Get a free account with http://wistia.com/ , they let you do cool stuff like calls to action and capture emails. They also give you the stats on the video, so you know which parts users watch, which parts they rewind etc. Also can the OP b

Hey I'd like a simple app that tracks how many people click each option, sets a cookie etc I realize it's pretty trivial for a javascript dev to do, but I don't want to spend time finding someone etc. Of course I'm open to a ready made scri

Hi Siah, I'm sure it's definitely possible depending on her skill set and what size companies she wants to get an intership with. I think you would have a pretty hard time finding a small startup that would turn down an offer for UX help fr

Kind of puts in perspective what we are all working on/aiming for. Think a web app is hard, try building a car company or going to space. The dude is Tony Stark.

Here's a few places it falls short with reaching mainstream consumers, I realize many people may not care about that, but I think it could be a viable alternative to windows or OSX for many people if it were easier to get started with and u

Most business owners are not looking online for a website/marketing guy, they typically chose based on recommendations and people they already know. This means there are much easier ways to get clients than seo or adwords. Focus on people a

I would like to see the biggest chunk "work" broken down into what most people are actually doing. Time spent on social media, checking email, phone etc.

I'm going to guess because it's on thing to make a promise/statement in a traditional political campaign, another thing entirely to make a statement on reddit, e.g. people won't just forget in 5 minutes what you said. I think they wanted to

While the term used is irrelevant. I would say there is a big difference between the typical marketer and someone that's able to execute something like the airbnb/craigslist integration (and by execute I don't mean code every line). Or some

Researched vpns recently, didn't find the free stuff good enough. Ended up going paid with boxpn.com Interested in what other HN peeps are using. Guessing roll your own pretty popular here.

Confirming demand before spending time/money on development is a smart move, most video games don't break even. The benefit to the consumer is they get to support a game that otherwise might not have been made if they choose to. They get a

You have freedom as defined by your government. Want two wives, nope sorry. Marry someone same sex, maybe depends where you live.

At I guess I would say it's going to be advertising. e.g. megaupload except 90% of profits on downloads the artist has endorsed goes to them. Instead of 100% to megaupload. Probably with targeted upsells for more content from the artist as

I have learnt/used as reference way more from w3schools than I ever will from the people who created w3fools. So kudos to them for criticizing the crap out of the site? (I do also see what they are doing as valuable, but I'd agree it's need

Great to hear, I'm just praying they remove the need for a social security number in the US. One of the main reasons we chose the US to incorporate in was for access to business tools like this. But with neither founder having a SS number w

There is also http://thefoundation.io/ , free forums carry far too much noise and arm chair experts imo. I've also heard good things about micropreneur academy and looks like startupplays.com/ might be trying to get something going.

This talk gives a good intro to Meteor and after watching it, really doesn't seem like they the kind of guys to not embrace NPM if it could work as well for them as building out their own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAcN3JyQoyY

I'd disagree that being born to make things is entrepreneurship. If you just keep making things and not selling anything...I guess the buzzword is wantrepreneur. I totally relate to putting things off you enjoy. If you don't change somethin
