This is a great starting list, would it be possible to even go a step further and put starting times for each of them. Of course many of the steps continue to go on long after they start... does a developer ever stop reading HN? But many of

Sounds like you've made some great steps already. A technical co-founder could really take you to the next level. I would however not rule out working with them part time before, as jumping head on in with a new technical cofounder is a bit

Good clean look, like the ability to instantly view without signing in, though I can see good and bad from that as well. First its a low barrier of entry to observe, but that could deter others from as openly engaging, and also was slightly

If you're in the bay area finding talent is going to be especially hard, not because it's not here, but its already in such demand. The jobs area of stackoverflow and github could be great bets for finding people. As these are newer resourc

If I'm truly scaling a project I usually go with AWS. Unfortunately this does mean setting up a load with regards to sys admin items, often including some form of load balancing if you're truly attempting to scale a site. For multiple djang

Really like the idea, will be great to get an idea of whats on here while working on other items. The voice could definitely use some work as after a few minutes it becomes a bit painful and I naturally begin tuning it out. Can I put in a r

Nice clean example, though I was unable to actually like it. Does facebook actively monitor and block such uses, or is there some flaw in the code that doesn't allow the like to occur?

There's typically a lot that's required in growing and scaling a web business. Often its a bit more than just learning to program and building your site. Technical co founders are generally hard to find, because the good ones get taken quic

Nice example, very quick and simple and well worth people setting up while they're still prelaunch. I'd also recommend starting to add in your meta tags and ensure you're submitted to search engines, meanwhile tracking with some more generi

I feel like a lot of startups might find value in outsourcing some of these items, but depending on the startup many of those things will be core competency. Server setup isn't something you want to completely outsource because without it y

There's a couple of similar sites that exist. They're lighter on the features of brainstorming, but I could see both easily expanding to have these types of features. The first: http://www.startedby.com is specifically for throwing out id

MyRegistry has done this, the big thing they haven't done it price comparison, and their design is absolutely begging for someone to do it better. We were on HN a few days ago, and hoping to do just that. We let users price compare while al

Our site, which was on HN a few days back actually does the price comparison shopping, as well as integrating with traditional registries. There was a lot that went in under the cover of how to import and push a registry to a traditional re

To add to the vesting discussion, there's typically a cliff. What this means is that you have access to none of your options until that time, a 1 year cliff is pretty common. If you see in your packet something about a 1 year cliff this mea

Being surrounded by like minded people definitely helps along with working on things you find interesting. One disparity I'd say I've found is large corporations don't put a value on developers the same as a software company does. Within a
