No, we had an app name, but my real name was visible as the developer. We didn't incorporate or have any legal protection, but it was just a travel magazine app.

I just used my name when launching our app. Since it didn't take off it worked out just fine. The plan was always to incorporate if we started making money, so we saved when the app went nowhere. If you already have people paying you m

I make anywhere from $100 - $300 a month, once over $450 when someone bought a Rolex. I came across the niche browsing reddit's r/watches. There are a lot of watch blogs and websites, but almost nothing devoted just to watch bands

I built https://basicbands.com/ a fashion blog about watch straps. Its not very much work. Brands send me photography and I post it, or go to websites and request it and people send pictures to me to post. When I have time

You could think about it this way: the mechanical parts of cars are all the same-ish (and Apple is planning on them being commodities). So when self-driving cars show up, the only thing to differentiate them will be the software, and Apple

I get that, but how does this suspicious trading do anything? What does it do? It just seems suspicious at this point, but I can't actually find the math to work out the purpose, even though some people in the thread are claiming its a

Can someone explain what the purpose of this would be in plain English and plain math? I see a lot of claims but I don't understand how they work. For example, if the goal was to make money, can someone explain how $1000 would travel

Stuy town is actually what I was thinking of. Or at least mixed use, with office/commercial on the bottom and a residential tower on top. Everyone else seems to do it, it's weird to see purely office buildings still being built wi

In everywhere I've lived, the pressure to build has usually won out because the neighboring municipality will let someone build if the first one doesn't. So urbanism slowly creeps in. seems weird that it never has in 20 years out

The property tax seems like a likelier answer. NIMBY-ism always strikes me as a weak answer. At least in the midwest, if one city won't build it the city next door will. Seems odd (and in my view, unlikely) that every single city bands

The zoning is what I'm wondering about. In most of the rest of the country large corporations make the rules. It seems the taxpayers in Silicon valley are the tech companies, and they want housing. So who is voting against changing the

I always see news articles about companies building campuses and headquarters out there. Can anyone tell me why Google/Facebook/apple can't just build a residential tower for 10,000 people next to their building? It seems the

I think that's the point though, to give power when you need power, and fuel efficiency when you don't. So everyone does do it, because its a good thing. I think you're making a mistake about what crime they're accused o

What kind of university has the space to start classes at 11AM? Just the logistics of trying to fit that many more classes into your limited building space seems impossible. You'd either need a lot more buildings, or you'd need to

No need to wait that long, just call them and say you'll fax over the proof. Lawyers don't want to be a party to a lawsuit later over a few thousand dollars if they might clearly lose it. They will keep some of his money as fees a

He should be calling up the plaintiff's lawyers, not BOA. Lawyers don't want to collect only to have to give it back. Find out who they are and call them. Any other attorneys involved as well. Once they have proof the money should

I have hired a freelancer for a small project from that thread, and it went pretty awesome.

Thanks. I'm a little surprised by the answers in this thread. I guess I run into what I'm kinda looking for so much I thought that it wouldn't be a big deal to find a turnkey solution. Everyday I use mobile apps that show me

Well, it seems that a shopper would search for different characteristics of a product and be given search results, much like I want a user to be able to do. They could then calculate shipping, which is analogous to calculating distances bet

Do you know of any providers that would charge a monthly fee instead of setting it up from scratch? Maybe I've misjudged, but this (searching data added in by users) is something common that a web service out there would already offer.

I said free or low cost. I'm not looking to low-ball anyone here or ask for free work on one of my ideas from the HN community. I'm looking for something out there that I can shoehorn my idea into at a low cost. It seems like what

No. We launched a travel magazine. Travel is a pretty hot start-up spot right now and there is a lot of money to be had. Giving people good content and travel companies a great way to reach customers is a great idea.

I just started using Textastic to code the next issue of our iPad magazine and I LOVE it. Freaking awesome app, can't say enough good things about it. On an iPad 1, never crashed, always smooth, its just a blast to use.

Hmm.. it doesn't seem to check if the website you're reviewing is actually there. The window just sits there, and if I go to the site it is down.
