I've had great experiences with voice-over services etc, but I'm a bit hesitant with creative work like logos (most just run through online logo creators). I do earn some[0] though…

Yup, for RSS there are ways to implement this out of the box. I was thinking more about regular people who don't know or use RSS, people that publishers would like to retain over t…

How about this? I see a lot of breaking news websites (or blogs that post a story whose details they "update as details come in" have no way (ok, maybe I just haven't come across i…

A great conversation regarding handling multiple side projects https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7637409

I don't know if this qualifies, but the 3D industry which I was pretty involved with for a time comes really close. It is just as "closed", in that they are as sure as developers a…

That won't make too many people happy, especially considering they're targeting a market that may have never heard of Stripe or aren't technical enough to pick the Stripe fee inclu…

Thanks for this. You went pretty much against the norm. So on twitter you just sent tweets out about your solution and nothing more?

Focus is key definitely, but isn't there elbow room a bit if you build (usually) SaaS products where it addresses some nichey problem so much there isn't much to be done feature-wi…

Wow, five. Yeah it's a strain juggling client work and a startup, I decided a few months ago to die of kwashiorkor if that was what it would take for my startup to show me some (re…

Interesting. I guess like patio11 said it's key to build up one then automate as much as possible and then move to the next. Thanks for the answer

Yes it must. So that you can point and remind the customer of their legal defeat. I think @inaccessible suggested a subtle way of doing it

Not master a new language, just dabble in an added few. Kill off an hour of bore learning some NodeJS or AngularJS, what's there to lose? If there's nothing to actually be gained. …

Kippt. I really recommend Kippt. You can also create public collections and have other people contribute to them. I also apply some FollowUpThen if I need to come back to it soon

Talking serious startups (not odd weekend hacks) I started 3. The first had traction but no revenue (because of market challenges). So I pulled the plug on it and launched #2 to so…

Ouch. How was the end though? One worked or you decided to lay it off a bit

Sounds like a plan. Well best of luck with Flickseeker, Fitloop & Wanderdash :)

Do you live off of them full time? Great gem there. I've noticed the same but hadn't had it stuck in my mind that the building stage is the most involving but after that (for most …

Thanks for that. I have about 3 running. 1 for over a year with growing revenue and big customers (relative to small me), another enterprise one which is going extremely well for a…

How many side-startups (with actual users) do you own? Especially asking folk who have a main startup they run. In your practical experience how much of a distraction is adding one…
