   excuse the newbie question, but what other "kind" of canvases are there? Or do you just mean print/web?

   Checkout Venture Deals by B. Feld and J. Mendelson. It gives a great overview of how the VC world works and how VC's make their money. VC's get paid through management fees. They get paid regardless of outcome, but their careers

   To follow up, I started reading Steve Blank's book and it clears up most of the confusion. Specifically that the founders start with a product specification derived from their vision (not focus groups). The Customer Discovery phase is

   Thanks for the feedback. You can checkout the existing homes (below the fold) without signing up, but you have the sign up to access the editor. What would you want to do before signing up?

   Thank you! I've been trying to get my head around responsive grids for a while and after using this for 2 minutes I finally "get it".

   If this guy works for a firm it would be worth notifying them. A good firm will want to protect it's brand.

    Ok, after a day of using it, it gets pretty annoying. Perhaps it's just mental, but it seems to make the new tab slower. I have to wait for animation to load before I can use the tab.

    So that works "On Startup" only, not when I open a new tab. Works great in Safari though.

    I think this is great. I think I would still follow this up with a quick standup, but it forces everyone to show up prepared. Can you put up some pricing info or define "small teams"? Is this working? or is this an experiment?

    Nice. Is there an easy way to set the new tab url in Chrome? Without extensions?

    As a developer looking for work I found a ton of startup job opportunities in the NYC area. But I found the companies hiring for a very specific set of skills (frameworks, insert random buzz words) instead hiring for general ability and kno

    As a web developer I think its worth spending some time to learn about the various protocols in use. Writing your own HTTP server can be a useful learning exercise and is pretty easy a rudimentary server running. Also I think a deep underst

    Your search feature doesn't handle "St. Louis" type searches. Searching for "St." anything returns nil, but searching for "Paul" returns "St. Paul" and others. Otherwise it's an interesting

    Good write up, especially the concurrency stuff. SQLite is great, I've used it in read heavy production environments for years.

    I didn't get it until I watched the kickstarter video, and even then not until the scene of actually building the mosaic out of logos. At first I thought it was just a cheesy low quality image filter. I also didn't notice the ima

    Looks interesting, but it would be nice if they had some kind of documentation on their site. I can't figure out exactly what they do.

    You certainly can just write your html/CSS/js and upload it to your favorite static hosting provider. The command line and IT stuff are just tools in the toolbox. Some tools will help you write more sustainable code by managing y

    ZeroMQ is really good. I think the best introduction to it is this video, http://vimeo.com/20605470 (ZeroMQ is the answer). Just ignore the it was recorded at a PHP conference, the examples are pretty language agnostic. I

    How much of the Redis API do you rely on? You could write a client library for say any of a dozen data stores that mimics the redis API. Disclaimer: I've only used redis for small side projects, and I'm sure some of the in-memory

    Thanks, I think you are right about us thinking of the "business plan" to different ways. I'm very much thinking of the business model canvas, and my partner probably thinks I'm talking about a formal plan. I still thi
