Do you mind sharing what space your product is in?

What are other options that are truly native? Also, speed isn't always a factor and Electron can get you up and running quick, especially if you already know Nodejs and HTML

There is the Windows 10 Store now. I'm not sure how many people use it and what the niche that is most popular for customers.

Are you making money on any of those products?

I've heard many things on Microconf from Mike and Rob on Startups for the Rest of Us. The problem is paying for a ticket as well as airfare to get there. Due to family financial responsibilities my company operates its own accounts and

That is some nice revenue. I would assume you have pretty high margins on that as well. How long has your app been released? I'm going down this route and making dev tools that help replace the sucky entrenched big players. I haven&#x2

Info products can be a good source of relatively passive income. How are you marketing your info product? For myself, I'm writing desktop software for developers which is a market I know and something that really interests me. On top o

What about with desktop software? Once you buy it you are able to use that version and don't have to rely on the vendor sticking around. Also, how do you go about finding such information about a company if a micro ISV doesn't pub

I'd love to get a slack channel for solo founders. Just forewarning I have never used Slack before but I'd be down to learn. What kind of software do you sell? Is it desktop, mobile, web? Also, is your price point rather high? I w

I'm currently using an Asus Ultrabook that is 15". I also have a Macbook pro that my wife now uses that is a 13" screen. I just love the 15" so much that I think it would be hard to go down in screen size. It is 1080p, s

Getting real time market data is not cheap and with good reason, there are many companies/firms that rely on that data to make money so the exchanges and other 3rd party companies that have access data can sell for high prices. If you

This has been incredibly frustrating for me. I get this spam a lot and it isn't flagged by Google Analytics as spam since it keeps showing up when I have block spam turned on. The biggest reason why it bothers me is that I have a fairl

I've started playing with Electron after I heard it on the Dot Net Rocks podcast. It is interesting and I like it for cross platform apps (already have an application in mind) but I've come across some issues. Mainly using React w

Full fledged intellisense in visual studio for dynamic languages. I typically use static languages so it isn't much of a problem but when using something like Boo it becomes much more noticeable pain

That makes sense. When you're moving around the house when working then a laptop is a necessity.

You can post here using the Show HN. As for Reddit, I find that /r/SideProjects is a decent place to show your stuff. It isn't as popular as /r/startups but it is a place to show your work without the taboo

The first thing for me was coming up with a solution to a problem that I had at my last job and seems to be a problem for others: Windows Installer creation software. There doesn't seem to be a good option that doesn't break the b

I'm curious as to why you don't just have a desktop for home office. I wouldn't be able to use the 11" chromebook, especially coming from a 17" screen.

Is there any way that you could do any of this manually instead of requiring the resources you are looking for? Even if it is difficult getting started manually will allow you to pick up some cash in order to get what you need. Of course th

This isn't the market for me as I'm not a Python developer nor do I really plan to create software of iOS. But as a compiler/language tool enthusiast I think it would be a cool product. One thing I would suggest is using an i

There are a few major players that I can think of that makes money in the compiler/language tools category (JetBrains and Embarcadero are the two that comes to mind but I'm sure there are many more). But I think for a small player

I think it also depends on how you travel. I have a 4 hour commute each day but it is on the train. I'm lucky enough to be at the first stop each way so I typically get a seat and the train is typically empty enough so I get a seat to

I have a close to 4 hour train commute per day and I just bring my 15" laptop on the train with me. I have a laptop section in my backpack so carrying it isn't an issue. Being on the train is typically the only time I bring my lap

I would definitely be interested if you threw Electron in as well. I would pay $20-$30 for an ebook on that as I'm struggling with getting React to work with Electron and all the tutorials have their stuff just work and it doesn't

I just can't get behind either the Surface or Macbook Pro. I had a Macbook that my wife has taken over and I'm currently rockin' an Asus ultrabook that has a 15" screen. I love the bigger screens and 13" is just way
