It inspired me to make Hacker Monthly.
The truth is, we don't know yet. And we definitely didn't try to solve/improve software development lifecycle/plannings.
We built this for people like us: bunch of friends working on fun projects and trying to get it out of the door.
- $5 is our first attempt on finding the right balance for most people where they would be motivated and wouldn't cheat.
- We definitely thought of giving the money to charity. But we would be more inclined to use the resource to do something really interesting (more or less along the lines with "giving it to someone more deserving"), hopefully to build up a "community of shippers" in long term.
The app doesn't work this way (pledge money). It's simply a tweet scheduler which charges $5 to make changes every time.
If we were to start over again (and if it wasn't just a weekend thing), we would have make the site invitation only and keep the men to women ratio 50:50. Then grow the userbase slowly (with whichever way we could).
Overall, according to our user stats, women had no problem signing up. It's just that we launched in the tech circle with overwhelming numbers of men.
But it puzzles me why did they build their own digital delivery solution from scratch instead of using something like GumRoad?
In Malay, it means "value/worth".
I'm wondering if there's something that refreshes the browser when you make changes to the CSS files _before_ saving? Like CSSEdit (which I've used religiously for the past 2 years), but applies to all sort of files (HTML/HAML, SASS/SCSS/LESS).
