This reminds me of WebRTC and SIP technology. Chris Matthieu built something like this which is now http://www.Twelephone.com . But here you have to log in with your twitter account. Not 100% "I own everything" type of

Great idea, hard to execute in the real world. I know, I've done it. I built an app with Xamarin about 3.5 years ago. Released it as an MVP to the App Store. I wrote the Android version as well and released it (but went native android

If you need some code to implement this in an app, I wrote an example Simple EULA provider here: http://www.donnfelker.com/android-a-simple-eula-for-your-and... Download, include it in your app. DONE. Move onto the next pro

The authors sentiments about why he disliked Medium are the exact reasons I've not moved over there yet. My concerns center around building an audience and being able to stay in contact with them. How am I supposed to give away an ema

You don't have to be a single developer to build an app that does this. You can be a sales guy, marketing guy, etc. The power is in knowing how and when to delegate. In the soloprenuer world this is done through outsourcing. Many folks

This is why I wont move to SF area. Housing prices are insane. Not worth living in a cave for that amount of money, I don't care who I work for.

NOTE: This doesn't mean you'll be a success. You may have found a market, but you need to do more customer development in order to really figure out if the market is large enough to sustain.

Best advise I can give here is to do what Steve Blank, Martel, and many other advisers/founders/etc say - If you can get a check for the product. Then you've sold it. Then there is demand. Until that money is in your hand, you just have an

Been working remotely 100% of the time for over two years and my productivity is through the roof. In the office? Show up at 8 leave at 5? I'd get annoyed, burned out, not want to do anything and I has become a total clock watcher. 5pm, I'm

Stupid auto correct. Should say "the startup scene is growing" not frowning. Doh.

I was also born and raised in California (Redding to be exact). I've since lived in the bay, NYC, Minneapolis (amazing city BTW just freaky cold winters) and AZ. I'm currently in AZ (for the third time) and am staying. The startup scene out

That's annoying and I'd probably walk away if I encountered that out of the box. Seems to be another silo`ing issue of dev teams in MS unfortunately. They have folks smarty enough to fix these types of issues.
