Thanks. Hope that day comes :-)

yes. It is a big mental barrier breakdown. It brings "making money" online into the realm of possibility for me. Congratulations on your success as well.

Thanks.. It was originally designed as a free software. I introduced the paid option when I realized there was a demand for it, especially from the PR industry.

Nice take on the Seinfeld technique. I will try this.

love this comment. I did the same thing. I forwarded my wife the Paypal receipt the moment I realized I had a sale. Its her birthday tomorrow and I have quit my job to pursue my dreams for 4 months now, so its extra special.

Thanks

Thanks. It does and is also very motivating. I feel that if I can sell one I can sell more.

I am thinking of working on the UI and the positioning a bit more.

combiclickwise··on Launching my new web-based timeline software this week. Sneak preview for HNers
Awesome. looks great. The time line control.. did you create it from scratch or did you use a plugin?
combiclickwise··on Tell HN: Catch.com raises 7m. Didn't get in as solo founder (S08), kept pushing
I am in a similar position. recently quit my job and I am loving the uncertainty and the possibilities.

I am happy for you

combiclickwise··on Tell HN: Catch.com raises 7m. Didn't get in as solo founder (S08), kept pushing
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing

I have one question. When you started working on Catch.com, did the knowledge that an app like Evernote or other similar ones existed bother you? What did you tell yourself when that question cropped up in your own head?

While talking to investors, how important was the question of competition and how did you handle it.

I am sorry but I talk in ignorance as I haven't used your application yet. (I don't use an Iphone)

all on app engine

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Please review my web app
Thanks for your feedback. email does work.

>>and it's not apparent to me what added value a page would have for this.

the need I imagine is for groups and serious list building. suppose you want to build a list of media people for your company so everyone can use them, this would be a way to consolidate all of them.

>>A simple process to create a page probably has potential for a bunch of applications, but I don't think improving your Twitter list is much of a burning need for anyone.

I agree. one of the other applications is books, music even. I am on my way creating an instance for each actually. Anyways, Thanks a lot for the comment.

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Please review my web app
I have updated the app to clear this confusion. Thanks again
combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Please review my web app
it wont spam... it creates a page for your friends to add their recommendations.

it just posts a link to the list page you have just created saying.. "I am looking for tweeters to follow for the topic X. please contribute" along with a link to the page.

it posts into your twitter timeline and not to anyone else directly.

if you want to word it yourself, you can post it by unchecking the option to post automatically. I guess this communication is not clear. I will work on it. Thanks for bringing this to light. Please do try it. You can even try it without logging in.

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Does iterating on a project come easy to you?
same here. I tend to struggle with the visual layout in my head. its easy to see the first version. but addition of features, especially ones that you had not thought of when starting out, makes me struggle with the layout visualization.

managing iterations, to me, is beginning to seem like a big unexplored science and art. big enough for someone to write a book about this as the central topic, I feel.

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Does iterating on a project come easy to you?
Thanks for the link. Will check it out. yes, the ide, the staging environment and versioning systems are i guess very important.

also, I find that new projects start to look very appealing because of the lack of that entry barrier and lower costs of making a mistake. Then it becomes a mental barrier to focus.

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Please review my new Facebook app CrazyBookTitles.com
:-) thats a very good idea. Thanks a lot.
combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Please review my new Facebook app CrazyBookTitles.com
no. as the premise of the app is for you to recommend books to other people. I hate signups too. I could make one for the other networks I suppose but I cant find a way to circumvent the basic recommendation premise. each of the permissions taken are for the application to use legitimately and with permission from the user at every stage. hope you give it a chance
combiclickwise··on Ask HN: How can I improve this game?
got it. I don't play checkers but perhaps I should learn it. and yes it has to scale and chess will take months at move a day. I now plan to develop it alongside instead of it being an either/or. Thank you for your suggestion
combiclickwise··on [dead]
Thanks.. I am hoping it will pick up as it nears the end. after all, somebody's got to win and it is an interesting group IQ experiment. I might be horribly wrong in all this but I HAD to test the hypothesis :-)
combiclickwise··on Any HNers in Delhi? Lets meet
Thanks.. I have posted a message to the group
combiclickwise··on Any HNers in Delhi? Lets meet
Thanks for this. Will use the mailing list here
combiclickwise··on Any HNers in Delhi? Lets meet
Wow, great.

How does the next weekend sound? to make this easier I will suggest a time and place..

please let me know if it is convenient for people to turn up..

if around 4-5 people can turn up we should just go ahead and meet I think.

here is what I suggest..

1) 4pm on Saturday at Hard Rock Cafe, Saket or

2) 4pm Sunday at Rockman's Beer Island at Gurgaon

your votes please

combiclickwise··on Please review my new application
HN, Thanks a lot for all your comments/feedback

I have worked through many of them to make the site better.

here are some

Date/time of the tweet now appears next to retweet/reply options

Tweets are color coded based on their recency.

there is a quick profile view and follow/unfollow facility

The page used to hang because of load.. now there is only a pageful of tweets loaded on startup and then it auto-loads as the user scrolls down to see more making the experience significantly smoother.

The wanted the site to be a way of finding interesting people to follow. Now you can search for them by topics/keywords by clicking on the "Find tweeters for a topic" link. For example if you type in Google, it lists all the Google tweet accounts for you and you can follow the ones that interest you easily.

Again, thanks a lot for giving me a big list of sure fire improvements to work on

combiclickwise··on [dead]
couple of questions.

1) what are the 8 sources? and what is the criteria you use to display the ads that drive people to your site. for example, for Google adwords do you use keywords? if so what are they?

2) Can you give us an idea of the kind of users you get per day? I just checked your Alexa stats and it confuses me as my own website is ranked higher but I don't make ANY money from my Google adsense :-)

combiclickwise··on Ask HN: Who launched something in December?
I launched http://www.dealzfull.com in November and http://www.readevery.com in December HNers had a ton of feedback for ReadEvery. Now I am implementing them one by one
combiclickwise··on Please review my new application
