#32Greeting cards have needed fixing for a long time, but the traditional card brands have tended to pay for fitting/fixtures etc. to have a monopoly in stores (at least here in Aus). Always good to see more competition in this space.

#33This will be a winner because: 1) Targets women, so leverages 50% of patio11's awesome advice. 2) Unlike the similar product I'm working on, solves the huge problem of content creation.
forgive me for my lack of knowledge of HN lore, but what was the advice? (a link/keywords for searching would be good :)
Give the Business of Software guys a few months and there will be a video which answers one of these questions in an amusing fashion.

In the meantime, to build upon euroclydon's summary, do you have any recommended articles about catering to, um, middle aged women? (software! I mean software-wise!)
On your blog I found only something about abusive customers :)

I have quite a few HN comments about it. Most of them boil down to "You should try selling software to women. Women pay money for software, unlike 20-something white and Asian males. You are more likely to sell software which solves a pressing problem for her than to sell software which solves a pressing problem for him like 'How do I steal music more efficiently?' Also, since the industry spends a disproportionate amount of time and effort on the needs of techies, the software currently available to her largely sucks, and fairly few competitors are in any given niche relative to the market opportunity. This is profitably exploitable: make something that she wants, charge money, she will happily pay you money."
