I'm in a similar position, except I'm not trying to get new users. In fact, I'm trying to maintain a very small set of users so I can test ideas on them before I try to go bigger. Getting users is great, but getting traction, meaning users

After reading your article and looking at the site, I think you might be pulling the plug too early. I have been in the same boat before. You spend all the time to build something, you believe it's got legs and then....radio silence. Then y

I really like this. Great idea. The main issue I see is pricing. I would offer a yearly option. Also, creating a Lightroom plugin would go a long way with more serious photographers.

I work right in the flight path of a major airport. Planes overhead all day long. Now I can tell where they're going. Too cool.

I'm not sure the product has value. Look, if you want to learn a framework that's great, but I wouldn't place much hope in the concept as it's been done in many places. I would recommend using Ruby on Rails, maybe trying Code Ingiter (PHP)

First off, I really like this blog. Really well written and entertaining. He has good advice to boot. While I live within 10 miles of my workplace, there's no way I could bike it (a 25 minute ride all in parks). Reason being, I live in Ariz

Yeah, don't use the 64bit. The non-64 worked great for me. After that go to the installer directory and run the installer.

This is awesome. I've been looking for something like this for Windows for a long time. You put some serious effort into this and it's beautiful. FYI - for those looking to run this: open the non-64 bit solution, build it, then go to the in

HTML, CSS and Javascript so they can at least translate an idea into a prototype/mockup that expresses the idea. That is, assuming a web app idea.

Wow, your story is very familiar. I experienced similar challenges with my first and second startup attempts. The nice part is, you can try again and bring these lessons with you.

Ah, well if it requires FB, that would explain it. I was behind a corporate firewall that blocks FB.

Not sure what's wrong with the site, but the top left is just one big empty area of white space and the get started button does nothing at all. I've tried both FF 6.0 and Chrome.

Is he the guy who knows what needs to be done. Knows how to do it, but doesn't do it? Then I think he's the lazy guy. Or maybe he's just above the pain of doing it; ie, the lazy guy.

I would suggest starting the "idea" with data about paying customers. There's a lot of data out there. Find a market, figure out what they need/want and build a POC. Figure out if your market will pay for it and garner feedback. You might j
