We had around 2000 users, but we were still rejected by YC.

I wish they would give some kind of note on why people are rejected. This would help budding entrepreneurs a lot more

I launched early with a paid copy of our product, and people complained about it a lot. This was good since I knew what to improve.

The best way to make people care about a product is get them to pay some money for it first.

I also launched a free version of our product after. While this one has a lot more users and is growing exponentially, the feedback is far sparser. People care for things they pay for and that attention is great for shaping the beginning of your startup.

Submitted our app. Hope they look at our demo more than our video, lol. We're not telegenic people.

Total agreement, everyone knows the best places are:

1. Bay area 2. New York City

These roundups are getting too much.

Some of them can just easily be found by doing a simple search on github.

Maybe I should just do some articles like "Top 5 javascript mvc frameworks", "3 asynchronous libraries you can't live without"

Some advice: When I'm sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.

The fact that you are making money is already great, a lot of people are struggling to get by in their companies.

Don't make a decision that you will later regret.

Node is arguable. You can use express.

Tornado is definitely a web framework.

Why is tornado and node not on this, it would crush the competition.

It does not now. Sencha updated their commercial license to be free.

This article was a fail in that it failed to mention sencha touch which is the no brainer choice in this space.

Jquery mobile comes second after this.

Does this sync data over icloud or some other cloud? Would this integrate with my iphone or ical?

If it's only a mobile tool. It becomes very limited.

It's difficult to build a great interface but even harder to build a great product.

looks like the people in the other thread were able to build it from radio shack parts. Can't imagine this being very expensive.

This is awesome

thanks a lot, I can finally get off Appcelerator!

My god, there are so many bugs, if this allows me to get off it I will sing praises to the heavens at the moment of my emancipation.

LocalStorage seems broken on the mac which makes it a bad platform to develop webkit apps in. (It does not persist across program runs)

In fact, if either websql or localstorage worked in cocoa webkit it would be great.

"Exploit employees" suggests that by profiting from other's time that you paid for is wrong. You are forgetting that the business owner also takes on risk with his investment in employees while employees has a steady income with no risk.

To the partnership answer, a lot of people don't want to take risks in general. This is true even in the US where people are way more entrepreneurial than other countries.

I think concentrating on any methodology and thinking success will come is irrational.

In the end, it comes down to blood sweat and actual work put into something.

Jesus, they don't even build houses that big in a lot of neighborhoods.

I am currently using titanium, can you tell me why you chose chromeless?

This man has lived.
