I found that, FOR ME, the most commonly requested feature only affects my lowest common denominator of users. It seems that the most requested feature on my primary app is a very "social" feature, meaning only the most "social" people were

Precisely. Everywhere you go in the real world, someone sends you a form to fill out and they tell you where to "submit" it. This is why Internet forms started off saying "submit" - because it makes sense.

Mixergy is probably your closest major competitor in my opinion. They seem to have a lot of solo-entrepreneurs on the site. What keeps "me" coming back for more are real numbers. If developers will share their real numbers like profits, d

Yes, but, for example, I wouldn't want to be the next entrepreneur on your site at this point. I would wait until there were more people on the site, because at this point, if I were to send you a picture of myself in a tie, but then every

Not true. I care a lot about how the employees of a company present themselves.

I deleted my original post because I want to be clear that I don't believe Josh's reputation was hurt in any way. If it came across that way, I want it gone. I think his app and business look very interesting, and I LOVE what you are doing

It's $300 more than an iPad. Sticker shock? Really? It has USB ports. It runs Windows 7. For guys like me who are all Windows, this doesn't seem high priced at all. Sure, it would be nice if it were $699, but it has Windows. For me, it

Yes. Me. I have refrained from submitting my apps now for 2 reasons: 1) They say I have to get their approval 14 days before submitting new apps to Similar Services 2) 20% of "List Price" that they can set???? I'm still confused on this,

I tend to buy things that solve a problem correctly and add value to my life. How I spend my money doesn't rely on "what it is" in any way. Is it a "Chrome Extension"? "Standalone Product"? Doesn't matter. I don't "expect" something to be

What I wouldn't give to watch YouTube videos of some of these designers putting these sites together. Everything from how they get the background textures, to adding gradients, shadows, altering colors, everything. It would be amazing. I'

Yes and No. I come here first, but I'm on Reddit as much. Never comment at Reddit though. Digg is toast. Google News is just "news" so I don't really bother, and I've completely dumped all RSS readers. I'm not going to "self filter" blogs

None. I don't care what people say or how they say it because we're all different. However, since it just came to mind, on StackOverflow.com, I despise when someone pops in and says "read the documentation" then provides a link. As if I h

Just leaving your hand on the handle for another 2 seconds would probably feel warm or a very slight vibration. I'm having a guilty-pleasure chuckle right now because the "kings" of UI are getting sloshed with soapy water because of a bad d

In my opinion, the problem with reminder services is that I have to remember to use them. They can ping me all day via email, twitter, facebook, SMS, whatever, but it takes only 1 or 2 pings before my subconscious trains itself to ignore th

It isn't "stealing" if the user agrees to the app's User Agreement that probably mentions what's happening with the data that is collected.

Yes, but most phones with this resolution report a density of 240dpi and auto sale images to fit the full screen. Tablets on the other hand have 800x480 screens but report a density of 160dpi and images don't scale up and look like little i

"To make it easier for developers to distribute and manage their products, we will introduce support for device targeting based on screen sizes and densities" This is MUSIC TO MY EARS. So many of my 1-star ratings are from users who have ve

I completely agree. Too many users will purchase an app to play for the evening somewhere (while on a trip, for example) and just refund the next morning. It's unfair to the developers. 15 minutes is ample time to determine if the app is

It's when the job gets hard and boring that I forge forward because I KNOW that's the point when most developers stop and the competition will be less after launch. I just completed the working prototype of my next game. It's RIGHT NOW tha

I'm going to be negative, sorry. I think your biggest difference from Patrick is that you are in a B2C situation where he's definitely in a B2B situation. A teacher or event planner needs to make bingo cards to save time - which is money. I

I'm 31 and it looks like something I'll definitely be trying - especially to help convert some of my Android apps for release in the App store.
