It seems to me like you are expecting people to buy this app so that they can see what a color blind person would see with sample images. But who cares? You seem to have identified that parents or relatives of colorblind would be one likely

I was told not to use constants on the left hand side of an expression e.g., if("hello"==strVar) and was made to change it throughout my code. Needless to say I quit after making that change.

Isn't that's what CGI is for? If you want a full blown web application framework in C is going to be a lot of work. String manipulation, parsing HTML with standard C libraries is not going to be easy. Java, C# and Python have pretty decent

Travel, take a break. Seems like burntout and you need to take a vacation and then decide whether you really want to quit this industry.

It definitely is one of the better solutions out there. For most parts it does work across browsers without any major issues. The only problem i have seen so far with cappuccino is that sometimes with slower browsers like IE the application

It is extremely difficult to get funding for a product in India. VC's there seem to prefer verticals, if you are working on a vertical product you have a better chance. If all the YC funded were to try and get funding from Indian VC's I am
