This sounds interesting. I definitely need some feedback on my app Finderous. It's a location based groups app where users can start their own groups or join other interest groups. the app can be downloaded at https://itunes.apple.com/us/a

When I decided to rewrite my webapp, I considered switching from GWT front end and php backend to an MVC framework. I wanted to try django so I started re-writing my app with it. But I found the learning curve to be too steep and I didn't w

Well, the idea took shape when a few people at my work place wanted to form a private group of marathon training group, but didn't want to use work emails or meetup.com as it was too expensive for such a casual group. That's when I realize

Using #! (hashbangs) in not advisable as you will be presenting different pages to the users and the web crawler for the same URL. If you can make sure that you present the same content to the users and the crawler then you should be fine.

That would be a pretty bold move. But say, you wouldn't want some random co-founder to work on a project with you until you are very comfortable working with him/her. I guess that's pretty much the case with YC too. They are looking for fo

Got a reject. I kinda feel relieved now. Time to focus on how I can do better with my project. All the best guys.

Thanks. I started to look into Pyjamas which is all goodness of GWT but written in Python. Node.js and Restify look good. I will need to explore more on these. The main reason I wanted to have multithreading in my app was to send notific

I have no experience with Heroku, but I would definitely recommend Dotcloud. I run my webapp, iphone and android app with the same backend on dotcloud and I can scale it up or down depending upon the traffic. Except for a few minor issues t

My first webapp http://www.drawmics.com is like twitter for comics/images. I haven't got time to work more on it, but it's pretty good at the current state. It usually gets 50 views per day. Check it out.

When I wanted to develop a mobile app, I started with PhoneGap and then Appcelerator, but I really didn't like the outcome. The UX didn't cut it in terms of visual appeal. Then I decided to learn Obj-C and started to go through the Stanf

I love the interface and the colors. Also a nice use of tabs on the top. Here are a few questions and comments that I have: 1. How does one edit a list and add a picture? 2. Can a note be smart enough to fetch a relevant picture and display

I got some good review comments on my Finderous mobile app. Now I am pivoting it to make open/closed location based groups. Similar to meetup but a lot more casual.

A good starting point would be to have your design elements aligned in such a manner that they conform to the Fibonacci Golden Ratio. Here is a link to a few articles that describe Golden Ratio usage in web designing: 1. http://webdesign.a

I just listened to the audio. I practice positive affirmations myself and your scripts associate a visual+auditory elements to the affirmations, which is great. I think I will have to make a habit of listening to them daily.

I use GWT for front end and PHP on the back end. Since I was more comfortable in Java, GWT came out to be a natural choice.
