#102Yes, founder of http://www.Qaym.com, a local business review site in Arabic
Re: Ask HN: Are you a founder?
#103No. I'm on my H1B visa.
Doesn't mean you can't found a company - you just can't be employed by it unless it sponsors your visa...

#104Founder of http://www.blibu.com I'm the developer, designer... and the rest
Hey, the website is down.
I am in touch with Twitter API folks to fix problems. Sometimes it goes down for a few seconds. We are looking into caching results so that the Search API is not queried on every page load.

#106I'm co-founder of http://agilezen.com/ -- lean project management app based on ideas from the Toyota Production System. I'm in charge of developing and maintaining the product, and my other co-founder/wife is in charge of keeping the business running.
Great application! With a bit of work it can jump!
Thanks. :)
Re: Ask HN: Are you a founder?
#107I guess technically I am, but I tend to be more of the hired-help role. ;)
Things I've founded alone:
http://fragtweet.com A simple Twitter & OAuth app in rails. Proof of concept and left dormant for now. It appears a competitor has been born that does everything I planned on doing, and does it well. Who am I to argue with progress? ;)
Things I helped build, but did not found:
http://ordercounter.com I helped these guys bootstrap when I was in college. Both founders are friends of mine, and I was asked to join in as a 30% stock holder but turned it down. I built the web based back-office interface and the online ordering system which allowed restaurants to specify a polygonal delivery area. Most of this was in PHP with some PERL for the Geocoder::US interface.
http://theamericancritic.com I took this project as a contract in college. Everything was built from scratch sans libraries in PHP. Another dev stepped in to help but that didn't work out for my client. I still have a backlog of O&M updates to do for this one.
http://mybloglog.com Little known fact, I did actually sort of work on MyBlogLog before its acquisition by Yahoo. I helped test the app internally at Cloudspace and designed the VC diagrams for the negotiations. I left the company before the sale, but it felt pretty good to be a part of that in any capacity.

#108Co-founder of a route mapping and performance analysis site, http://ridewithgps.com/ aimed at cyclists. Currently at 1100 users, 4000 user submitted routes and 1300 uploaded trips. Looking to upset the market leaders in a very lucrative industry that is void of innovation.
There are three of us, Zack and I are code/business/advertising and Cameron is graphic design. Works really well so far! We have a complete redesign launching this weekend, with an aggressive feature map after our re-launch.

Second co-founder. There are three of us, Zack and I handle most of the business, code and community relations, while Cameron handles all the graphics. Cameron's work has evolved into a complete redesign of our site, which will finally get us away from the comical blocky layout we currently have.
