Haha thanks :) I specifically chose not to donate the funds to charity, since I don't want to provide any value in addition to be being featured in the highscore list. Otherwise it would become about who's most charitable. An inte

Yep, exactly. I've seen similar concepts be successful in the past. Of course we only get to see the successful ones (survivorship bias) and for every successful 'experiment' there are a 1,000 failed ones, but I figured why n

A while ago I was thinking about how people spend a lot of their money on impressing others. Fancy clothes and jewellery, the red sports car, etc. Really all it is, is showing off how much money you've got to waste. I like to make thin

What I find interesting about Blank is the simplicity of their product. It feels extremely basic (creating a custom t-shirt takes literally just a few minutes), but they've nailed the UX. If they can keep the product this simple, grow

Marketing isn't a problem though, it's a solution. If you can figure out what exactly the problem is suppliers are having, then it's a matter of solving it. This should make it much easier for you to find an affordable proces

We featured The Pitch on BetaList a while ago and since I was really intrigued about the concept I decided to interview the founders to hear more about the backstory. Would love to hear what the HN community thinks :)

Yeah, there seems to be something funky going on with the Twitter followers. We currently use a Google Spreadsheet Script to fetch these numbers. Will have a closer look today! As for sorting, I think it's a limitation of embedding a G

Agreed. That said, the right coverage can get you customers. You just need to be strategic about which media outlets you reach out to. I'd definitely would not recommend to reach out to all 300+ media outlets. Next step for the site wi

Thanks for noticing! I acquired the domain name a while ago. There must have been some suspicious content on it before. I have reached out to Bluecoat to see if they can reconsider. Disclosure: I'm the creator of Submit.co

Is the payment to get the email delivered or to get guaranteed response? I'd prefer the latter for two reasons: 1) as a receiver I don't want to miss out on a potentially interesting email just because the sender couldn't pay

Valid point on worth-of-mouth. Since the app is relatively new, it might take a while for it to rank. (Not sure that's how the App Store works, but can imagine the more downloads/reviews the higher it will rank for its keywords)

Ah yes, if you don't use iTunes for anything else it wouldn't make sense installing it just for this.

by keesj 12y ago
Fair enough. Never considered the disk space it occupies. Would be nice if the automatic downloading would work without downloading the app. (i.e. "Send to iPhone")

Interesting to see so many people having problems finding the app. What's wrong with clicking the 'App Store' button and downloading it from iTunes? You can configure your iPhone to then automatically download it. Serious que
