Its a completely different way to think about things when you can push an update versus doing an expensive manufacturing run.

Wait... You want it to to be natural? That means you would likely have never seen that post with all the likes. The likes would have been irrelevant on a chronological news feed.

people still use QR codes?

"flat" is a pretty ambiguous and miss used word, hence the quotes. In fact, "flat" designs use depth more frequently (ie one ui element over another). the "flat" trend is more about removing superfluous (subjectively) design elements

A good "flat" design needs to be designed from the ground up. You can just remove gradients and shadows and expect to have an intuitive ux.

My buddy got an internship directly under Gary Vaynerchuck by tweeting. It can definitely work!

not sure. its pretty easy to send voice notes on windows phone. maybe if it was something fun?

me as well. very funny

If I had a kid/wasn't a kid myself I'd bid. I'd imagine this is one of the most inspiring events a young person could witness

midtown madness is where its at

is this a simplified way of sending a voice not through sms?

the precision of control on this thing is wild

student

This is awesome. CSS is becoming very powerful. I was proud of myself when I made a simple css triangle

Damn i thought my screen was super dirty but it was the fixed background lol. service looks useful too. Maybe if I start doing more freelancing this will be useful.

I think you interpret "get shit done" different than I do. Not trying to put words in your mouth, but I think you interpret as get this product out ASAP. I think of it as take responsibility for yourself, if you need a break, take a break. Whatever you need to do to "get shit done", do it.

very interesting

I've got to agree. Some clients aren't worth their weight in gold. The worst part about these clients is that you come out with nothing to show. they were stubborn and wanted something built their way and not the right way. Too many hours, too little money, and a crap final product.

I certainly understand needing to support your family. But I understand why investors are so leery. Additional $$$ in the business and a redesign would probably result in more users but probably not a substantial increase in revenue. Your monetization strategy is not working at 6 million(impressive btw) users then why would it work at 12 million users. There is a very small ROI with the current strategy. Properly monetizing 6 million users would result in alot more than just beer money.

what you've done is awesome. With a few tweaks to the business model you could generate real revenue without needing to raise investment capital.

This is the way a business should be run. LinkedIn gets a +1 in my book

Why would you need funding? Your product seems "finished" and you have a ton of users. You just need to monetize better than crappy ads

You should still be thinking big. But more importantly you need to think of small actionable items that will slowly get you to a big idea.

What incentive do VCs and accelerators have vet significantly more startups?

Its to prevent "Grandma Sally" from investing her retirement savings in high risk start-up because she isn't "financially sophisticated" to understand the risks.

can't agree more
