How I can help: I'm a former startup data analyst and strategy consultant. I can give a few hours to help with making sense of the data you're collecting or think about how to start capturing 3rd party data.
I worked with a dozen startups to put together the Startup Sticker Pack: http://startupstickerpack.com/ A dozen stickers from cool companies for $5. I'd love to hear from people about why they would / wouldn't want to buy one. It's not quite selling as well as I'd hoped. I'd also like to hear from startups / groups who might be interested in buying one for each member of their team. You can email me at mail+hmo@rober…
A couple of observations:
I'm a non-USian, and while it looks like you ship worldwide for 5 USD, it's not crystal clear. Be good to make it so.
Also, I'm a Brit -- we're very polite ;-) -- so 5 USD including postage feels like I'm taking food off your table. I think most non-USians would be happy to pay an extra couple of bucks. Just a thought. Or maybe go down the middle and say, 5 USD + 1 USD shipping worldwide.
(Here's my thinking: Hmm. 5 USD. Seems cheap. What if it doesn't really include shipping. Hmm. Don't really want to get into that discussion. Move on.)
Also, while you have some great start-ups in their -- \o/ Buffer -- personally, I'd be in the market for cool tech. I see you have Firebase, which is awesome, but my current faves would include redis, jruby (new logo recently), and a few others.
It would increase your workload, but of you could let a customer pick, say, twelve from 20 or 30, mixed start-ups and tech, that would be great.
Okay, I'm rambling. Good luck with it.
I'm a trained journalist and would be happy for anyone to bounce media-related ideas off me. Easy to find on the Web.
I am working on an electronic product (a kind of smart card) but have very little expertise with electronics. So far, I've been trying to outsource the electronic design as much as possible in order to focus on the firmware. Even then, I am starting to reach a limit. I'd like to get in touch with someone who would know how to program something useful on a random micro-controller given the micro-controller's data shee…
Worked full time as an EE for a few years, and now have a small niche electronics business on the side. I can't say that I have the time to take on a design project right now (depends on specifics) but I should be at least able to help you vet the skills of people you find or help you over any sticking points if you want to DIY.
I also recently learned what node is and think it's pretty cool. Contact info in profile.
I made a basketball management simulation video game: http://basketball-gm.com/ My original motivation was for fun and learning, but now I have several hundred people playing every day (average 1 hr each) and it's making $600/month in ads. Problem is, I don't know how to take it to the next level. I think my main issues are no marketing knowledge and a complete lack of connections in the video game and sports industr…
Do you mean TOUGH decisions?
HMO: I'm designing and running a STEM curriculum for a local Boy Scout camp. We'll have more than 1000 11-17-year-olds come through to do merit badges and "Open STEM" which is basically relatively unstructured exploration of STEM related stuff (see: building catapults, model aircraft, what-if.xkcd.com style questions). We don't have a huge budget, but there's a small fund for needs. I would appreciate: - Advice on wh…

email in profile. HMO: I'm launching a static site generator that comes with a fully-featured CMS so that your non-tech friends can edit the site. It allows frontend engineers to build a custom CMS through a form-builder and then scaffolds templates out of them. I'd love to have some general feedback on the concept and what would keep you from using it. I'm worried that we're targeting too small a segment (frontend e…
It would be cool if this was a website (or maybe simply a subreddit?) instead of an HN thread which will disappear in a few hours...
wsend.net is an easy way to send files from the command line. Trying to figure out how to get more people using it. Tell your friends about it / Tweet it out
