   Agree with this, except maybe the bit about competing on pricing. I think it risks becoming a race to the bottom which benefits none of the competitors. Better to compete on features (as you suggest), quality, service, even messaging/style

   Very interesting to read about each product and the lessons learned. Looking forward to the follow-up article. I'm a bit concerned about how long the writer can continue, though. There isn't a single mention of sales or income, both in term

   Fun to play with! One very small point - you might want to change "Courtesty of" to "Courtesy of" (unless it's deliberate).

   Agree - this is also needed for accessibility reasons. Either something like Spacebar for next, or Tab/arrow keys.

   Wasn't aware of that conference but it looks excellent. Thanks for the link - I'll be there.

   No, you did not make a mistake by being honest. If you'd have fluffed it or lied you would have either made yourself look stupid or found yourself in a position that doesn't suit you at present. Be honest and in the long term it will be the

   The first I heard of lucid dreaming was this introduction to it in Steve Pavlina's podcast. Highly recommended for anyone with a passing interest: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/01/stevepavlinacom-pod...

   Slightly related, I think you should make MakeLeaps a bit more visible in the Hacker News meetups, even if it's just a logo on the door or reception desk. Alternatively, hand out the stickers you mentioned in the article. I'm sure lots of u

    Thanks Jason - a great look into doing business in Japan and relevant for large as well as small businesses IMO. Especially interesting are the methods you used to break out of the no-users-without-social-proof vicious circle. Another optio

    I've made an Opera extension for you as well. Where's the best place to send it?

    Yes, on the surface it seems to be similar to Pinterest, Instapaper, Evernote and possibly even plain old bookmarks. A comparison between the services would be helpful.

    A bit of feedback - the first thing I see is a message saying "you need to create your account", which put me off. It would be nice if I could save a few things immediately with an auto-generated temporary account, accompanied by a "sign-up

    A bit off-topic and I might have missed something, but why is this on GitHub? I would have thought Wikipedia is best for reference lists like this. Still an eye-opening read, though.

    Thanks. I appreciate the quick response. Mobile Opera & Firefox don't work for me. I haven't looked into why yet but can do that on Monday and get back to you.

    A couple of issues: 1. "assuming you’re with the rest of us in the 21st century" - that's pretty insulting to the millions who can't afford a smartphone. 2. "it’ll run from your phone’s browser" - but only if it's WebKit.

    Thank you for the step-by-step guide from an engineer's perspective. I guess the Joe Sugarman book you mention is one of these two: http://www.amazon.com/The-Adweek-Copywriting-Handbook-Advert... http://www.amazon.com/Advertising-Secrets

    Looks like this is WebKit only. Any chance that jQuery.keyframe.js could have vendor prefix support for Firefox, Opera & IE, similar to libs/request_animation_frame.js ?

    Sorry for the snarky comment. I was frustrated at the "$7.8 Billion In Value" headline - I don't like that "value" is measured by what the founders get out of a startup rather than what users get out of it (or are prepared to pay for it). I

    ... and test it cross-browser. WebKit has a majority on mobile (around 75%) but not a monopoly. (Source: http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_browser-ww-monthly-201103-... )
