Signed up! I've always been interested in spaced repetition but never had the patience to learn the "right" way to do it. This looks pretty helpful. Do you think this AI x repetition concept works better for some types of lea

It seems like marketing is king on the app store. I'd love to see some success stories that aren't taptaptap (and the MacHeist juggernaut and their 600,000 person mailing list) just to see how one can bootstrap themselves up some buzz. Have

I can't get enough of these types of blog posts. The app store is a fascinating study of marketing, economics and good ol' bootstrapping. Good luck in your endeavors and thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed the slides for the most part. The importance of PR for startups cannot be overstated. Get out there, get to know people, go to conferences, talk to media, be personable. If you aren't this type of person, then hire one.

You're also using iconography that resembles an iPhone, another no-no in the App store. Looks like getting rejected is a one way ticket to hypesville, though, so good luck with that part.

Yep. And I don't have to bear the time cost of the interface downloading and rendering. As a user and not a developer I will take a native app over a web app any day. But giving this article any credence is giving it too much credit. It's s
