I'm actually very excited about this as an education tool where you can actually learn by coding.

Gotta be honest, I don't see the point of this app. As it is right now, it's useless to me. What benefit is it to me to see that someone "blacklisted" UPS? Guess what, I still have…

Remap 1 to l, O to 0 and vice versa (but only one out of three times)

I've never checked references. The best test for a developer, after interviewing them, is to work with them, for pay, for a few days or a week. That should quickly reveal any chara…

My one comment would be, I wonder how the customer feels receiving a message from the Founder of the company. One of two possible reactions: 1) Wow I'm really special to receive pe…

Thanks for the encouragement! Do you have any critical feedback for us? :)

Haha, thank you sir. That's what we were going for :). I had to sell magazine subscriptions and it suuuuuuuuuuucked. The funny thing is that kids are still using those tactics TODA…

We are the only platform that is 100% focused on kids. Kids have challenges that are not being addressed by the other crowdfunding platforms. 1) Kids under 13 need stricter privacy…

I do program at work, so I have logged many "flight hours" so to speak. I learned CS basics over time, but I created my first webapp in two weeks, knowing nothing of web technologi…

I feel bad for you son, but I can't completely blame the recruiter and the company in this case. Complaint 1: The recruiter asked you questions you didn't find relevant. I have oft…

A month to get started, years to master (and most never will master).

If you don't live in a "startup hub," it might be difficult but not impossible. Here in San Francisco, there are tons of tech meetups on meetup.com. If you can't find any tech meet…

Best is if you know someone in San Francisco. Where are you located currently? It can be hard to find short term rentals in San Francisco unless they are horrid corporate housing a…

What problem are you solving? What stage are you at in development? Are you looking for basic validation of your idea or getting validation for potential features/tweaks? If you ar…

Nice! And easy enough to do with git or a similar CVS. Just check out your code from a year ago and see how you've improved.

This inspired me with a crazy idea for an app: You download the app. Every night, the app serves up ONE bar or club with a little description, pictures, reviews etc. The list is cu…

Well, you will inevitably get the advice that you should quit. Barring that, I say create strict barriers for yourself to ease the mental context-switching. Say for example, you wi…

Interesting idea, and one I've seen before, but there's little incentive to contribute to this system. Reminds me of gasbuddy. In order for this to be crowdsourced, there would hav…

You're welcome.

...what? Being overly critical of yourself is not only no fun, it's also not particularly effective. Sounds like if you constantly reinforce that you're not good enough, you will l…

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing how this is better or different from the millions of other "online marketing" programs I've seen advertised on Warrior Forum or similar. Except this o…

Sounds like a classic case-study for Lean Startup methodologies. Why did you sink 6 months into this without knowing if people actually wanted it? Stop coding. Now. Go out and talk…

User acquisition is probably the biggest challenge for an early-stage startup ( http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html ). Your definition of "spamming," is pretty broad. "Spamming" …
