Hey, I was in a similar boat. I also resigned to start my own thing about a year ago. I had a well paying job in one of the top tech companies. However, I felt unsatisfied with my job responsibilities and disconnected between what I enjoy d

Quick question. Lets assume the best and this idea takes off. How do you plan to scale? Seems like you have to put a lot of effort into printing and mailing the postcards for $1.99.

From what I've heard from my recruiter friends, you want to prioritize flow, readability, and scan-ability over flashy. Recruiters are often at-times swamped with thousands of resumes (and even more at big companies). They'll spend at most

Hey! I am the owner/creator/customer support/janitor/one-man-wrecking-crew of Savng.com. I am pleasantly surprised to see it mentioned as a good example of Bootstrap based sites. On a unrelated note, I am not sure how you found it since I h

Unrelated. But I want to say serpIQ is great for SEO purposes. Its one of the legit SEO tools that I would consider paying for.

Don't take me wrong. I am not arguing that the Tinytrunk should allow arbitrary pseudonyms. I fully understand the point that Fookyoung made. That he want to make sure real, accountable users are selling things on Tinytrunk. Obviously, Fook

I glad this feedback is useful. To show how potentially creepy this is, I googled your users. I was able to find the user's linkedin and twitter in the 1st page of the search results. Anyways, good luck. I love the idea, and your design is

A small feedback. If I was a seller, I would be extremely uncomfortable with Tinytrunk showing my full-name in all of the items that I am trying to sell. I can foresee some privacy issues with this problem. For example, People can easily f

Thanks for the feedback :D I need a good alternative to Arial. Do you have any other recommendations from google web fonts?

by chlee 15y ago
Nice list! But I feel you may have overlooked some other great google web fonts. For example, Open Sans and Arimo are two good Sans fonts created by the awesome Steve Matteson. I am currently using Arimo for my new project, and it s a nice

Its a psychological effect called Aesthetic-Usability effect (as noted in the book Universal Principles of Design). Given two equal equipment/software/things/etc, the user will perceive the more-aesthetic designs to be easier to use than it

There are a few issues at play here. 1) Many of the companies are with working with low profit margins, i.e. the profit margin is <5%. With rising costs in both raw supplies and worker wages + low demand from abroad, many of these compa

Are there blog hosting services that one can use in a subfolder? AFAIK, both tumblr and posterous only supports subdomains but not folders.

I refused to deal credit card based payments b'c of chargebacks risks. With chargebacks, the credit card company will always side with their customers, often leaving the seller with no recourse to retrieve the money or the item sold. In add

I used to do lots of reselling and arbitrage on Craigslist during my poor student days. Here's my experience. As a general rule of thumb, always ask for cash. Or ask for a cashier's check if the buyer is not comfortable with carrying large

I thought about incorporating Varnish into my side-project as well. However, Varnish seems to be a [potential] hassle when you account for VCL, ESI, and etc. It also adds an extra layer or indirection and complexity as you've mentioned. Wit

It's mainly due to the lack of human resources (e.g. engineers, testers, PMs, and etc.) You have to understand that the Hyper-V was a extremely team (less than 100 people) during the Win7 time frame. At the time, the team's #1 priority was

If the owners didn't take ~700 million of the table from the last rounds of founding, groupon would be in a better financial situation than they are today.
