Three brand new CEOs who know all the tricks sit down for a wide ranging conversation about success in Silicon Valley. I had a lot of fun during this interview but certainly wouldn't claim to know all the tricks to being a CEO (ha!). That

This is a big step forward for Gmail. Now if they could just add some simple mail merge functionality, that would be another super-useful feature.

I raised two angel rounds for Crocodoc -- one in Boston, and one in SV. In Boston I wore business attire to every meeting and was generally asked for a 5-year pro formas. In SV I wore flip flops to coffee shops where I showed off prototypes

It's easy to get very basic Word/PDF documents to look decent in HTML, but to get ALL documents to look virtually identical in HTML is extremely challenging. Here is the same document displayed in Crocodoc as well as an online "PDF to HTML"

Crocodoc allows IE6 users to download either the original file, or a PDF version containing any comments and markups that have been added to it so far. All other versions of IE work fine (and IE9 actually looks amazing due to its updated fo

This is one of the main reasons why we launched crocodoc.com, to do the same thing to Adobe Acrobat that Gmail did to Outlook: Take a bloated offline application, bring it online, make it easy to use, and make it accessible to the masses. W

Wow, we're really flattered by these posts on HN (Crocodoc co-founder here). The HN community has been really supportive of us as we've been working on this. Lim Cheng Soon from Hacker Monthly was even kind enough to give us permission to u

Ryan from Crocodoc here. The Adobe Acrobat product line alone is a $600M+/year business. We believe that we can expand upon and disrupt that industry just like Gmail did to Outlook and Google Docs is doing to Microsoft Word. So if you ask u

Fair point as far as image-based document viewers are concerned. See response on this post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2226889 EDIT: To clarify, I'm a co-founder of Crocodoc and answered the same question on a parallel thread (wi

Ryan from Crocodoc here. It is fair to say that we're not the first non-Flash document viewer -- there are some really solid image-based viewers like Vuzit who have been around a lot longer than we have. What we are the first to do is lever

It would be interesting to know how much of the Milky Way SETI has scanned so far. In other words, if someone else out there was running their own version of SETI, how long before they would be likely to find our little radio broadcast bubb

Ryan from Crocodoc here. We're open to adjusting our per-document limit -- can you give me an idea of what kind of document this is, and what its size is? I'm sure we can find a way to help you out!

Great insight into a UI so good nobody will ever notice it (not being sarcastic there). Reminds me of your awesome post on the tab resizing UI for Google Chrome. Well done!
