I haven't seen any successful MVPs out of games. What I have seen is gaming studios developing very good products (Angry Birds, Kingdom Rush etc) and releasing them for free, and t…

It would be more useful if you stated your specific interest of the body language / general cues. Eg., Is it for... dating women? making sales / closing deals? making friends? spot…

Interesting observations. How long did you work on this before you came to the conclusion? How many companies did you approach? Who (and what titles) did you speak with?

Thanks for the feedback, particularly on the pricing. Agreed with all of the first point. Based on firsthand experience working at 3 startups and with a handful of business owners,…

Dear HN community, let me know your thoughts. If you are a founder or know someone who's having the exact problem, please put them in touch so we can help you better serve your cus…

I have used Amazon and Smashwords for over 2 years now. Both services have grown, expanded, and improved, in terms of my user experience (checking reports, accurate payments). I ha…

There has been a lot of threads* with people becoming disillusioned with the startup world. A prominent startup figure has mentioned that there is a lot of posturing, positioning i…

Exactly this. Another advice from a book, which stuck with me: "If you have the desire to do something, do it, because if you wait too long, you will find that the desire has left …

Totally agreed. I think the biggest issue with the Gen XYZ (I am part of X) is that we as a whole (a big generalization, of course there are exceptions) tend to be too self-centere…

Location: Washington, DC (relocating to San Diego OR San Francisco fall 2014) Remote: YES, 90% of the time Willing to relocate: No (see above) Technologies: Mainly front end, but f…

Our refrigerator. It is big and things easily go bad if we don't periodically go through and do an "inventory" of what's there, what needs to be eaten. A fridge should, ideally: Tr…

@OP, it seems that @logicalmind has the exact opposite problem as you. You know, I could start a startup that is like "TradingPlaces", where you get to swap professions by getting …

Collabfinder is another service to find collaborators. I tried Cofounderslab.com, Collabfinder and did not find the quality people I was looking for. Perhaps not surprisingly, HN y…

I'm planning a move to the Bay Area soon from the DC area and am juggling a bunch of startup opportunities. This open-ended question is probably for a startup person who has reloca…

Chobani is a hugely profitable, capital-intensive billion-dollar company that was 100% bootstrapped. http://hbr.org/2013/10/chobanis-founder-on-growing-a-start-u...

I think this is a great idea and thought of doing this previously in other areas besides fitness. But the obvious challenge to overcome is that you need to find people who are into…

I'm planning on relocating to the Bay Area this summer and would like to get a feel for the traffic from/to the San Francisco Bay Area from neighboring areas such as Oakland Hills …

Hi everyone, I'm temporarily relocating to the bay area to accelerate my bootstrapped startup and am looking for a spare room/couch/sleeping area with a fellow techie. I'm looking …

Exactly this. It's terribly demoralizing to go through the bs associated with a job search after a failed startup. I would be happy to start something up with one or more cofounder…

Thanks for the info!

Anyone with experience managing a 10+ person global application support team? I'd appreciate some tips and pointers specific to working across timezones.

The perfect job doesn't exist, so I'd recommend finding an outlet for creative self-expression first in your after hours, and quit your job only if you are having health issues rel…

From first hand experience helping startups: If your app has the remote possibility that it can be abused by fraudsters, scammers, con people, ask for credit card at the start of t…
