Question: what's the verification process, outside of stripe? Say I get someone to authenticate through my "cool twitter app" with permission to post to their timeline. What would stop me from posting a msg on their timeline sending money t

+1 here as well. I say never too old, but be prepared for the long haul. Many startup opportunities that would jumpstart your business favor the younger entrepreneurs with less to lose and/or less responsibilities. There's also supposedly a

Your words are true, but not necessarily in my case. I think I've got the culture as I have the natural talent (and ability to draw), studied under and worked with some very talented designers over the years. I've pulled off some successful

heh. well not totally you fault. IMO, there should be a huge pic of the product closer to that (great, albeit long) video of theirs. as well, calling it "wallet tracker" pigeonholes its potential uses.

> Cool idea. However, after reading the website, I realized I don't get why this is limited to wallets. Think about other things people lose on a regular basis. For example, why not make this thing key-chain friendly? Should be pretty

excellent - another weapon in my arsenal of excuses. thanks!

Maybe I'm just anti-social, but I love that I can use driving as an excuse to ignore calls & texts, will envoke it every chance I get, and still haven't adopted a hands-free solution so I can continue doing so.

Yep. That and I'm sure that it sparked more people of color to move upon tech.

It doesn't contradict "systemic racism", it clarifies it. i.e. "a college degree does not equal intelligence"

Exactly. There's almost no information. Skeptics (like myself) will want to know who is behind this app, why they're doing it, or something. About Us? Terms & Conditions? Privacy Policy? As someone mentioned above, the fact that it's go

I saw PicDigest yesterday and think it's great (I didn't chime in though). Regarding the tech blog coverage, it may be too early to tell - they may be still "getting around to it". Nonetheless, I'd start hitting up blogs directly. PicDigest

good idea for keeping your layout intact, just need to control the image size so we can see the whole thing. should be pretty easy with instagram images since they all the same dimensions

nice job and congrats on delivering. might want to scale the images so they fit within your display div. at the moemnt they get cuto ff at the bottom/right by (i assume) the overflow:hidden so that the full image doesn't display

Bootstrap isn't for everyone/everything. Never gonna put it on any front facing websites. But for alphas and admin areas, Bootstrap is a blessing from heaven.

Twitter url availability is now the immediate thing I check when I'm considering a name or URL. I've even at times opted to not go with names/urls or stall projects over it. For my main project, someone has the @name, no tweets for over a y

If users other than the creator can experience it without being totally lost, it's time to launch. Aside from known security holes or absolute breakage, things can be iterated and added in as a work in progress. For one, the features priori

Well now you're talking about the worth of the story, which is different from the worth of what was built, is it not? An amazing pitch is not an amazing product, and vice versa. Yes a great story is going to get eaten up by bloggers. But th

Was a fun read. Especially since I've experienced every aspect of this story (but never in one place!) I'd kill to know the true name of the company... must see how they are going to murder Facebook, or at least get a peek at this infamous
