You know what? Ignore my comment above. I'm not even looking for an apartment right now, so my opinion doesn't matter. Good luck with your scope expansion!

This could be a timesaver overall, but looks like too much work upfront, which only some highly organised people might use. Are you pivoting Streak from a sales CRM to a general purpose productivity tool?

That advice mostly comes from the fact that most startups don't have any semblance of a business model. So, the only thing to tweak is the product in search of blowing up user "engagement" numbers. But even with a business model, the produc

I think you hit the nail on the head. And that raises the question - is Steve more keen on experimenting with the business model because he is more of a business/management guy than an engineer?

When to pivot or not is the hard question, and no one, including Seth Godin, knows the answer.

In searching for product/market fit (the right match between value proposition and customer segment) the product should be the last part you think of changing – not the first That is shocking . I'm glad Steve said it clearly in those wor

Wow, thanks for making this! I just shared this on Facebook but the FB auto summary thing didn't pull up an image as it usually does for links. You should look into fixing that because having a powerful image (as you do on the homepage) wil

Lots of people are led astray by this belief that there's a killer feature that causes people to pay. Usually, there isn't one. For example, I run a data visualisation SaaS app. For a long time, I tried all sorts of combinations of free and

One thing that is hardly ever mentioned when evaluating freemium is that you need deep pockets to survive until enough people start paying for the premium offering. So it almost never makes sense for bootstrapped businesses. The best bet is

Instead of giving us pity and RTFM, it would help if you clearly specify what you think are the defining and distinguishing features of the cathedral and the bazaar models. There seems to be a lot of confusion around that.

This is a great idea, with a compelling story behind it. I'm wondering what the thinking is behind making it a funded startup. Wouldn't the pressure of returning investors' money in a limited timeframe make it hard to focus on solving the a

His most recent project is the Varnish HTTP accelerator, which is used to speed up large Web sites such as Facebook. The Cathedral speeding up the Bazaar? Oh sweet irony.

I agree that users don't give perfectly true answers, but discarding their answers as 100% useless or false is silly. You can corroborate survey results with server logs. You don't have to view them in isolation.

I'm curious to know what bad personal experiences you've had in conducting surveys to dismiss them completely. When was the last time you ran a survey and why did it fail to deliver the results you were expecting? Also, please can you take

I wondered the same about the peak at 27 and the spike at 29. But, this is a pretty small dataset, so shouldn't read too much into it.

Weebly has actually done this already, but their main selling point is a website. The blog is just one of the components.

I haven't looked at any data on following, but at least I follow most new people based on Twitter's recommendations, or by directly looking at who my friends follow. But anyway, I don't see what that has to do with my point. Following peopl

Reposting the comment I posted on the blog post here: It seems to me that consumer tech startups have a default belief that selling the promise of sales is easier and more lucrative than selling something directly. It’s like a slightly fanc

You've answered your own question. There's nothing stopping anyone from building an aggregator. But to keep running it, you need money. Ideals are not enough.
