I'll need to adjust this. We talked about it again and Noah insisted on paying me more. My cut will be $3 per copy on that $7 sale (42% gross) before PayPal fees (I am not sure what that will net to). Effectively, my cut will be closer to $

i noticed phusion passenger is supported on nginx as well, i'll look into doing this. thanks, hopefully this will work nicely on the 512 that i had with linode. also, i'm installing w3 cache right now. you'll probably hear from me.

no, but i'm going to set that up. thank you. i also realized linode is nothing like the way heroku works--that resize costed me $140. definitely not a cost-effective way to deal with traffic. i'll see if i can get it pro-rated with them sin

i changed it to that, although my apache log files aren't really giving me anything helpful. where are the cloudkick guys when you need them? ;)

i hope my linode doesn't crash again... edit: reboot #1. this is like monday all over again. i'm resizing my linode to 4gb now, then will install wpcache. will be back up in 4 min. edit: wow, that was like 20 minutes of downtime. it should

You should see if AppSumo.com will feature your app for a day.

I kind of see the original point as it relates to coding, but anecdotally StartupsOpenSourced.com has made $10k+ in revenue in the past week (not all of it is owned by me, but that's what people have paid so far) I think it fits into more m

why did you think it was more related to mdma versus an amphetamine? i remember when i saw limitless the first time, i kept thinking 'is this movie just about adderall and vyvanse?'

I didn't see this before, but this is pretty cool. If you're interested in this kind of stuff, Noah gave an in-depth interview and talked about some of his other strategies in the Startups Open Sourced book I just posted on HN 2 days ago. N

I'd guess that their work on Wufoo was taking up all of their time. They solved the payment challenge, except it was a front-end solution for customers, not developers. Might have been a larger market to go after. I don't know how much Char

I pulled this from Startups Open Sourced. Here's the context: Q: Did you ever do any other big changes or pivots? A: Payment forms is a big feature that we have at Wufoo and that’s something we even didn’t think about when we launched the s

"Wufoo has helped people collect over $100,000,000 worth of revenue for the users and about $200,000 in payments per day." I really hope you guys continue to kill it in the form space.

Thank you. I've received several e-mails about this, I'm working on an ePub version and should have it by tomorrow or Tuesday. Send me an e-mail jmtame at gmail dot com. Edit: just saw your other comment, I responded in that thread.

Yeah it was more of a pun with an allusion/shoutout to the software/tech world, but I see that some of the HN readers don't dig it. Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah, Dave's interview still blows my mind when I read it. Guy is a trooper!

The 'open sourced' connotation was mostly aimed at the process of doing a startup, opening up all the complexities of that from the founders perspective and allowing others to see it and possible reuse those techniques in their own startup.

Sure. I'll try to get that added tonight.

I've gone through a few name changes. I didn't start out calling it Startups Open Sourced, I think it started out as "Founders in School" or something close to that back in February, and then it changed to "In the Trenches" and I worried th

The book title is mostly referring to the idea of making the process of doing a startup as open as possible--you're getting a pretty good view into how these founders think and deal with a lot of different problems. I'm not sure why, maybe

I'm interviewing 33 startups and they talk about how they got interested in entrepreneurship, ways they dealt with challenges such as finding cofounders, hiring, raising money, staying motivated, getting users, etc. It's the same Q&A ap

he said fruit is okay because it has more fiber content. also to go along with this: he said we don't know enough about artificial sweeteners to conclude whether they're a healthy alternative yet.

ah missed the "active" part ;) I quoted that from memory on my phone--not an apples to apples comparison but makes me wonder. I'm interested in what portion of 4sq's users are 'active', so I'll see if I can do some digging and find out.

correction: foursquare is up to 7 million users, I spoke to dennis a week or two ago. pretty impressive by comparison, I think Facebook had 6 million at their year 2 mark.
