I have 4 kids. I work from home. My wife works 11 hours a day away from the house. I feel like this world is full of "can't" people who aren't willing to do the extra work. We seem to have enough time to comment on Hacke

And yet, with a little time, patience, and dedication from parents, all children can be taught to be respectful, focus, and learn the way we need them to learn during a strange and complicated time. This world is full of can't can&#x27

PHP was just PHP for years. Now I don’t even recognize what’s going on when reading code in a language I’ve used for my entire software development career. It’s like a new language. I want to be done with tech some days. I just want to do m

If Apple removes Fortnite from the app store, it'll become a class action lawsuit in my opinion. Kids have spent hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars on vbucks on their phones. If you just take that away..... you owe some people some

LOL, yep, it's tongue in cheek, did not catch that. He has a point. But as an entrepreneur, I'll probably go through all of this again and again and again. Can't help myself.

I'm not still selling on Google Play, and haven't for a while, but if you're interested in seeing where Google currently remits taxes by state and country, the link is below: https://support.google.com/googlep

I think Apple makes it easy, but we were only on Android at the time, and it took months to finally pay all our taxes. I was sending pennies to counties. It was awful.

I’m looking at Fastspring because of the tax remittances they do. I don’t think a lot of developers know their actual tax requirements when selling software. A good accountant will surprise a lot of devs :/

Hard to say. Being one of the first games of its kind, the free version got to about a million downloads really fast. I didn’t get many emails even with that many players because I was really careful to make it bug free and work on most dev

I think the first $70-80k were in the first year, then I made about 60 from games over the following 2 years.... if my memory is correct, and I think it is.

Do you have a game or other kind of app?

I’m not sure if I want to share the titles, but the games were in the sports category. First of their kind on Android Market before it became Google Play. They were really feature heavy and bug-free. One of them sat at top 3 in Android Mark

Google Play is starting to remit taxes by state, but they haven’t always done this. It was/is up to the seller. And if you sell with PayPal or something on your own site, check all the laws of where your product is being downloaded, yo

I had a game reach about $600 per day in revenue for a few months way back in 2010. Overall I think it made around $100K, and another game made about $30K. So, even though I was making money, I still wanted out. The reasons came down to tho

Twitter is the worst with this as it ONLY has a heart. Even if you disagree, you click the heart to save it. There is no way to show another emotion and it desperately needs something like this, similar to Facebook. And Facebook needs one m

Quibi is like TikTok with celebrities that I have to pay for. I know the content is scripted, longer, and well-produced, but it seriously just feels like expensive TikTok, and I couldn't justify paying for it when the only content I wa

I was a part of a project like this. A LOT of money was dumped into development, we built stuff from scratch, took months and months of hard work - and it felt revolutionary. Then HUGE COMPANY X released the exact same product but 50x furth

I had a client that said they wanted one because it made them look like they did all kinds of stuff. They didn’t care if it was used. It was all an illusion. It needed to portray: “We are big enough for you to consider doing business with u

The only reason I would never go this direction with my business is because you could wake up tomorrow and the features of your app become a standard feature of Shopify and you’re instantly out of business. Think flashlight apps for iPhone,

Is anyone using an open source statistics system that's as simple as simple analytics? Maybe even something that can be setup to run stats for multiple clients from our own VPS?

I keep running into organizations or industries that don't spend money on tech. They don't put it in the budget, or they choose to continue to use volunteers to accomplish tasks that really should be done with software. I am in si

There's not even a <body> tag. It just has some header information and jumps right in to the text, but he took the time to add Google Analytics. It's so bizarre.

I loved Digg.com before the redesign fiasco. And Diggnation was fun. Rev3 was cool too.
