They are asking about a consumer SAAS

All the replies so far are making me envious of when my weekends were my own (or just me and my girlfriend, now wife). Weekends now revolve around the sports and activities of our …

Congratulations on building something of value and successfully selling it. It's quite the achievement and most don't get to this level. I do have to say, I was somewhat surprised …

I recommend The SaaS Playbook: Build a Multimillion Dollar Startup Without Venture Capital by Rob Walling.

I also have first-hand experience with this scenario (shared here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39043885 ) and if we had followed that line of thinking we would have unnece…

I'm truly sorry for this event, OP. As a father, I cannot fathom how this feels, but I have had a taste of it when my young brother-in-law was in a catastrophic car accident. I hes…

Thanks for this. Fortunately we got a white Wii U, which it sounds like shipped with Samsung nand and is unaffected by this issue.

I just bought my kid a used Wii U for Christmas. If I only care about his ability to play games offline, should I be concerned?

Your app is profitable but not "ramen profitable". If a business is ramen profitable, it means it's making just enough money for the founders to pay for living expenses

I think that's a subjective interpretation. Others would define a cloud server as any server that someone else owns and you don't have physical access to it.

Are you only looking for huge unicorn-like examples? I founded and bootstrapped a startup the year my 3rd child was born and exited it (for a life-changing amount) about 4 years la…

We use puma-dev for this https://github.com/puma/puma-dev

It's working for me, as of 10:43am EST.

The recovery may be in-progress, but while my dashboard came back briefly (with broken charts), I'm now still getting this message: "Sorry, something went wrong. We've already been…

Yes, their dashboard has been down since about just before 9am EST. Payment processing and the API seem to still be working. https://twitter.com/stripestatus/status/167476753906530…

This is a great topic and I support the OP for posting it. However (and as a PoC myself), to me, "Tell HN" is generally reserved for alerting the community to statements of fact (e…

I did this. Founded a bootstrapped startup with wife, kids, mortgage, that eventually and unexpectedly led to a life-changing exit. The key is that I didn't jump into it full-time …

I'm not sure if it was your intent, but that comparison makes the fishing output seem even more outsized to me, given the size of the auto industry.

In his jurisdiction (NYC), probably. Not everywhere, even though in places where this is technically prohibited (e.g Canada), it is poorly enforced.

I don't really get this rule in the context of a startup. In poker, the point is for there to be a win-lose arrangement where you are the winner. Are you saying that one should onl…

Is the parent OP light gray because of the status of the poster or due to downvotes? If it's the latter, it saddens me that this Reddit-esque behavior is finding footing on HN. You…

This is great advice as an employee (which I try to follow and sometimes succeed), but practically impossible to follow as a founder.
