Are you saving the "registered" cookie? If a user is registered, but accessing the site on another browser, there would be no cookie and he/she wouldn't know how to login. What language/framework are you using?

I think it looks great, just a few thoughts (mostly on UX/UI): 1. You probably can do without the <hr> tag separating the head and the rest of the body on the landing page 2. I see a signup button, but not a login/signin for existin

Interesting quote from article: The hacker ethos is also classically male. "Being concerned with appearance, shopping for clothes and decorating your house are feminine values. Tech millionaires see that type of spending as silly and frivol

True story that happened to me: while trying to look up information for a restaurant reservation, I found some security issue that would redirect user to an obscure host name. I think it was an issue of bad DNS setup with their web hosting

I recently (3 weeks ago) quit my day job to pursue my own startup product full time. Believe me, 3 weeks with a full-time focus was about 3 to 6 months part time with a day job. It's definitely worth it! But of course, only do it if you

The sites looks good. Is the signup page (and CC processing) your own or are you using a service? It looks great--congrats!

I completely agree with @auganov. If OP hasn't looked at the map for a while, Asia definitely is HUGE :) Perhaps start with 1 country--the question would then become "How do you reach Vietnam?" or "How do you reach Japan?" Which is much mor

I think Japan is definitely ready. Big cities in China is ready. But since the social classes gap is very wide between the rich and the poor and it may come as a surprise to a lot of people, but majority of the population in countries lik

As a Vietnamese American, I've always been interested in the Vietnam market since the number of internet user's growth is astounding! The country's literacy level is very high and majority of people are either online or trying to be online

If I understand your question correctly, it's "How would one go about implementing their own analytic engine?" I have looked into this question recently and here's what I know so far (not 100% sure of course as I'm still looking into it) Ge

Ditto on the design and the mismatching of icons and messages. Those slides don't really seem to help your case here. But I'm also concerned with the language usages ("Stop hiring like an amateur!") can be a bit too forward, assuming and ja

I don't know why, but I always get a good chuckle or two from reading or watching Linus' materials.

I honestly don't know perhaps instinct. I see a need and I feel that if I set out to solve that need, people would want it. Who knows, but I need to believe that what I am doing is going to work. I will validate it soon with an MVP and w

Soon enough, my friend. I'll be back in another month. I'm going commando (the Vietcong style, not the nude style of course) for the next month hopefully. When that time comes, I would love to get your support. Once again, thank you for

I think the word "ever" denotes too much absolution. Sure, never say never (arrgh! Beiber); Obama definitely isn't a hacker in software, but he definitely hacked the ways presidential campaign are done for a long time. Now that I think ab

What kind of programming languages/stack are you more familiar with? Usually, Wordpress should really fit all your blogging needs. It's easy and has a lot of SEO tools to go with it. But as I am not at all comfortable with Wordpress' issu

I actually have this debate with myself every time I think that I am close to the point of deploying my work (heh, that's another story). But every time I do the calculation, I just don't get how AWS would be more beneficial to me vs stick

Thank you for sharing. I really appreciate your story. Reading it reminds me a lot about some of the "wild" decisions I've made along the way. I was also my family's black sheep. My story is different I suppose (briefly): I left full time

Same with me here. I switched from using CakePHP to Django and haven't touched any PHP since. I would highly recommend Django. With that being said, I think while development without a framework "might" feel more lightweight, you will pay f

@martinshen Great job on the site. Congrats. It looks very slick. Here's a few things that could probably help make it even more awesome: 1. Rich text editing capability for description--at least with <p> tag so it can be more rea

This "we only hire the best in [city name]" truly frustrates me and frankly it is such a big turn off for me. I've interviewed with a few of these, and when it comes to salary negotiation they always give the reason: "we really want you, b

Ooooh. You know what I was thinking? You have a "night" theme on your site. What if, based on the hours of the day, it will switch to "daytime" where there's the sun and green grass etc. It will make "some" people happier and that's all t

I think if it's a good idea, the space will be competitive. If you have passion for the space, give it all you got. When you do that, only good things will come out at the other end. With that being said, you still have to focus on your e
