A small app to "scratch my itch" - when using Pocket they insist on showing you their "article view" and not the original site on the first click, making you click again for the original. This alternate reading list shows you the original a

I'll try. First I want to make sure that this is from my personal, but vast experience. I'm not saying it is the only way to get a good job, but it is the best bet. I think the most important reason is that Israel is a small and a tight kni

That is indeed some of my point - exposure is what you really need, not launching. I can launch stuff all day and never get on the front page of anything. I think it's important to be accurate about the real causes and in this case it is no

I don't think you can make such a broad claim. I've been working at startups for a few years and I don't lack job offers, but they come mostly from my past experience and industry ties. I've "launched" (as in created) two small web apps in

I have read almost to the end and I still have no idea what a "growth hacker" does. Is this SEO (another blurry, but less blurry term) or content generation or scaling?

I think that we as an industry need to drop the 80 char per line rule.

There are some problems with TOR (Some have solution): 1. Someone with enough resources can create and add to the network enough servers, especially entrance and exit nodes, to effectively nullify the TOR router. 2. Some web tools can have

I'm going to guess you are from the US. For me in Israel, Israel's board was the top one.

I meant to write a response earlier but I just left the window open. Hopefully you'll still read my personal opinion about your venture and it helps. I too have the problem you are talking about. I'm very interested in the people in places

My point is not that time is money. My point is that instead of the title talking about his movie his selling point is that is cost him 0$. Well that's fine and all but that is not impressive to me.

Just because something is useless doesn't mean people won't use it. But I agree - this has a use. Not something I'd use or even think to create mind you, but a use nonetheless.

Whenever I see people claiming they did something for 0$ I find it disingenuous. It reminds me of the old JWZ quote: > Linux is only free if your time has no value

I'd use it, especially if you can somehow connect it to HelloSign. This is something older people really need, at least from my limited view of my grandparents. They get so many forms and if I could help them fill them out and send them rem

I think the point is that that stranger should introduce himself first in less then 300 chars and then you can decide whether it is important enough to hear him out fully. Your last sentence makes me feel like you didn't understand the idea

I don't think he means you replace your email with this, just have this as a public email. You will still give coworkers or collaborators your regular address and they could send you long code and messages, but strangers wouldn't be able to

With that I can agree. Ideas are worth nothing. Execution is what matters. And luck. Mostly luck.

Don't dishearten him. I think this is more location based. As someone in Tel Aviv I get a lot of these. Friends in less "Startupy" regions in Israel don't. To be more general - these "founders" know they have a bigger chance to find a techn

Or in this case botnet operators. They are entrepreneurs too, just less ethical. It is unfortunate that they exist, but once again the optimist keeps saying that their existence is great because they create problems for smart and ethical pe

I love when companies behave like that. It just leaves so much room for the small guys to distinguish themselves as better. In a perfect world bugs won't exist. Less perfect - they will be dealt with as soon as someone notifies the company

My blog posts ( http://sveder.com/blog ) are between .18-.22 so I feel relieved. Great idea, and like everyone else I'd like to know where I fail too.
