   You might as well put up a sign-up box on your home page, to start collecting emails. Then when you launch your beta, you'll have a set of customers ready! Good luck.

   I agree that sometimes the best comments are replies to otherwise "bad" comments, simply because the person replying is trying to correct/educate the bad commenter. It's similar to Cunningham's Law – "the best

   It's a new technology called "static HTML page"... I hear MS FrontPage can export this newfangled format.

   I just assembled mine last night, and am currently surfing HN while burning calories. Hopefully will stop wasting time soon and get back to writing code.

   I agree with you. However, most consumers just play the free part and then move on to the next game. Everyone's busy, and there are so many games to try! Sadly I find myself feeling the same way (as a consumer). I don't really wan

   Nintendo has resisted this trend of nickel-and-diming users with bags of coins and gems. However, they're struggling mightily to convince modern consumers to fork over $60 up front for their (very fun) Mario games. I'm an indie de

   It'd be nice if people stopped complaining about articles being old news. The guy posted this in 2012, and said he learned it a year ago (2011). If you already know the feature, move on to the next article. Other people don't know

    If your only goal is to have people play it and have fun, you should make it free but have In-App Purchases. Many more people will end up downloading your game, and it may spread better that way (since it's multiplayer). Now the questi

    Wow, this is truly a pro-tip. I had never considered it before. Thanks! Plus, if someone buys something from iTunes/AppStore shortly after clicking your link, you end up getting 7% commission.

    Aside from learning academically, you should also make good friends in college. Much of business and life is about who you know, and right now you are in a place where everyone is interested in meeting new people and learning. Make good use

    Get a job offer with a $hard_salary_number. Tell your boss you got an offer with another company, but would consider staying for $hard_salary_number * 1.15. If not, leave and go work with your old friend. If you actually just want the new j

    What is your experience level? Are you a complete beginner? Thanks for the signup idea. I assume you mean a way to gather users' emails? I signed up for MailChimp, but they require a physical address to comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. I&

    The lessons in GarageBand are amazing! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get famous artists to do tutorials for me. It would be a dream if (one day) I could get Billy Joel to do a Piano U lecture about "Piano Man"... heh

    I agree with you. It may be leaner than even Eric Ries would recommend. I was trying to meet the deadline for the Coursera course :-). All they required is a landing page with donation and tweet buttons, so that's all I did for now. Bu

    Thanks for the feedback! This site is going to target adults with no/little experience playing piano, but music theory will definitely play a part in the content. For example, beginners should definitely know that most western pop&#x2F

    The most effective bootcamp is jumping into a project and seeing it to completion. For example, you can create a web app that plays checkers against the user. You can pretty much do this as a static HTML page with a JS engine handling the U

    Break tasks down into tiny chunks that are sooo easy that you don't need to procrastinate to do them. Then do them little bits at a time, and reward yourself for doing them. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodo

    Cool stuff, but I wonder, even if the price of BTC stabilizes, will "normal everyday people" use it? I'm taking a coursera class (Startup 101 by Stanford) where we'll use BTC to fund our projects. But it seems like it&#x
