Hey, We looked at some other products around sharing but it was working out at a cost of nearly a euro a share. Seemed crazy, but your right it's not idea. We'll make it better over time. We had a bit of a push to get the new mark

Hey HN, We created this guide after running through the process ourselves and thought we'd put something together to help the community. It's about 136k in total you can get. We got some tips from other startups guys and popped it

Well John my co-founder is the engineer and he came up with the new copy. We got rid of the 'No Signup', the no credit card is a strong message, once your onto the next step you'll see we don't ask for a signup. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi, idea of 'Who paid you', is for people that do work then invoice later, say you have a regular client. I've just tried to replicate that error and can't - can you drop me a mail on peter at bullethq.com. Yep we're 100% with you but it's

Thanks man. I spent 10 years working for Rabobank... Well I thought myself UI design. John who does the dev would say the same things as you. But I really think UI starts from the Dev. Example he was the one who met with the A/cant but stil

Thanks. The fee is taken for limited companies. What our thinking is. Don't spend 2k or 1,500 on an accountant to do your book keeping and fill out forms for you. If you're going to spend that kind of money spend it on a tax advisor etc. Bu

Well Gareth, we didn't have any money to spend on marketing, and we're just learning to do it ourselves. Not to mention we're in a saturated market full of big guns. The biggest thing to learn about marketing your products I think is nobody

I hear what you're saying. I use to call TechCrunch, TesticulCrunch. When I was working other startups years ago, you'd read these stories '12year old invents 'A Button', and raises 12Million', then you find out it was a pile of shit. I sup

Well we've been building for about a year. Although the front-end is pretty simple it's quite complex in the back-end. We were the customers, myself and John both ran consulting web/dev companies. A lot of the user testing we did was on my
