In the SF Bay area, lots of people regularly trek from South Bay to work in SF - often between 60+ - 30 miles each way. Whenever I need to go into the city, it's 55miles each way. Fortunately I don't have to do it daily but it suc

You can't have it both ways. If you raise money from VCs, their expectation is to have a huge return. Things that have worked when you are a small startup will not work when you get bigger in order to grow enterprise revenues. If those

I have to disagree here. Much waste is created by founder developers precisely because they can code, but they are not necessarily creating value ( I'm just as guilty ). Good managers / the business, call it whatever you will figu

Tell me more about this all-in insurance. Where would you find these types of insurance companies. I run a small digital studio and run into similar problems from time to time with startups - it's always startups.

There's already some monetization opportunities in the app - iTunes affiliate. Video ads, etc. We also have potential partnership opportunities and other revshare opportunities coming.

You can surf trailers right now - there's a whole trailers section. Notifications are coming in the next version - with the use cases you mentioned (when the movie is out in theaters or available on itunes etc)

It's 100% native - objective-c. No Swift yet since it's too new and I like to see examples of what's out there and existing codebase. It's mostly a UI for someone else's API so the backend is very lightweight. We us

Founder of the app here. Ever since Yahoo Weather came out, it's displaced my default weather app. I really liked it's intuitive and easy to use interface. That's what I was trying to go for here. Hope you guys like it.
