Well, I don't usually listen to podcasts, but I'm really glad I took some time to listen to yours. As everything else, a lot of this common marketing BS are very seductive when you're in need. They're usually advertised

I've already used a messaging app for couples with my girlfriend. I do remember they had some nice features, like sending kisses and hugs, but we eventually stopped using it. Mainly because we had a lot of messages not being sent. Curr

In my experience, we're able to create a lot more engagement using Facebook, but you have to consider that we're a niche startup in Brazil (where CPC seems to be cheaper). On the other hand, most of the users we got from Facebook

It definitely helps, traskjd! You really got me thinking by mentioning the effort necessary to provide support. Initially I thought that the whole service is kind of self-explanatory but we're receiving a flood of questions about the p

Now I'm not sure whether I'm being too pessimistic or just if we're really very poor in here. hahaha Actually, doctors usually make a lot of money (at least US$70k/year) here in Brazil if compared to other careers but, u

Yeah, unfortunately I have the same perception as you have about how they (although I'm a brazilian myself) value apps and online services here. The income of my target audience seems to be around US$10100/year (or R$32500). That&

Thanks for your help, mtmail! They really know how to communicate. Maybe the path really is through transparency.

Although it's somehow complicated to define what is the real minimum, as Joe demonstrated, I'd only like to recommend another concept that I've read about and from which I hope you could take good things out of it: The Minimu

I'd like to congratulate you, not only for your app (that is pretty nice) but for being open to criticism and help a lot of new developers making your app open. Thanks!

Maybe with your video it'll be clear, but just looking to your layout, I can't understand what you're going to do, so there isn't any motive to "tell you" my email. So, I suggest you to, with few words, describe what's your purpose. You're

First, I'd like to say that you've made a very good job! My suggestions (I'll try to focus on things that haven't be already suggested): * Try to get rid of this image slider. It's difficult to pay attention with this huge thing moving. * Y

It's good to know the point of view of another WP developer, so thank you for your feedback! I've also worked with WordPress and, as I said, it's really a very nice product, but it's not as user friendly as it should be and it probably won'

It's a very interesting point! I'm focused to make all the process easier (and the WP admin panel is full of boring stuff, in my opinion), so maybe the creation of the whole product could be a natural evolution of the plugin instead of a ne

Your feedback was really important to make me think about which kind of user I should focus initially. First, I was thinking how to get attention of the regular user, but you made me think about how it could be a lot more useful to develope

First of all, thanks for your feedback! It's really important to know the experiences of people that already worked on this area, I'll consider everything that you've said. How it's important to me to store my thoughts and my work on my own

It's different because it's a powerful approach, I think. Doing this, I'll make every blog open to a lot of different applications to interact with it's content. By example, a user will be able to comment on an article published on a blog h

I'm very interested about it too. A non-hosted web app can be easily copied, and the solution that I've found to this issue was to bet on crowdfunding to develop and make profit with services. Now I'm preparing the ideas to launch and as so

I agree with you and it's a very interesting point, but I also think that there is another one. Let's suppose that you're developing some tool that could solve problems of a lot of people. It's natural that you try to sell this to them (the
