    That's exactly what I'm thinking now. And what smart people have been advising me all along... it took me a while to hear them, though.

    Yeah, simple percentage, tip & discount calculators are the most used. Feature request come from markup/profit margin and "trader's" calculator users. And they have more serious ne…

    I agree with most things and that's been the general sentiment in our accelerator, too. However, I don't consider it a waste of time. Pitching is great in a way that it forces you …

    I'd love to hear about your experiences, too. Hope you can change your mind.

    CPLX, the whole point is I don't think I should. And yes, we want to make it a big thing, just wait and see :-)

    @zura: yes, it's running on Cordova, but we'll move to React Native as soon as we're comfortable with it (we're using React right now, although the iOS version is still on Angular)…

    @ohquu: people calculate craploads of things on a daily basis. More often than not they're using calculators that look pretty much the same as those in the 70's. I want to make it …

    Thanks. While I agree for the most part, I do think that raising money is an important validation. Often you hear about a project you wouldn't even consider interesting, but when i…

    afandian, This app is just an MVP, the future hopefully is much bigger. On of the reasons is "because it's what startups do" and "everybody thinks that's the next step". I do have …

    It's a bit embarasing, but I'm not sure. I released it in June or July and didn't notice it for a long time (wasn't an iOS user). Then we've been working on a complete rewrite for …

    There's more than a few companies and projects with "omni" in their names. It's a pretty generic word. If I called it "Awesome Calculator" or something like that we'd surely find a…

    The decision is far from undisputable, I'd love to hear what you think.

    These were my thoughts exactly. The guy cannot draw conclusions from the traffic and CPC numbers alone. The content's changed, the traffic sources probably changed (the sudden surg…

    Keith, thanks. You mean I should e-mail one of YC partners and ask for a quicker evaluation?

    Ask HN: When will we know if YC accepted/rejected the application?

    Hi, Quick one: the application deadline was yesterday. How long does it take for YC to make a decision and send out invitations and "we're sorry" e-mails? (I was told they send the…

    Thank you. So I think that I can build what I want in 3-4 months, but most likely will not be able to support that operation just yet. And I will not want to scale down just becaus…

    Ask HN: How long should money the 1st investment last?

    It's a bit weird situation. I got accepted into an accelerator, will go with them unless there's something I like more and there's just ~10 days left before I have to sign the pape…

    Come on, IMO the guy had the right to assume this lectures are made by cool people who won't mind. And if they do, he'll take it down. He created some value for a few people. Proba…

    Thank you... I'm arriving at the same conclusion. Most of all I want to move forward with the product and Axel Springer's programme is what makes it easier.

    I'm not dismissing the value of mentoring that easily. Just because I don't go to the Ivy League school doesn't mean it's irrelevant which university I pick. I've spend most of the…
