Unfortunately this relationship has the makings of a codependent relationship. When you combine a man who is probably insecure since he searches for dates on craigslist and a woman…

Offering loans at a 330% interest rate is "helping the poor", sounds like exploitation to me. Payday lending has been outlawed in many states due to the fact that it exploits poor …

This program can be very dangerous if you're a woman and your "investor" is a male. I can see all types of exploitation going on. As a lawyer I also know that this type of program …

Wow, this is really going to change the world. YC S12 is probably the best class out of YC so far. A mobile app that allows me to send a postcard to my mom...genius!!! A billion do…

I started off working on my startup as a single founder and found it enjoyable, especially the coding part. What I underestimated was the emotional challenge and that's where havin…

They even copied the pricing page verbatim, I have personally incorporated some 37signals design elements in my own websites but nothing to this extent. 37signals is a bit hypocrit…

I think jiggity said it best, restrict what you show on the homepage and show all the details on another page, that small change is a surefire way to get users further down the sal…

Intimidating...that's how I would best describe the look of your application. I'm guessing potential customers see a long learning curve ahead and want nothing to do with it. This …
