Congrats to Garry. hooande has said it best.

Great post and thanks for being open to what happened. I'd say it's actually a good thing that your would-be-cofounder quitted early thou. I think it'd be worse if he quitted after getting in YC OR right after getting investors' money.

I never use their service but I have been following them. It's sad to see them go as I think they have a good product.

From the comments, there seems to be a consensus on not charging enough. It'd be interesting to hear from the team why they didn't try charging more or even going thru the crowd funding route.

Nice. Mentoring on demand. What will your pricing model be?

Great post, Harj!

I went thru two breakups. This struck me the most.

You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't bring up what's on your mind. If you feel like you can't, then you should probably question whether you have the right co-founder.

Startups are stressful and not talking about founder issue early up would only make it worse and slow you down even more.

If anyone needs someone to chat about founder issues, feel free to reach me from my HN profile.

Thanks, Bubs. I felt better reading your post already. You are one of the founders I admire, especially on how you are able to balance between startups and family.

I have gone thru this state of mind.

We got A+ investors but we failed to deliver. We had founder breakups early on and I was made a single founder for the last two years. I ended up working twice as hard to make up for my founder's departure. (The stress and long hours actually made me less productive.) It almost killed my health and my relationship with the loved ones.

Don't take it personally. You have given your best shot and remember you have your own opportunity cost. It's a fair deal to the investors. The important thing is to handle the wind down professionally. Try to savage what you have (team or product). You or your investors may not get anything out of it but they sure would appreciate your effort.

Congrats guys!

I changed the interface to what I think it's more 'Ruby'. If you are looking for in-place solution, we should use the ! to indicate it's more 'dangerous' than the other solution which returns a new copy.

I'm new to Ruby so I'd love to hear feedback from other more experienced Rubyists on HN. (And I couldn't find reverse_each_with_index so I had to write my own.)

I just got my Nexus 7 and can't wait to try it out!

Looking great! I love that 'clone' icon :) Does it generate a URL which I can try on my own device?

You should check out http://delight.io

Maybe we can open up an API which your users can quickly get feedback on their prototypes.

Current version of Delight uses all public API. There are already a few apps shipped with Delight.

And we agree with you that being able to see real user interaction gives us tons of insights.

Thanks!.

That's a great idea. It is possible with starting and stopping Delight manually. (http://www.delight.io/api/Classes/Delight.html#task_Starting...) You can also use [Delight setPropertyValue:forKey:] to include custom property to the recording so you can access them thru search on our dashboard. Custom property is any key value pair.

Here is a sample recording of Delight in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWv4iOF3-3Q

We are working on the first few things you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback. We definitely need to work on our messaging on the site.

Thanks! We always resize before recording. Yes there is some performance impact but users shouldn't see any noticeable UI impact as all capturing and encoding are done on a background thread.

Not that I know of. There is http://silverbackapp.com but it does not do remote recording.

It works for me. What error message did you get? Could you try again? http://www.delight.io

Really happy for them. We can't wait for them to open source and integrate their technology to Delight (http://delight.io). It's going to take mobile usability testing to a new level.

Thanks Ben! Did you have a chance to try us out?

Do we work well for you? :)

It really depends on the application. Your users shouldn't really see any visible performance difference.

Hi Daniel, Yup. We used method swizzling. I noticed you are an iOS dev as well. Have you had a chance to integrate Delight yet? We would love to hear your thoughts and experience with us. Thomas

We have full privacy control. The developer can decide what gets recorded or not. Check out our sample project and note how we mark the password field private (including the keystrokes).

Impressive! Congrats on the launch, Denis! You may want to consider putting a "share your experience" call to action (like EXEC) if the meeting was long or how we can improve if the call was short. I was really impressed and wanted to share at the end of meeting page but didn't see anything there.

Group is very active. I think they require people to physically show up to their Startup Monday event to be added to the group. Ping me offline and I could connect you to the group organizers. Or tweet them at: http://twitter.com/startupshk

Setting up companies and working visa should be pretty easy in HK. I have never heard anyone having issue regarding that.

There has always been funding but investors don't usually add as much values as ones here do. The main reason could be these investors made their fortune from other non tech business like stock or real estate real estate. They are usually great business minded people but they may have a hard time advising tech startups.

Great Fire Wall which blocks Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Dropbox...

However, I think China Government does welcome startups in Shanghai/Beijing with more goodies and support than Hong Kong's gov.

Right on! Leon, I'm connected to the HK startup folks (founders of StartUps HK and Boot) there as well. Feel free to ping. Here is their FB group which most communication is done: https://www.facebook.com/groups/startupshk/ It's a closed group but I could add you.
