Reworked by the 37Signals guys. It fit with what I needed at the time. It gave me some great new ideas and confirmed others I had already been both coming up with on my own and brewing from others around me. I will probably re-read it again

They do recurring billing, but not recurring payments. We want a "set it and forget it" option for people to choose. Thanks, though!

I'd really like the filter by location feature. I think not having that is really holding you back. Good luck.

I worked in a Congressional office and email which contains a name and address within the representative's district is treated just like a paper letter.

I believe genius and hard work are merely two ingredients into success or excellence in performing a task. A person of below average intelligence who has studied chess for years and years could beat a genius who took up the game a week ago.

What is your data source? Will it update live if a game is on at the time you are viewing the app?

I would respectfully say just the opposite. In a 45 second video, they showed the product, I saw someone using it who already knew how to use it and I had no more commitment than clicking "play". In my book, they got it exactly right.

I attended a TEDx event yesterday and a few parents had their middle-school aged kids there. It was an eye opener for a few of them. My parents watched a lot of PBS or National Geographic type documentaries with me as a child. It gave me a

I would guess he is not exaggerating in the terms you mention, but what it took to get him there. Reading "12 hours...$250 a day" sounds like he started from zero. He probably didn't. A while back there was this post about launching a minim

"once users engage with this particular feature, they become less likely to purchase" "this is clearly users' favorite feature." Your description is a bit vague, but here is what I am thinking. I am wondering if these folks were not going t

I am not sure if this falls in line with what you have in mind, but... I am learning RoR right now. Could I occasionally send you a quick email asking for clarification on something or help if I get stuck? Please let me know what you think.

Brainstorm ideas, not fully baked: Ads. Yeah, they will be closing the browser as soon as their phone rings, but you will still have them for a bit before then. Make them watch an ad before they can input their number and make the call. Cha

I did just a quick browse but it looks good. One suggestion: it would be nice if the "Top Rated" sort list either filtered out submissions with just a few ratings or weighted them. Right now, the number 1 submission has just one rating, whi

They don't have the time, they don't want lawsuits, they can't tell you that they ended up hiring Jeff the tax guy's cousin because many of the staff already knew him and he's a good dude as well as a good coder...etc.
