I should also mention that I have a partner in each of my start ups. So, if I drop one or both of the start ups, I'll be screwing them over as well.

1) Both start ups are making money now. And my only financial obligations are rent + utilities + food and misc stuff. One is B2B and the other is B2C. The B2B obviously has a smaller market but the ARPU is fairly high. If it continues to gr

I've considered this, but I'm not sure how they would respond. If I'm open and tell them I'm not 100% committed to my work there, I'm not sure they'd still want me to work there anyway. I think I have to be prepared for the worst case if I

I totally understand the move to get rid of the free plan but I still see no explanation for doubling the price of the 50-500 user plan.

At this point, this is the way I feel. At their price point, Chargify is a useful tool to get off the ground quickly but not quite as useful as a long term solution. At your example of $2000 for the development of a billing system, Chargify

Chargify was underpriced. Unless you have some inside information, it's hard to say if they were undercharging for their service. Without knowing what their overhead was like I don't think it's fair to say that the service was underp

Their justification on Twitter seems to be that they needed to get rid of their free tier. That makes some sense, but that doesn't really explain why they double the price for their lowest tier and increased the pricing on their other tiers

This was very disappointing to read. If their product were rock solid I wouldn't have minded as much but it's far from being a complete solution. Unfortunately, a lot of chargify needs a lot of work. I'm especially unhappy with the metered

We use a flash player and 'fall forward' to html5 when flash is unavailable. We do this because most people do have flash installed and this covers about 99% of the use cases. In the case that flash is not available, we fall back to the def

Well, the original goal was for it to be workouts you do at home. The value proposition is that you can get a gym quality workout with a personal trainer in the comfort of your home without having to pay gym membership fees or for an expens

We have considered, and are still considering, single serve workouts. If there is a big demand for something like that, we'll probably implement it.

Cost and convenience were the two main motivations behind PhysicalFix. If you consider that a gym membership can cost anywhere between $20 and $200 per month and a personal trainer can cost between $35 $60 per session, the amount of workout

I don't really mind their confusion though. Over the past 7 days, I've made around $200 in adsense revenue. It was quite a shock to log in and see that.

Yes, I completely agree. We DO need a player on the homepage. Like I noted, however, this was a real rush job. We needed a minimum set of features so that we could migrate users and I really only had time to focus on that as opposed to the
