i'd point out that you don't need to go to a crossfit gym to do crossfit. just get some friends and do the exercises that you can with what you have.

why not just do it, then? (edit: "it" = use kickstarter)

personally and honestly, no, because it doesn't appear to be breaking any new ground in terms of functionality. i've seen plenty of similar movie apps in the past. if it is doing something new and different, i'm not seeing or perceiving i

can people successfully sign up, use the app, find it useful, and want to return to use it again some time in the future? if yes, then you're there. don't overcomplicate it.

i think that the fact that (1) they perceived this was necessary and (2) this worked, shows that online dating needs a better way of doing things.

i'd readily point out the fact that online dating is a two way street. its not a meat market where guys go out and select, while girls sit around waiting to be selected. if this girl wasn't at least into this guy, and wasn't getting any pr

so you're saying that if i overnighted a package, i shouldn't be entitled to a refund of the cost difference, at least, if it takes 3 days to arrive?

perhaps two types of options -- a % cut for all packages, and monthly flat fee programs that have quotas (but overflow of quotas hits the % cut). gives the perception of control, and could be worthwhile for the right type of client. edit:

which i think is true for flagging, which is more than just a downvote. make it more inconvenient for the thing that can kill a story or report spam. but for just a downvote, which has the same but opposite effect as an upvote, placing it

this was also the case in the election cycle. tons of political stuff that got popular and highly voted didn't go anywhere until (i think) a mod made an executive decision

i know, but to get to something to flag it, you have to perform more clicks. you have to really disagree with something to want to go flag it. a downvote button on the list would make it much more convenient and more likely to get used to

flag articles as appropriate and upvote things you like. edit: though, i admit i'd like to see downvotes on submissions, too, just to see how that would work out here. perhaps two front page lists for an experiment. one that shows the res

honestly, i never quite saw the appeal of bookmarking services. most of them, at least. i tried a few, all too much hassle.

it could. but it looks like you put a lot of time and effort into this. would you be willing to sell it on flippa for like 2 months rent and then watch as someone runs it into the ground?

why don't you just pivot? abandon all work on this product that does anything except directly generate revenue. as long as you're not losing money, just let it stay alive and gain the passive revenue. go do that other thing now.

as someone who took his advice a few years ago about weightlifting, i can tell you firsthand that what he said then was reasonably accurate. my efforts, by generally doing what he suggested, produced generally similar results.

1) you can get it done with paypal and not have $100/mo in fees. 2) paying $100/mo but making less than $100/mo violates the principles of bootstrapping.

oh, i mean, i agree. in school, i did a project in a network security class that involved phishing the network security class, and it had a roughly 50% success rate. if someone were to seriously try and phish any specific site, they'd pr
