Not sure about the research that went into this article. It totally missed mentioning Ravelry ( http://www.ravelry.com ), which is an amazing RoR site that is developed and maintained by a single developer.

Wow. Just wow. This is incredibly well done. The videos (well, the ones I've been through so far) are informative and entertaining, and the site is well thought-out. I think that if you can re-skin this and retool it for other themes/langua

The owner of this page probably should have added some content to it before posting to HN. As those old Head & Shoulders commercials so wisely profess - you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Absolutely. You should be developing a marketing plan at the same time you're developing the app. Figure out the best way to generate some positive buzz, be it through blog updates, screenshots showing your progress, etc. Don't go overboard

It's not hard. With a tool like UrlRewriter.Net or similar, custom URL schemes are quite easy. And I believe the MVC framework for .Net has custom routes built in.

There isn't any information about the people behind appbackr on your site. I would never enter into a financial agreement with a completely unknown entity. I think you need to personalize the site - let us know who exactly we're dealing wit

The design is unpolished, especially those big rectangle buttons. I also cannot easily find any information about your company anywhere on the site. I wouldn't sign up for service with a company that I know nothing about.

I like the site design. Simple and clean. I agree with the other poster that commented that some of the jargon was misleading. Some of the information on the Help page should probably be made more prominent.

Marketing is something that you probably should have been thinking about well before you released the game. That said, at least you're thinking about it now. A lot of app developers think that "if you build it, they will come" and with all
