Check out the home page: http://www.codeyouridea.com/ :o I don't necessarily agree about the long text blob however, I had to read that to really understand what he was doing.

Well, I've had millions of downloads of my apps, so not exactly "no one".

99% of my apps require 0 permissions. I really believe that a lot of my success comes from this. I never download anything that requires anything other than the Internet permission, maybe Location, and sometimes SD Card modifications (thou

Anyone know how it works? EDIT: It appears to only work on the Motorola Xoom or in Google Chrome. Is this what everyone else is seeing?

I'm with the poster. I play reruns of TV shows in iTunes throughout my day. The white noise from meaningless TV is one of the only ways I stay productive. I find it 100% impossible to work with Music on. I just can't handle it. Every 3 m

I think the real irony is that the guy who started this giant time-suck for startups can be considered the "face" of startups in America :)

You are missing his point. He could have replaced guitar with model airplane building, riding bikes, making friendship bracelets, or training a giraffe. The point is, good time management makes time for the things you need to make time for

As a successful android dev, I want the window gone. If they want to email me for a refund, fine, I'll refund with no questions asked, but letting people play my paid apps while they wait for the doctor to call them in and just getting a re

But asking for the username after sign-up gets you the user's email address. If they don't create a username, you can now provide direct support and ask if they need help with the next step in the sign-up process, etc.

The way I read it, you didn't destroy anything. You had a moment of panic, and could have created real problems. Regardless, same lessons learned right? :) Whether the server is gone or not, it could have been, and the way we work changes

:) I didn't mean to offend you, so sorry. Your services appear to be SaaS, but I don't see much in terms of a design tool in your list. My company needs a tool like what he's providing, and I had absolutely no trouble with his sign-up pro

It's just got to be dead simple. The reason I keep commenting is because I want to be your customer. This tool is exactly something I would need throughout the year. For example. Today. Our company just received approval back on a graphi

Maybe. Who is your customer? How many designs a month does your typical customer create? If it's an independent designer / web developer, then they may create 2 websites a month for $2k - $4k per month per customer, and that's only 2 desi

I can see someone going in here, modifying one design about a 100 times, exporting them all, and then just keeping those archived. You may want to allow the ability to create unlimited designs for free, but you only get to hit the export bu

I completely agree. With a service like this, I think someone would know instantly whether or not they were going to use this service in the future, and having the option to do 3 designs just delays the inevitable - that they will pay. BU

You have to think about whether this person would ever actually become a customer of yours. From my experience, you could spend the next couple weeks building a perfect sandbox for people who will NEVER buy your service, or you can leave th

Impact is only $99. If you spend a week working on something, wouldn't it have been worth it just to buy Impact? I'm all for the learning process, but if you are trying to get to a final product, then sometimes it's about finding the righ

Exactly except that a problem came up, which it still could in the future even with these changes they are making, and when it does, you can probably rely on them to fix those problems because that is what you are paying for - someone else

As someone who has been in the position of having to explain to my customers that our host went down, yes, they did understand, and because I had shown them through the years how hard I worked fir them not one expected a refund or anything.

I'm just saying it isn't fair to Heroku to take 100% responsibility. Do you now have to go to the customers of YOUR app hosted at Heroku and take 100% of the blame? Or do you tell them it was Heroku? Were YOU using more hosts than just H

So you are saying if they are taking 100% of the responsibility they assume 100% of the liability? This is exactly why I'm suggesting they may have put their foot in their mouth. SOME of the fault reasonably lies with Amazon in my opinion

by dpcan 16y ago
I get what they are doing, and I would probably handle it the same way, but I think it is perfectly ok for them to place some blame here as their downtime WAS because aws was down technically. I think they took it too far by taking 100% of

What the hell? Why is everyone taking responsibilty and giving amazon a free ride? I'm a firm believer that only victims make excuses, and it's admirable to take responsibility, and maybe they should have more redundancy in place, but the
