I am in the same situation as you and I understand you better than anyone. Someone who is not in that situation doesn't understand and they will try to give you advice like make a list of tasks, use pomodoro or other technique...none of them work...email me if you found a solution...i was really thinking of going to Bali and train my discipline and brain with those monks there and have a better life.

really no one is answering to this?

check sails.js (http://sailsjs.org/)

Maybe talk with other developers and go somewhere nice and code from there something fun, build a MVP...I would suggest going to Spain or travel around Europe and code on the road :) It will be fun for you and maybe you end up with a fun project after this experience.

There is something called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamir's_Secret_Sharing that is 100% secure

from what I see 4chan is not a social network :)

Have u done some market research? Would ppl use such a system? Try maybe to get a list of 200 ppl that would use it and after that build it, maybe more devs will be interested in joining once a base customer list is set.

Maybe add your email in your profile.

"Hello! I'm a software developer working for a very large company" --> why not invest in a startup?Or in some good developers who can make a good product. I mean u know software development...why go and invest in domains that you do not know ?

why did your startup fail?

it was just a way of saying..not really a rockstart..contact me if you are good

That is just a planning board...how do you deal with everything else like time tracking and client management...or you just use other apps for each specific role

As I said in my post failure is a learning process...I think 250$ is a good value if you learn something for your next startup and avoid losing your shirt again.

Ahh...it's in October...besides that conference I think there is a lack of resources focusing on failed startups.

I would be interested in hearing more too. Shoot me an email.

Unless you want to build the next Facebook and want to have all the 1000000 features from day 1 you do not need a lot of money to build your prototype. You should stick to the lean methodology and build a MVP. You do not need fancy design build it with bootstrap or just use some templates. The idea is important, the product is important, the quality and the value of the product is important for any investor.

My advice is build your MVP and release it and see the feedback. Send emails to people in SV and show them your product, show developers your product because maybe some of them are from SV and will show your product to other people there. I am really not sure what your idea is about but do your really need a lot of money to make it happen ? If you are already working on a prototype that is great, it means that you will have something to show and if you have something to show than you can validate your idea into a product based on consumer feedback and if you can reach the validation step than you will find investment.

He has interest in developing but has no clear plan and as a client he doesn't know all the improvements that need to be made to a application every day in order to make it bigger so he will probably invest just in some small additions to the site like new features and stuff like that

My original concern was if someone would want something like this I would just make what I am using better and release it..thank you for your advice

Thank you for your answer...the thing is I want to publish just a simple 2 use free tool that maybe would help others, I am constantly thinking of small tools to develop to improve development workflow and tools that developers need so any feedback is welcomed.

Hmm...wordpress...not really inspires quality but meh...how can a developer join codeable?

Your idea is really awesome....also I think a site like this would be bring better quality to the web development or for those clients that look for quality. Really the quality on Elance is so low that someone showed me a project made with an offshore freelancer and the website has no security at all...not 1 database query is sanitized.

You should not make such an offer. Either ask a small fee for the project or either get a cool idea and make a small app and post it on github, or maybe you can start a small startup if you have a lot of time and just want to show people your coding skills. Do not make deals that have an unknown outcome for you

Yes...1st thing I looked at..but as a developer I do not really like it.

how is this a platform aimed for developers to integrate gamification elements and create gamification elements in their projects?

working on 2 things...redesign and new better features for http://whatabout.me and a collaboration and notes exchange platform for students and teachers

Here is a good resource to start with and also make you think about the design and other aspects of a good API..hope you like it http://info.apigee.com/Portals/62317/docs/web%20api.pdf

I am not in SF but looking for becoming a CTO

just random stuff regarding what I do and what projects I make and other stuff and how is everything for me in the land of freedom and freelancing

If it only covers the cost of living in SF I would suggest that you do not take that job. Also if you are working now as a Team Lead try to find another job that does not bust you down.
