Apparently we are receiving quite a few visits (and some positive feedback) from the US. We do really appreciate all the help we got on HN. If any of you guys will decide to place an order, please use this coupon code during the checkout:

Having a list of youtubers or bloggers is probably the next thing we will do. We will try to get in touch with them and see what we will need to do in order to get some coverage. The hard thing with our core business is that our stock is li

These are all good suggestions/insights. Some of the things you mentioned we do, others we don't. I'll be spending the next few days trying to optimize our campaigns and define a clear demographic for the people we target. I

Added to the to-do list, tomorrow I'm going to add multi-currency support to the store! If your wife will decide to be our first customer, tell her to get in touch via mail. We will be super-happy to offer free shipping to the US :) Th

I'm blown away! Thank you so much for this! I do realize that speaking english as a second language is an issue considering our target. We definitely need to find someone to proof-read our texts and landing pages.

Bricks and mortar store is something we are considering. To be fair, we don't have enough money to actually setup a "proper" store BUT in London it is possible to open pop up stores, which you can rent for a few days or a few

Thanks for the suggestion. Pinterest is a recurring subject, you are not first one suggesting it but none of us ever used it. I do definitely need to spend some time with it.

Disclaimer: I never went through a similar situation. To me it sounds like that you have built the core platform for someone else, as an employee, and you have been rewarded for your work. Problem is: you are an employee and you are tired o

Agree. This is just plain abuse on people who have no other available options.

Resistance IS a big deal. I've lost my grandfather last monday due to nosocomial pneumonia (essentially, pneumonia resistant to all existing antibiotics).

I fail (as well) to see how this is different from Trello and why I should move all my trello stuff to here.

What a junk comment. Get yourself a culture. This is the kind of BS people say when they mistake marketing with reality. Scratching the surface of western propaganda will teach you that beyond the "Mark Zuckerberg" effect there is

Don't you have protocols for this? Is it entirely up to individual preparation for how long (and how) you 'try'?

Yes, the relationship of italians with alcohol is significantly different than the one in english-speaking countries. Much more "sane" and relaxed, I'd dare to say. Alcohol isn't a social problem and it's tolerated

Yes, I do agree with you. That's the real weapon we - as people from the western block - have and comes with little surprise that Russia is trying to redefine the whole economical system by joining with China. http://nationa

Sure, drones and high-tech weapon systems. I can clearly see how hyper-tech weapons will function at -40C, with N meters of snow and covering distances where you need Nk-km to reach the closest village. I don't really mean to sound cau

Bullshit. Sorry but this is rhetoric and you clearly never went through the amazing experience of bootstrapping a company in Italy. Italy is just entrepreneurs hell on earth, and it's a very practical statement. 1) Open a company: mini
