Love reading stories like this about what it's like in the early days of a new business. Those early decisions about what to do when you're struggling to get traction are so critic…

Agreed, and I think those fall flat because they are trying to hide the fact that they're automated. There's nothing wrong with automation—just don't try to lie about it! Personall…

Like many here building our own businesses, I had to learn the hard way how to do customer research—on my own. I wrote this as a short summary of what I've learned. Thanks for subm…

Thanks! The chrome extension will let you create new "mods" for specific pages. When making a mod, it listens for any edits you make: CSS, HTML, text, etc. When you publish, it tak…

Mod&Dot is a new design tool for anyone who works on websites. This is an early concept and I'm looking for advice. https://mod-dot.com/teaser/ After a site launches, revising the …

I love that you are proving to others that it's possible to build a great business and still be healthy and happy. So often the message from startups is to sacrifice everything—eve…

I really enjoyed this book—useful guide to communicating with clients. Has me thinking a lot more about what I write before pressing send.

From my perspective, this article is not suggesting people try to be someone else. It reminds me of the popular book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talk…

This is a goldmine! Thank you.

This would be nice because it's always a good idea to have a fallback payment processor.

Love that this gem does things the right way, like including background jobs. As a Rails newbie trying to build billing, all the code/tutorials/gems I could find weren't nearly thi…

Resonates so much. So, so many people never launch because of that fear. Good advice to reduce all the pressure on the single launch event. You can launch as many times as you want…

Congrats, the new site looks fantastic. You 3 do some of the best interviews of any podcast out there.

I also sell the framework I use for the landing pages separately here: http://cascade.io It provides more style options than designmodo's and fewer components, but I think they are…

Heh, good point. Fixed. The explanation is obviously intended for non-technical folks, so the distinction is probably lost there, but I do want to be correct.

Sorry if this was unclear, but I do include copywriting & marketing advice in the project.

Thanks for this—very insightful. I do include copywriting. For the case study, Justin already had copy that was in great shape. Other clients might not, so I'll provide writing fro…

I just sent Justin his new design yesterday. So, can't really blame him for not having it online yet. :)

There are quite a few good resources for developers to learn design. Disclaimer: I wrote a book on this topic, but because of that, I know resources made by other people too. --- S…

I think a lot of cultures (including much of startup culture) place too much emphasis on ideas. So many creative ideas really are stupid ideas. However, that doesn't mean creativit…

Knowing the value of an idea is difficult until we see it in hindsight, already fulfilled. I think that pretending to know the value of a creative idea when it's merely an idea is …
