The response wasn't too bad. I didn't get a whole bunch though. I didn't try to spam em either. Here is the post:

I see the error, bad link on my part :)

Yeah! I had to choose to wait on Heroku or get the post out I chose to get the post out. I will take a look at the logs and see what happened. Thanks for trying it out though!

I also plan to do some more in person visits around my area (Columbus, Ohio) to give a demo on it. Not sure on how that will work but it is worth a shot.

I at least plan to try out one of those $100 free Google Adwords setups to dip my toe into marketing. I am not an Adwords pro.

Good luck on this man. You will find that it is far riskier staying at your day job. The reason I say that is because you will always have one foot in. A safety net. You will not have the same motivation to make things happen.

Having no safety net makes you well aware of all the opportunities that arise. Having that fail safe makes it so you have a built in excuse, "there is no rush to get this done I am already paying the bills from the day job.".

Just a reminder surround yourself with people who will uplift you and that are liked minded, not the ones that say "isn't that pretty risky" or "are you sure you want to do that? You have a baby on the way".

Excellent! I know I have caught myself thinking about this way too much. It often stops the flow of getting good ideas out the door. I have rewrote projects 2 or 3 times because I have learned something new and just had to apply it because that was the most effective way to do it.

You went around parading on a few posts on HN with this.

I think it is a decent idea or, if you have other skills outside of programming you could do consulting and get ideas from there.

I am a developer but ran my own computer repair shop for a while and seen a problem that I could solve which lead to my idea for a web app/software as a service.

Very cool Kevin! I just checked out the site. I think with sites like qstartupapp.com (I am biased I helped work on it :)) and companies Founders Network, people with ideas can get through the feedback loop even faster. As I am sure all of us have learned this journey can be discouraging at times and having some help does work wonders.

As far as the customization aspect I think that is two different markets. A person like me doesn't necessarily want to customize all the way down to which kernel the device is running. I like how stupid simple it is, open up app store, buy app, use app, get off.

Which neither scenario is wrong its just two different markets and both companies know that, IMO.

I think that is a good idea. I did a switch not to long ago that was kinda hacky to get it to work. I went from iPhone to android then back to iPhone. I def. lost some data in the process and this was at least 1.5 years ago so we didn't have some of the things we have now to make it as easy to transfer contacts or other data.

When you say other data, what kind of data we talkin?

So this would pair startups to help each other? For instance if I need designers I would use this service to find a startup that provides this service?
