Personally, I think QR codes are a solution looking for a problem. There was ONE time I found a QR code to be practically useful. My wife and I were shopping for car seats, and the higher end model had a QR code that scanned to watch a vid

Couldn't agree more. Working isolated works for some tasks (like getting "in the zone" while developing) but I definitely thrive off of the ambiance of a coffee shop environment.

Use your existing networks. When we had our initial landing page up for matchist ( http://matchist.com ), my co-founder and I used our networks to spread the word. That consisted of our Twitter followers, Facebook friends, and other perso

We all need great hosting optimized for scaling if our ideas get crazy popular. But until then, you need something that you don't need to worry about, so you can concentrate on building and testing your product. We recently switched to Pago

It generally starts with the type of client you're dealing with. There's a type of client that will pay all the time and there's a type of client that will haggle with you every time. The better you get at learning how to spot them, the l

"Besides this whole model of skipping a VC/investor to go directly to customers and then make super profits is a disruptive trend for investors." Having customers pre-order a product and pay directly for it isn't exactly disruptive.

I'd prefer something with the simplicity and ease of setup/maintenance as PHP Fog.

by timjahn 14y ago
AppFog is also run by the same team as PHP Fog, which in my experience in the past few weeks, cares very little about customer support. I'd like to see what else is out there.

We're PHP/MySQL now, so anything that supports PHP/MySQL (whether solely or as part of a larger offering).

Other than dotCloud, what are some other PHP as a platform competitors?

by timjahn 14y ago
What kind of migration support are you providing if we decide to switch to AppFog? Your support quality and service level has dropped off a cliff in the past 2-3 weeks, in my experience.

by timjahn 14y ago
This sucks. But actually, I'm glad to hear it. Over the past 2 weeks (since we upgraded matchist to a PHP Fog dedicated server), their support team has basically dropped off the face of the earth. Their support live chat disappeared. Thei

Does your idea solve a problem? Are people willing to pay you to solve that problem for them? Three months of paperwork is great, but if the answer to the above two questions is no, said paperwork is sorta useless.

Joel and his team are AMAZING at this kind of stuff. My favorite is how at the end of every email blast they send, they put a PS at the bottom that says feel free to hit reply, they're standing by for the next few hours to answer all repli

Money runs the world (whether we like it/acknowledge it or not). If you have enough money, you can do such a thing. If you don't, you're a bit more restricted. Throwing in some kids, house, family, health issues, whatever compounds it, but
