Customers know their problems - not necessarily the solutions required to solve their problems. They may have a solution in mind for their problems. It is the job of the founder is boil down problems to their core and find solutions. edit:

I think you definitely need to play around (AB test) with your pricing model. People have thrown out options already, another one to consider is one which gives the product away for free for donations under $100 (users still pay the 3.5%) i

Unfortunately, most big corporations still judge progress by scheduling and budgeting performance. Did we meet the schedule? Yes! Did we stay under budget? Yes! This is a paper victory. Nobody asks "is the product ready to ship to customers

I'm going through this myself right now and am using a multi pronged approach. 1. Trying to recruit friends who have also said they would be interested 2. Watching videos from lynda, killerphp, etc. 3. I have an idea of something I want to

One thought I have is when clicking to create a list you ask me to sign up... I haven't used your product yet and am not sure if I want to sign up yet. Is there anyway you could allow people to create the list first and thus be committed an

www.builditwith.me is a place I've seen and liked. Getting involved in open source projects is another way.

I don't think early adopters are necessarily rich. I think they set aside a portion of their income for early technology exploration in the same way some might for vacations or clothes.

As a person who hires coders I've been looking for something like this for a while. I think another helpful service you could provide would be to (for a fee) help non technical people describe the project in the way a developer would want t

I think the design is clean and simple. As soon as I saw it it just clicked and made sense... leading to the thought 'why aren't all recipes presented like this?' I would think about allowing users to "import" recipes that would turn them i

I agree with what you're saying in terms of the ads. But if I'm Google I let the social CRM players duke it out as well as play with alternative ad models - pick a winner and acquire them. Then I can do what I want with the competition.

I think this has a chance of catching on. You just have to find the right nitch to go after. Is it online dating (listen to the mixergy match.com interview - their key was gaining women's trust)? Do people want to talk face to face before g

I think we often only view the world in terms of problems. But there are different types of problems which can be further broken down. I think the quote below puts it best. "There are three kinds of pain. You can be vitamins to someone, you

Finding good VAs is more challenging than it seems. I've tried using asksunday with poor results. I asked for some market research. Can anyone recommend a good VA firm?

The issue as I see it is that not everyone has great vision when it comes to building products/services one could turn a business into. In fact most don't which is why the 10-will-you-buy test is a good way of hacking around this lack of vi

As soon as I read the header text it resonated. My eyes went from the header to the text on the left. Then on to the screen shot. But since the screen shot is kind of small - I tried clicking on it to get a better view. But there is no clic

Interestingly enough Costco (wholesale consumer goods) removed its self checkout option. Perhaps since the average transaction there is around $200 with many large sized items (30 rolls of toilet paper).

I'd like to pay an hourly rate in order to make sure it's a good match on both ends. Ultimately for us to succeed having a technical co founder is going to be critical. In order to pivot and make data driven changes speed is critical.

Thanks for the tip - I will checkout the site. In terms of getting traction - I agree. We have the usual friends and family ready to go. But the site needs to work properly first. Edit: you don't seem to have python listed as a search optio

Am also interested in seeing how this goes. If anything it looks like this is better way of finding that diamond in the rough on those sites.
