I am the creator of this. Have been building this over the past year or so. Technologies include: HTML5 canvas, CSS filters and a lot of JS. To give you an idea of what you can make with ChronoFlo Timeline Maker, we created an interactive t

Congrats on a great product. I developed an SAAS calendar service - https://www.chronoflocalendar.com - which alas has not proved very successful, thus far. So is heartening to hear that it is possible to make a living out of ca

Brings back fond memories. That was the book that got me started programming. I didn't even have a computer at the time but loved reading about the games and trying to understand the code by going through it in my head.

That's certainly true. Boshirov's photos also show a mole above his right eye. This is missing in the Chepiga photo. But that does not prove they are not the same person as a mole or mark could potentially have appeared later in l

I don't see any reference in the article to a trained government analyst having confirmed the resemblance. And where do I claim to be more qualified than anyone in this?

I think a bit skepticism is due here. Their "proof" that Chepiga and Boshirov are the same person rests almost solely on a supposed strong resemblance between a photo of Chepiga taken in 2003 and photos of Boshirov from 2009 and 2

Thanks for taking the time to comment. At present, we are still working out how people might use our software. But we would definitely consider licensing it to third parties to incorporate into their products - probably on an annual license

That is the book I used to learn programming. The funny thing is that I got the book several years before I got a computer. I would in effect read through the game programmes and play them in my head - the simpler ones, that is.

When I view your website in my browser (safari 5.1.10 on Mac OSX 10.6.8), the home page refreshes every second or so. This is unlikely to be good for your servers.

I use both Rackspace and Linode. Both have been pretty good but Rackspace has been phenomenally reliable - I'm talking 100% uptime for the past couple of years (according to Pingdom) for my main service. Linode has been less reliable,

This is a really useful article on a rarely covered aspect of running a small start-up. Thanks.

I have individual teachers paying $100 a year for software I have created. You should definitely charge for that main account, or limit the functionality of the main account (ie, they can only create five private accounts) unless they upgra

Looks really good. Why don't you offer a 30 day free trial and then charge a monthly or yearly fee. If you don't try to make money out of it, you won't make money out of it.

Great article and perfect timing - I have just submitted my first app to the Mac store. Two questions: You mention in the article that some of your customers amended bad reviews - did they do that on their own volition or did you encourage

The beauty of being both a coder and designer is that you can conceive, build and launch a product completely on your own. This makes setting up your own start-up (or lifestyle business) a lot simpler. My advice for any developer who wants

I think you are wrong here. How do you know that single-founder-tech-guy-and-computer businesses are so vanishingly rare? Small businesses, at least in the UK, do not involve that much bureaucracy. You hire an accountant to deal with that.

Most developers don't aspire to run a crazy dominate-the-market-or-implode VC-funded start-up. They just want to run a little life style business that will pay them well and allow them to work on what they want. This is what you are competi

I disagree. The front page design is perfect. Clean, simple and elegant. Those who can't work it out aren't going to use it anyway.

How do you intend to make money? You could end up with a significant server bill if lots of people start using the service. Great service, btw!
