Looking for a bit of career advice. I started back in '99 as a developer, and was fortunate to make my way to CIO of a small IT service company. I like people, understanding busine…

Anyone out there successfully sold a SaaS app to small/offline businesses? Essentially those such as landscapers, architects, accountants, lawyers, etc. Since these aren't necessar…

Assuming folks perform a bit of their business via email correspondence...do you currently track and bill for this time and/or what do you use to track the time?

I was working on a very similar idea, only got as far as a prototype before getting pulled onto something else...so kudos if you are able to run with it. In alignment with your ben…

I'd simply suggest that you post here a little bit about what you are working on and the skill set you are hoping to bring onboard, with your contact information as there are alway…

Great. I've been looking for something simple like this to implement in my SaaS product. I'll give it a spin tonight.

Fair point. Our only hesitation is that on our website using a pseudonym wouldn't add much to our credibility as folks using the app want to know more about us and what we are abou…

He works for a large corporation that prevents him (has him sign a clause) from having outside businesses. That, plus they are in downsizing mode, so he figures if they catch wind …

Having recently bootstrapped and launched a workflow SaaS app, my (non-technical) co-founder is working on the marketing of it. The problem is, his current fulltime job prevents hi…

Yes. I had a similar thought last year, registering ideaserving/ideaservingsize.com, but obviously never did anything with it. My thought was to have folks post their ideas, and ea…

I'm a RoR newbie and looking for a good tutorial/examples on customizing the errors/alerts (via flash, etc) that are returned with Rails. I'm especially interested in those using R…

Eric: Thanks for sharing, and great tips. As someone who is in the same boat, I'm always curious as to how others handle the situation. I'm assuming your goal is to leverage the su…

I see the occasional post on here for jobs, but what other sites have you used to find good opportunities...especially contract/telecommute. Thanks.

Congrats on getting the product built. The key now, before you perform any additional work on it, is to determine if there is a need/want for your product outside of your current u…

HN Readers: I've learned a ton over the years by reading about others who have bootstrapped. Whether its via 37Signals, Bootstrapped and Profitable series, or other blog posts. But…

You might want to reach out to PHPFog ( https://phpfog.com/ ), as they (can) offer what you need.

You may want to look to leverage a PHP framework (i.e. CodeIgniter, Yii, Zend, etc.) to help facilitate some of the heavier lifting for you. I prefer CodeIgniter, and have had good…

Thanks. I've been following the lean lessons, and agree that its worked well. And I have learned my own lessons, the hard way with respect to using a new technology...I recently pi…

I'm working full-time for the govt, while bootstrapping my SaaS product. The govt job is mind-numbingly terrible, but does allow me the flexibility to work on my product. With that…

I'm bootstrapping my web application, and while I have a non-technical cofounder, he is strictly business-oriented, which leaves the product management/direction, development, conf…

I've gone through the process of qualifying a need for SAAS product I'm currently building that targets a niche within the (non-technical) "work from home" market. And while I've g…

Apologies in advance for the length of this. I'd spent the previous 12 years in IT, starting out as a programmer and making my way up the management chain until I was CIO for a sma…
