Hey Bill, first of all kudos to you for kicking the habit and making the decision to better yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and you have shown a lot of resiliency which is key to being successful in anything. I agree with what a couple ot

Okay, well in that case let us both hope there are more people like you than me! :)

This is a pretty neat idea. I am not sure if something similar exists (the model is becoming popular, but with tea I do not know). From a technical standpoint I do not have a whole lot to say. The site is straight-forward easy to share via

Not sure if .co domain names get indexed properly for SEO either so be careful of that.

I do recommend changing your diet a bit. As fezzl pointed out, most Americans/westerners are hardwired to eat more calories than needed. I eat Indian vegetarian food and, ironically, I calculated my caloric intake to be 1500-1700 yesterday.

Hey, if I were in your situation here is what I would do. Due to the financial needs of your family you should take the sure job with Google. You seem to be making plenty so I would suggest scaling back a bit (if over 100K is not enough), b

Hey, this looks pretty cool. I might add that it would be nice for the colors to be the same in both the Time Spent Overview and Weekly Overview. It makes it easier to read / compare.

Hey foxhop, I understand your fear (we all do to an extent). Most people advocate a MVP approach (minimum viable product) for many reasons. First, you can do less work before releasing. Second, it allows your ideal users to help you develop

Hey, I have a friend who might be in need of this. I will coax him into trying this out. Send me an email? (address in profile) It looks nice! Hopefully I'll be of more help shortly.

Says the guy working on a city-guide startup. Why not try something more constructive? OP, I haven't used the other hosting sites, but I do like the drag-drop feature. Perhaps distinguish yourself from competitors with simple features such

Hey, this may sound strange, but if you would like to save some money and speak to someone who knows firsthand the troubles of a startup founder, then you can email me if that would help. Not really what you asked for, but offer is on the t

Most of the time a VC or investor is not going to take your idea and decide to stop investing, but instead go back to his basement and code for hours on end. I would suggest not even mentioning an NDA and don't worry about spilling the secr

An infographic on the number of people startups that offer beta invites, the number of actual users that use the invites, and the retention rate of those users would be pretty cool. It would be an infographic for the startup community as a

All of these programs / apps / sites etc. are new things. I would say that zeebox.com actually validates your work so far by showing there exists a market for it already. Plus, it is not a zero-sum game. You can both win (in terms of profit

Wow this is an amazingly well-done site for 24 hours. Simple design, good UI/UX from what I can tell, and it is clean and neat. Not really spending much so I didn't get into the 14 day free trial, but still cool. Perhaps make it free for a

Hey temp, I've actually been debating whether I want to start a project, which is kind of simple, but could help a lot of people. Let me know if you are interested - email is in my profile.

The problem I see is this: How can anyone prove anything? Will they be entering exact factory numbers etc? I ask because one could easily include a bunch of very expensive laptops with stock photos / photos taken from a friend and then get

Your tech team sounds very experienced and competent, but 3 co-founders is already enough for a startup. Also, the dynamic of a team where three people know each other really well and then one business guy is totally new, might be a bit of

I think that is pretty dang cool. Perhaps one expansion could allow people to add some text - details about each photo if an explanation is required. Either way, that's a neat site - nice work.

I don't know about the CS industry, but I know many other industries have employers sending employees to school fully paid-for. Usually I hear about MBAs being paid for, but I imagine you could at least ask your current employer?

One option may not to surrender any equity at all. If you have enough faith, try to use the credit card, friends, and family etc. Indiegogo.com might be an option as I do not know of any restrictions on locations (though they may exist)

Yeah, I really don't know. That's a good question, but I think it can be worded along the lines of "I can legally kill your company, but I would prefer to discuss this with you first. Please do not make me do this and just contact me so we

Well you have to look out for number one here so I think you should get a dialogue going with them. Tell them you would like to collaborate and at least speak with them about their license, but mention you can also have their contract termi

I would suggest a book by James Altucher (www.jamesaltucher.com) - Although he is a serial entrepreneur and is now an investment "guru", his previous two books have been just helpful for people in general. He has already alluded to having m

In today's world I don't think it matters all that much. Few people don't use these sites and the ones who say they don't are usually liars. Truth is, if the job itself is good then why not? You have good compensation, five weeks paid holid

I was thinking it might be cool for a job recruiting software program. The software would pull data from Facebook and find people that are graduating the upcoming academic year, find the correct major for the job, and then send the applican
