    Ask HN: What does your workspace look like?

    Trying to get inspired for my year off work (to work on a start-up). Keen to see what space HNers work in. I have a pretty boring desk, dual monitor, macbook set up at the moment.

    "I'm okay with it if he truly does bring in work and isn't just dicking around all day" I think if that is the attitude you're taking going into this, partnering is a bad idea. You…

    Surely this can't come as a surprise to you. You started a business in the same industry as freelancer.com, leveraged off their service and have an almost identical name; how did y…

    In hmexx's scenario, once the MVP is ready, the developer has received the full amount of cash which is likely the main incentive. In your proposition, the main incentive is your c…

    This proposition provides far less value than hmexx's. I understand what you're saying about "execution" being more important than the idea - that is true, but execution also means…

    A simple, yet extremely useful site. Love it; I can see myself regularly using this.

    I prefer this to the standard cover letter, but make sure you don't come across too arrogant. e.g. this line is unnecessary in my opinion: "Do you remember your first CS class? How…

    Did you mention to him during the first 3 months that he was not performing? If not, it seems to me like you might just be looking for an excuse not to pay him because you can not …

    I think the issue you will face is agreeing on whether or not you have sent "quality" names. I wouldn't pay for a service which is based on a flat fee unless there was some quality…

    Beautiful site, great UX. I will be signing up and if the videos are as good as the samples I'll definitely be sticking around; worth $49 a month for sure. I love that you guys are…

    Hi Tarekayna, That has probably been the most consistent feedback we have received - "nothing to prompt me once I log in". I'm glad you pointed that out as well. The quick tour is …

    Fair point. I'm actually not marketing for customers yet, just trying to get some feedback.
