Symphony makes $2500/month ( http://www.symphonytools.com ). Launched 4 months ago. Back in December, my co-founder and I spent 3 weeks brainstorming and wrote 25 business plans for 25 ideas. And then chose this one. Started

That's probably intentional. A lot of people would buy the higher plan simply to avoid buying the "hobby" plan.

Which of the analytics tools were the most useful? Did you use Google Analytics goal conversion tracking?

by waleedka 13y ago
Keep in mind it's a paid, and pricy, service with a very specific type of customer. Don't compare it to conversion rates of other services that have a wider audience. Tripling the conversion rate is huge for them, and no small tas

Love the video. Sooo awesome.

Agreed. I read it hoping to be convinced (wanting to be convinced), but it was too wordy and lacked a compelling argument. I do believe privacy is important and we should all care about it. But I also want to read a strong well-written argu

Same here, at first I thought it was a new app. We use it too, and usually call it Pivotal, for short.

Bootstrap 3 is not launched yet and Foundation 4 is. That's what I meant by "slightly ahead".

by waleedka 14y ago
For comparison, also check Foundation 4.0, launched about 10 days ago. Foundation seems to be slightly ahead (as in, already launched) in moving to newer technologies (mobile-first, border-sizing:border-box, ..etc). http://www.zurb.com/art

Nope. I'm looking for videos from this year, not previous years.

Is there any place to watch previous videos for those of us who missed them?

Maybe you missed the humor tone in that headline. The meaning is the opposite of what the words say.

My impression of Digg power users at the time was that many of them were participating in voting rings to promote each other's sites and a few were even making money pushing links to the home page. Not all of them of course, but the few tha

Agreed. I've been using App Engine for a while and bad customer service is my main issue with it. I can tolerate poor support for free products, but not for business products that I pay a lot for.

Interestingly, the Python code I've seen from Google uses 2-space indents rather than 4 as the style guide recommends. And that includes code written by Guido himself (AppStats and NDB, tools used in App Engine). I prefer 2 spaces as well,

It brings up the question: why did posterous stop doing this? Even before they pivoted to the spaces idea, they slowly deemphasized the email-to-blog feature and then removed it from their home page completely. What kind of problems did the

Before blaming the 50% drop-off on Facebook, you should measure the drop-off of the ID/password approach and compare the two. I would expect the drop-off for any login method to be relatively high on mobile apps. Anyone has data they can sh

I built http://www.bitpixels.com a while ago, when I needed to generate thumbnail images and the available options were too expensive. It's available for free and serves a few million thumbnails a month. I didn't add a lot of advanced fea

Looks like a solid app, and fast as well. It's clear that the developers care about quality. But I'm sticking with GitX because GitBox is still missing a few key features: - It doesn't have a good representation of the branch tree (like Git

by waleedka 15y ago
I was excited when I heard about it, but after 5 minutes I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's very well designed. But it didn't add value for me. I use GitX and I find it more useful, and has a better UI.

Same here. Voted other. I have a big database on the App Engine, and I'm moving more of my data from mysql to the datastore.

I believe you might've missed the point. The way to succeed is to set a higher goal and a bigger vision than your competition, not to make it your goal to destroy them.

Good point. Another technique I use is to send unrelated items in separate emails. People tend to use the inbox as a todo list, so getting 3 short emails is easier to manage than one long email. Once you act on one, you archive it and move

They've been giving out nice gifts at Google IO in the last few years, so a lot of people are hoping to get either an Android tablet or phone.
