Hi HN, I'm working on a side project and am wondering if I should make the time commitment to use a CRM or just a spreadsheet. I would love to get feedback from the community.

Take a look at your states health exchange and get the plan that you think is right for you. I got a silver plan thinking I would save some money but one trip to the emergency room…

I've seen Enterprise projects become open sourced in the past and the biggest problem that they face is that no community builds around them. It is not trivial to get other folks t…

First for a bit of background. How much data will you be pushing across? Things are easier if you can send full objects instead of partial objects. How much does latency matter? If…

At the last startup I worked at one thing we did was we manually input data for our customers. The application only really became useful after a time investment by the users to loa…

It might be subtle and is similar to what others have said, but if you find the founders running out of steam, losing passion, for the startup, that can be a sign.

Capping student loans would definitely be a positive first step in the process. A study conducted by the federal reserve bank of NY found that: "We find apass-through effect on tui…

I think this really shows 2 things. 1) the amount of debt accumulated by this group for their degrees is much larger than they're comfortable with 2) how much more important person…

So I do agree with the rest of the comments that the absolute fastest way is to ship the disks and then copy the data. Now that being said if you can't or would rather not ship any…

I really like this list and would add one more that I think if very important. Enable Fast iterations Weather it's a fast loop to test and make changes, or the batteries included m…

It all depends on what the web developer is trying to accomplish. Without knowing that the best advice I could give is make sure you have a quite environment. Everything else aside…

I'm earlier in my self employed consulting journey then you are and I'm seeing a similar pattern. When I'm busy I'm extremely busy working lots of hours, but then I'll have some ti…

So I was excited to understand what this tool was all about, but I got lost in the text pretty quickly. At first it seemed like a personal organization tool, then it looked like a …

Thanks! I'll definitely have a look at these.

That makes sense to me. Are you planning on doing any Google advertising or Facebook advertising? I ask because I'm hoping to launch my own SAAS in the next month, and am trying to…

Great idea. Your page has a really nice design, it's easy to tell what your product is and the value proposition. Also I had a look through your blog, I saw that your marketing che…

I'm not sure that you could extrapolate to that wide an audience. One of the largest factors would have to be exposure to that interest, if you aren't exposed to it, then you can't…

I'm curious how this list got put onto reactdom, I bet there is an interesting story behind that. PS. I'm a huge Scala fan, I've used it both professionally and for side projects

This is interesting as I've typically made friends along lines of interest. I guess my next question would be are genetically similar people more likely to have similar interests. …

I think pricing a project could be pretty tough and taking a quick look at your site I didn't see any guides or advice on pricing, it might be worth offering some direction to pote…

Thanks for sharing this. I've got a few side projects that I need to finish and launch, and this will help me stay motivated to get it done.
