one. First, I posted the site on a local subreddit, which got us up to about 20 users. We started telling friends and friends-of-friends, an

As a project last year I wrote a locally-focused dating site with a friend. It has a similar premise to "Check Him Out", mentioned in the article, but we didn't use a shopper/product metaphor, opting instead to be straightforward in emphasi

Presumably at least someone (i.e. the investors) means to turn a profit. Who knows how they'll go about it though.

And a bit shorter still :D. Down to 102 chars now. for i in range(1,101):print "Fizz" if not i%3 else '' + "Buzz" if not i%5 else str(i) if (i%3) else '' Edit: Down to 82 characters now. I'm not sure if this would work on every Pyt

I don't know why I'm such a sucker for this sort of thing. I couldn't get it to score me, but here's 104 chars of Clojure: (for [i(range 100):let[d #(= (mod i %) 0)]](println(cond(d 15)"FizzBuzz"(d 3)"Fizz"(d 5)"Buzz":else i)))

Depends on a) how comfortable you are working with HTML to begin with, b) what functionality you're implementing with your DSL, and c) how many people are working on the project? If you're someone with a lot of Python experience and no HTML

Perhaps one ought to compromise on a "minimum viable fork."

Depends what you want to build. Flask is better suited to apps that are a) small and single-purpose, or b) highly nonstandard. Django has a lot of stuff built right in, much of which you won't need. But it's nice to have a database abstract

They didn't even disable https, so the site was still fully usable.

This is why their plan for small databases is free. The pain comes as your data grows.

As a relative idiot when it comes to this sort of thing, I'd like to insert the following supplementary question: what is the sort of application/dataset for which Mongo is particularly suited? I've used it on small projects, and have enjoy

It was good to see numbers (relative ones anyhow) for your switch from contact-for-quote to standard pricing. Do you have any early insight into your changes in revenue/signups from this new switch?

I did the same thing with a text message instead of a call a few years back: http://datebreaker.heroku.com/ It's almost ridiculous how easy twilio (and heroku) make setting up a project like this. Edit: That said, I really like your desig

Off-topic from the theme of your post, if you really want to learn about git, you could take the path that I did, which was to go by way of Mercurial (otherwise known as hg). Hg is simpler than git in many ways. There's no "staging" for cha

He talks in very generic terms, so I think you can gauge this to be the overall intent. But, I would have some reservations about the challenges of live-evaluation in other languages. It's not insurmountable by any means, but using a lisp r

Whenever I see a story like this, I have my hopes dashed when it turns out that the guy with the side project is just extremely talented. Well done.
