I'll offer some feedback right now... I think the product is pretty slick, but your site suggests this is the "easiest" way to send a file. A big question remains on what the first-time setup is like. How do I get other people on my "list"

Hi there! I agree with Brian in that your treading dangerously close in name, look and feel to the current market leader and might find yourself getting a C&D or a terse email before you ever hit any real traction. I'd reconsider your b

Someone (you?) asked me about this 6 months ago. You haven't made any evident progress from the first time I saw it and my original advice still holds. (Re: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3005256 ) Whether you should launch with a mob

I have personally been asked by a few people with the same exact problem. I've even helped one or two of them vet some potential developers they wanted to hire. Whether or not you hire someone, you should definitely learn to code. The more

Hey Vidar. I'm afraid I don't own an iPhone. I have a few friends who have one though. If I can persuade one to let me install your app, I'll report back with my feedback. I'll even share theirs, if any. :)

Wish I had some time for A/B testing. I'll probably keep the funnel as it is now for purity's sake and consider including this in a better approach for next time. The sideshow was a bit technical, but it was made specifically for a tech tal

All points are well taken. First, thank you! Re: Validation of demand? No, I'm not sure of my demand. Further, I KNOW my market is spread quite thin over the geographic area, however, this is one giant test to begin with so I'm prepared for

Thanks for the kind words. I'm certainly not easily discouraged. This is all in the name of improving today instead of waiting for next time. Thx.

Ironically, I'm completely FUBARing my metrics by posting this, but I feel I've collected a decent sample to justify the value I'd be getting. But, if you get this far and want to help, please use these links so I can segment this traffic f

Of course. I'm happy it helped. Yes, you can delete it. I don't recall anything standing out as painfully bad. Good luck with the site! :D

Test it! Make a landing page which identifies the key improvements. Make a demo instance people can try out. Make it easy to install. Offer licenses for business use, free for personal use. Build a community. See what happens from there. :D

If it's not jumping out at you with any reasonable locations, consider that it doesn't belong in your "New Acct" workflow. Besides, if they are new to your service, you might not want to bombard their friends until you establish the relatio

I'm not clear on what you want help on here. Are you looking for a custom shopping cart solution or improve on driving traffic to your site? I'm going to assume you're trying to improve your traffic, but it's not clear on what you've tested

I usually try to add my personality to the letter while still observing the typical business etiquette. Even though this is subjective, I find this helps guide me toward a cover letter which is personal, friendly, and urges the reader to wa

I don't have a good grasp on image libraries, but this might be a fun project to attempt: Build a script that imports ZIP files full of JPEGs or a single JPEG. After import, display each photo in succession. Prompt the user to select the co

1) I've found this library ( http://pylit.berlios.de/literate-programming/index.html ) which might help with your objective, but I'm not sure if it will solve your specific application. I'm certain you could create some sort of shell or wra

Your top priority should be to be available for as many people as possible. If you can get more than 1000 people on your server at once then you need to take advantage of that momentum to build a buzz about your product. Putting artificial

I personally don't use Foursquare (or any other geo-location app or feature) primarily for privacy reasons. I'm pretty open about most things on the web, but my location is not something I want people know about. That being said, I think so

Quick idea: Perhaps some functionality which pays attention to which music you play during your run. At the end of the run, let the runner "grade" how they feel after their run. Help the user generate playlists for future runs based on this

You're lying to yourself if you're suggesting infographics are never biased. And the author did reach out to Jason (twice) to correct his concerns.

I'm not saying the infographic is authoritative or not, but I don't think you have any evidence to support your statement either.
