I have not dealt with this situation so I can only offer my own opinion. What's important is for you to figure out what you would like to do. As the founder of the company, you're …

Javascript: Ember.js / Node.js / Socket.io / jQuery DB: MongoDB / PostgreSQL Learning: Java Novice: Python / RoR Eventually: Redis

Initial thought when browsing through the site was, "A mobile app would be handy." Looks like you guys got that covered. Something that would be really nice is a demo of the app in…

Unfortunately, it is pretty common. One school at the university I attended wanted to really hire someone, but his condition was that they hire his wife. They didn't think she "fit…

That's unfortunate. For some reason that reminded me of high school. The AP English teacher was notorious for being considered almost crazy. Her son was a classmate of mine too and…

Not necessarily a root cause problem, but it is still a problem that affects the quality of education and research. Tenure was intended to allow for the things you're stating (i.e.…

It is in need of disruption, and it's a wicked problem. There's no simple solution and no easy starting point. Perception is definitely something that needs to change, but unfortun…

As you've mentioned, admin doesn't deal with scheduling really since it's mostly automated and what they do aren't worthless things, necessarily. What does happen, however, is most…

-Who's your target audience? -Why would someone want to use weeZeel? I'm having a hard time trying to understand the benefit of something like weeZeel. It may be that I'm just not …

If I remember correctly, the saying goes, "If you're not embarrassed by it when you release it, then you've released it too late." :)

Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but I'll share some since I looked at the site. 1) Unless having an account is a necessity for it to function, having a default account to …

Just wanted to say congrats on shipping!

I'm not much of a movie person, but I agree with what was said earlier about it not being clear how everything works. For example, I click on rankings and have no clue how the rank…

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

Sorry about that. I made the app so that you can organize your todos into projects (so more of a pm app), and invite others to work with you on projects. What I could try and do is…

I know the subject is about brewing, but I have to agree. Loving the Rancilio.

Small suggestion: On the "Pricing & Sign-Up" page maybe emphasize free by making it all caps of bold. >Forever free For some reason this feels weird to me. Maybe switch it up to ma…

It's really encouraging to see someone ship something despite all the doubts. I agree with parent and find this really encouraging. I've built a similar prototype as well, but just…

I'm not sure why the focus has to be on whether or not self-help books are helpful? After reading what he wrote, my takeaway was that he's sharing things he's discovered about hims…

I'm doing the same. Don't know many people who're interested in doing a startup for the right reasons, so I'm just focusing on building the MVP and keeping things going while I kee…

I'm interested in helping out, and sent you a message via your site's contact form. Personally, really having fun with Node.JS, Socket.IO, and MongoDB :)
