Great points, I hadn't considered that angle while writing the post. Those are definitely hard problems to solve.

Isn't that exactly what Facebook and every other social network does though?

You're right, very similar point. I'll add a link to it, thanks!

Yeah, it's kind of a simulated undo. I'll update the post to point it out better. But anyway, the end result is (almost) the same for the user, which is what counts at the end of the day.

You have to admire Buffer's PR skills. By writing that seemingly random post about naps and getting it republished, they end up getting a link to their site in the first paragraph of an article on a major blog. And now if you'll e

Really? Would be curious to know what makes you say that?

Shouldn't we be suspicious of subjective measures like "satisfaction" anyway? I know there are a lot of psychology studies based on similarly vague concepts, but I always feel like it's just too easy for scientists (to s

I think the idea is that the same bit of code would be running both on the server and/or the client, depending on what you need. So it wouldn't require any more work on the end developer's part.

Why not use that time to work on a personal project instead? Build something cool and useful and then show it to HN :)

"Such an amount"? Aren't you blowing things out of proportion a bit?

A key factor in Andrew's success I think was the sheer quality of his work. His new identity was better than a lot of real brands, and vastly superior to most fake redesigns both from an aesthetical and practical point of view.

Even large apps like Snapchat or Instagram seem like they started out targeting a specific market first. Usually for tech startups that market is simply early adopters (or HN readers), but it could also be teenagers, photo enthusiasts, etc.

It depends on how many people land on that page. If you have 100 visitors a day and you have 10 sign-ups a day, that's an awesome conversion rate and probably a sign you can consider your idea validated. Or you can approach it the othe

To answer your first question, TodoMVC ( http://todomvc.com/ ) has a Meteor implementation: http://todomvcapp.meteor.com/ And for our Meteor book, we built a pretty standard forum/HN clone app called Mic
