Great progress, Amir. Now, if only more startups adopt your away-trip practice :)
andryharyanto··on The Ryno: Why two wheels when you need just one?
It's as if the maker of Ryno read Paul Graham's post on Segway and implemented his suggestions.

"So there may be a way to capture more of the market Segway hoped to reach: make a version that doesn't look so easy for the rider. It would also be helpful if the styling was in the tradition of skateboards or bicycles rather than medical devices."

andryharyanto··on Clipboard officially open to the public
Can you elaborate on the "structured data" and how it's gonna be useful? To the average user, it seems like the biggest value proposition here is the ability to keep your posts private. For those who don't need to keep things private, how is it better than using Pinterest?

andryharyanto··on Meet My Cofounder: Quit 6-figure VC job, bootstrapped a startup in Asia
My buddy and I have always wondered how it would be like to launch a company. In September 2011, he quit his high-paying job in Silicon Valley, traveled 10,000 miles to Indonesia (which has the #2 largest facebook user base, btw), and bootstrapped a startup. This is his story.

The company in question is www.urbanindo.com - the easiest way to buy and sell properties in Indonesia.
