Thanks. I wasn't aware of this. I generally just look at changes in my google analytics numbers rather than absolute values to see if I'm doing better or worse. Admittedly not the most sophisticated GA approach.

Agree. I don't actually consider it a fail. I generally treat forays like this as exploratory research, and like many other situations, you have to pay for information. 6 invitations != 6 conversions, but yes, I'd agree that 25/conversion w

yes, i understand what you are saying. if i'm clear, you are saying, "the backend dev won't build the right thing if they don't don't a good UI person to guide WHAT to build". Exactly ZERO startups that require _A_ backend to be built have

Its not a question of understanding that those have value. the original post is just saying that there are more things that require attention than he can address. All startups work with constraints. For some startups design & UX are le

Stuff like this has turned up a few times, but I feel like they never become reality. I signed up, and I hope this one becomes real, but if it doesn't I am crossing my fingers that someone will do the legwork to make it actually happen.

i like the idea of this. however, in practice i don't know how to implement it or draw the line between "enough iterations" and too much time spent on iterations. Right now, with a small, strapped team, my primary problem is finding enough
