#2Back when I was running a web development company, I toyed with this idea a few times, but couldn't find a way to do it and not lose money. Hope your experience is different. Good luck!

Interesting, what happened that made you lose money? Were you pouring more time into the projects than you were getting paid for?

#4I like the idea, but:
$2,345 / (40 * 3) = $19.5416666667/hr
I guess if you're just starting, that's decent money, but I don't think I could run with the same idea myself. I'd probably need to add a 1 to the front of your number.

#5Good Idea. But your own website looks little lame. Hope you update it soon.

To be honest, I said 3 weeks just to be safe (the old rule of doubling what you think you need). The plan was also to work on multiple projects in parallel.
You're right though, I am just starting off, and already feel a bit guilty asking for anything north of $5k.

#7You should post this reddit.com/r/startups or /entrepreneur
This is like the one venue for most people CAN build out their ideas.

You are doing the wrong calculation. He isn't claiming to spend 40 hours a week on the prototype. This could be done in spare time, taking advantage of time that is probably netting $0/hr, and in many cases probably can be done in less than 120 hours (especially if he locked down the technology stack)

#9I have a feeling you'll be inundated, but I'll be reaching out to you shortly.

#10Question for you or Python users in general:
Why web.py over flask or django?
