I'll be watching your github repo / release notes pretty closely - will try and make a simple people / event entry + reminder only mobile app for my personal use (and for others, if there's interest).

If you don't mind sharing, what's the system that you moved to from Bullet Journal (if any)?

Could you point to some examples where this has worked? It seems that the entry fee would either 1. limit the community's growth severely (not necessarily a bad thing), or 2. filter out good candidates.

The latter case has worked out great for us at helme.io. Our computational forecast library is written in Clojurescipt, while the rest of the application is in JS + Angular.

A word of warning: with Clojurescript, at least, there is a big cost to converting between JS and CLJS types. This has been a big painpoint as our need for frequent calculations increases. Still, we wouldn't have it any other way.

We've really enjoyed c3.js (http://c3js.org/). It has a wide offering of visualizations types and come with nice on-hover tooltips, which is something that I've had trouble finding anywhere else. Unfortunately it's difficult to customize their offerings, but they've covered 90% of our usecases.

Disk space

That's not the message (most) are conveying. The formula is:

Great team + great market = great business (for some definition of great, almost always < 1bn)

Great team + great market + luck = billion dollar business.

It seems your experience actually does matches up with the author's thesis. As in the credit union with 74% female supervisors, companies with higher female makeup purportedly had less difference in the way female and males were perceived when they spoke up.

A mathematically established lower bound on the longest possible go game is 10^10^48 [1]. While this isn't infinite, it's certainly large enough to be considered infinite in practice.

My first thought was: github integration would be killer. I would pay to be able to code review with this tool on git repos.

What's powering your setup? I've also been using Dashing to create my company's internal dashboards and decided to hook a Raspberry Pi up to the display to show the dashboards. Unfortunately it's turned out to be massively underpowered, especially because our dashboards are pretty data / chart heavy. Was just going back to the drawing board when I saw your post.

I usually will ask the person I'm interviewing to describe their job or the activity which I am posing a solution to. In the case of my startup, I'll ask them to describe their experience planning and running a conference as if I knew nothing. Their pain points will naturally emerge as they describe their processes, and their real issues usually become obvious by the way they describe their job (even if they don't know their issues consciously themselves!).

I usually go for long interviews (30 minutes to an hour) and look for commonalities between them after every batch of 5 or so.

If more than 2/3 of the people express a pain point, I know there's a real problem there. In my case, I'm trying to craft an MVP with 3 or so main features. Every person I've interviewed so far has expressed the same base 3 pain points (in addition to other needs which varied from person to person) so I know what I'm going to focus on solving with my MVP.

I usually use around 5 questions an interview, but sometimes I've asked as many as 10 or 15 depending on how talkative the person I'm interviewing is.

Have you looked at Sentiment140? http://www.sentiment140.com/ It's a nice tool for sentiment analysis on Twitter with a free REST API.
