First Scottish unicorn? Perhaps Skyscanner is up there too after a $800m valuation in 2013. ...and a rare success story for public funding from Scottish Enterprise. I worked at a spectacularly bad startup funded to the tune of $1m by Scotti

Ha, I didn't know this still existed. I 'hacked' our school PCs running Windows 3.11 using this technique. The sysadmin locked down every possible way to run executables apart from those he exposed in Program Manager. Of cour

I have been speaking to a French lawyer about this exact scenario (UK company employing a French resident). I've been quoted a cost of around 8% of salary to be retained by this subsidiary- hardly insubstantial. Alternatively they can

Don't think so. There was some discussion following the announcement but it never came to anything afaik. The time and effort mythz et al put in would more than justify paying for a license vs taking on the mantle in my case.

This. I've been using ServiceStack pre-commercial for over two years. The clean, flexible, RESTful routing and lean extensions are a breath of fresh air compared to previous frustrations with the hodge-podge WCF 'REST toolkit&#x27

Fellow Shopify app developer here. How do you attribute the value of a backlink to an order: same-session or something smarter? You rightly highlight that Google Analytics is your competitor, and from speaking with many stores I can confirm

Busloads of tourists rolled into Talisker (Diageo) on the August day we visited. We sat in the Talisker 'experience' while waiting for our time slot. After an hour we were ready and got taken around by a suited guide with gilded l

We use Setmore: http://www.setmore.com/ . Very happy with it and the developers are responsive to issues (even from free users like me). I found many customers were booking appointments without figuring out the equivalent ti

Love the concept. Purchased. But I fear the settings are going to undo a lot of people. Bug: on the initial state it looks like everything is included (as it should be). However when I select Styles > Kinetic art, press 'change art

I'm on it ;) Small businesses want to buy services like they buy apps and products online. We're building that. And it is difficult. Mail me if it sounds interesting (especially designers and developers): me at daniel sim .co.uk

If you're building a marketplace why would you not seed it with what you have easiest access to? If you can perform a service in-house that will in future be provided by a marketplace seller and the demand is already there: do it. User

If you have a clear plan to productise the professional services and not provide them using people on your payroll, and make this transparent to investors, it is in no way lying. In fact, I'd call it a smart way to kickstart a two-side

I'm a one man bootstrapped business (at the moment). Judging by my help@ emails, most customers perceive my company to be a bunch of people. I don't hide it but I don't shout it out either. My customers tend to be small too,
