Check out your dashboard. Updated instructions on redemption...

Refresh your screen. Thoughts?

Yea, too much traffic. Also, we have some leaks from wordpress. Fixing now.... Some people buy and gift it to friends.
noahkagan··on Twilio and 99designs Join This Week's AppSumo Lean Startup Bundle
Yea, we tried to make that as clear as possible. Let me know if you have any suggestions...
noahkagan··on Twilio and 99designs Join This Week's AppSumo Lean Startup Bundle
Good point. One thing that works out well with these bundles is we get to help some lesser known companies get discovered.

One coming out shortly I'm really excited to promote is for http://healthmonth.com

Smart but unfortunately most of the codes are for new users only. Some companies like Twilio allow you to add 1 to your existing account.

Awesome feedback.

1- This is so true! If we had more money / people / time we'd personally like to make videos of each product. Will try to add more in the future. 2- Good call. Added to roadmap. Something similar to https://www.dropbox.com/votebox . For now you can submit any suggestions here: http://www.appsumo.com/opinion/

Thanks. I'm committing that change now. I'll update when it's live in a second...

Agreed. Our page sucks and needs some serious work.

We just did a push so the code should show up in the right place. Let me know if that's better.

If you or anyone has issues / questions, noah [at] appsumo or call me 415 886 SUMO

Good point. That's kind of why we started AppSumo. Providing a buffet of peoples favorite apps to try longer than 14 days and discover other cool sites they may not have heard of.

A fair amount convert to paying users after trying the services which is why we can provide the initial deal at a good price.

noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Phil if you have any questions please let me know...
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Yes, it's the full version. We tried to be super clear about what you get with each...
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Good call. We are a startup so everything is a work in progress. Appreciate the feedback.
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
I'm at lunch but will take care of you asap.
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Whoa, really? I haven't seen that bug yet. Email me and I'll try to see what's going on. noah@appsumo
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Good question. All books come in pdf format. Eric's new hardcover gets mailed for Free to your door. Worldwide.
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Glad you could be a part of it. This deal is definitely the best one we've ever done! Keep up the great monthly:)
noahkagan··on The Lean Startup Bundle
Hey, I helped put this one. And by put this one meaning I took orders from Eric like a waiter. Glad to see people like it.

There are a few time limits which are listed in the finer details section. If you have any issues or want them extended just email me, noah at appsumo

noahkagan··on Ask HN: Offer of Employment retracted
This happened to me at Google pre-ipo:( You are out of luck. In California job positions are at-will... I'd most likely go back to your old company, look for another one or just start a new company.

I know a few good Bay Area companies that are hiring if you are interested...

noahkagan··on The real GDrive is here
Whoa. A bit surprised to see this get voted up so quickly. I guess people either want an alternative to DropBox or like the Google Docs Offline Sync. Thoughts?
noahkagan··on How we Doubled our Conversion Rate in 2 Days
Here's what Paul said: " Voting anomalies on your submissions.

BTW, the site guidelines explicitly ask you not to post questions about moderation that you could instead ask in an email." ---------------------------------------

Which is weird since I didn't even know our original post made it to the homepage since I didn't submit it.

Anyways, I am just trying to post content I think people will like.

It goes out in my RSS feed and I show it to a few friends whom I think will like it. I'm finding it hard to believe that is an anomaly.

noahkagan··on How we Doubled our Conversion Rate in 2 Days
It's the same post on a non-blocked domain. The content is good and relevant. What do you think?
noahkagan··on [dead]
1- Didn't realize this would make homepage. 2- Thought it should be public that startups / articles are getting banned for unknown reasons...
noahkagan··on [dead]
I have no idea about other submissions besides the one Gabe told me he did.
noahkagan··on [dead]
I emailed pg already...
noahkagan··on [dead]
Confirmed. This is what I got back directly from CrazyEgg:

"Custom Lifetime plan with 1000 visitors/month and 1 page tracking (per month)."

noahkagan··on [dead]
CrazyEgg is lifetime, not 1 year. That's why it's worth more:)

If you have any issues with Clicky please let me know.

noahkagan··on [dead]
Yea it is. I helped coordinate the bundle. If you have any questions call me or email, 415 886 7866 / noah at appsumo dot com
noahkagan··on Reddit CoFounder Dips Back Into YC With Travel Startup Hipmunk (YC S10)
It's a bit confusing to figure out where this is better. I don't really grasp the agony part. For flying the real challenges for me are not layovers but planning the stuff out once you get there. Also, finding more local airplane companies internationally..
