techies seem to universally deplore, but every non-techie I know uses it regularly and without much complaint This is a strawman argument. The truth, as always, is inconveniently somewhere in the middle. Plenty of techies love and use the

Plenty of people buy and sell on ebay within small local communities with a pickup only option. The trust factor comes from being in the same community and doing at least one good transaction. The mode of payment has nothing to do with it.

You can't take a part of the transaction since they all happen in-person with cash. Ebay proves otherwise.

Surely making money on these ideas is straightforward - take a cut of the transaction. The hard part is solving the chicken-and-egg problem. The Yardsale app seems quite good, but no one uses it here in London. Is it popular in SF or other

Giving up on an idea which got a ~10% positive response rate in one day of work might be a bit hasty. I doubt you'll find any SaaS business idea easier to validate. A friend of mine just validated an idea after a lot of research, cold calli

3d printing is a new industry and I think it's a reasonable bet that it will become a big one.[1] If his dad knows to carve beautiful things out of blocks of wood, he can probably pick up CAD software quite easily. [1] http://www.judegomil

I think there's a positive way of looking at the same situation. There's no doubt that cheaper mass produced goods will replace more expensive manually produced ones. But as techies, we often overestimate the speed at which this change actu

Just had another thought: 3D printing is a hot growing field of work. Can your dad not learn to apply his skills there?

by revorad 14y ago
Wow, that's beautiful work. I would be very very surprised if there's no one who would pay good money to learn that.

by revorad 14y ago
Do you mind sharing what skills your dad has? Maybe you could help him teach those skills to other people who would be willing to pay for them? Platforms like Udemy, Skillshare and training courses like patio11's deliver a lot of value for

Nice design! I signed up hoping to look for a present for my wife. But once I signed in, I just see a generic list of products. I don't see how you are solving the gift finding problem. I have signed up and tried pretty much every single ap

Congrats on launching! Can you say how your site is different from other similar sites? I'm asking because I have seen a few dozen sites like these. I even tried to build a shopping search engine once, but it fizzled out. Unless you have a

Pretty interesting idea. I signed up, but it looks like you're not using SSL on your site, so I'm hesitant to give you access to my google account.
