   Here are my thoughts on registration forms: You should always have absolute minimum number of fields required to start using the service. Don't have any optional fields (there are plenty of better places to ask for that information). If the

   What do you want to do exactly? Do you want to build an app to help people do A/B testing? It might be worth trying to get in touch with someone like Patrick McKenzie. His username here is patio11 and his blog is http://www.kalzumeus.com .

    I believe it may have something to do with the non-ranty, non-swearing, respectful questions.

    I really have to disagree here. I think this is absolutely the wrong attitude to have towards the design community. If someone came to this community and asked to build them an app for free they would get shut down. Instead of putting up $3

    This seems like a good option too, but if you've found a name you really want then why not send an email and find out if you can get the .com first? You have little to lose.

    My advice would be to contact the owner of the .com before you launch. Once you have launched, the .com will have a higher perceived value and will give the owner more leverage to bargain a higher price. Failing getting the .com at the righ

    People often ask me how to learn more about building web apps and I give similar advice (although I only talk about finishing projects, not culling them). So many of us have a lot of ideas. We get excited about some and start building them.

    If you have a domain with something to do with giving recommendations (sharing/favourites/popular), even loosely related (or even so far removed it works) then let me know. I've been struggling with this one.
