I've had great experiences with voice-over services etc, but I'm a bit hesitant with creative work like logos (most just run through online logo creators). I do earn some[0] though creating small AngularJS directives and services,

Yup, for RSS there are ways to implement this out of the box. I was thinking more about regular people who don't know or use RSS, people that publishers would like to retain over the course of reporting a developing story. How do you t

How about this? I see a lot of breaking news websites (or blogs that post a story whose details they "update as details come in" have no way (ok, maybe I just haven't come across it) of retaining their readers - a way to sub

I don't know if this qualifies, but the 3D industry which I was pretty involved with for a time comes really close. It is just as "closed", in that they are as sure as developers are that what they are doing is something so a

Zimbabwean. Bootstrapping couple tech startups (some profitable) here in Africa for way over a year now. Most (good) devs I know are self-taught. Employment opportunities pushing code are so scarce it's hopeless for most which is why m

That won't make too many people happy, especially considering they're targeting a market that may have never heard of Stripe or aren't technical enough to pick the Stripe fee inclusion. This doesn't strike much confidenc

Thanks for this. You went pretty much against the norm. So on twitter you just sent tweets out about your solution and nothing more?

Focus is key definitely, but isn't there elbow room a bit if you build (usually) SaaS products where it addresses some nichey problem so much there isn't much to be done feature-wise save for a few ad campaigns? Great job you&#x27

Wow, five. Yeah it's a strain juggling client work and a startup, I decided a few months ago to die of kwashiorkor if that was what it would take for my startup to show me some (revenue) respect - because juggling that with client work

Interesting. I guess like patio11 said it's key to build up one then automate as much as possible and then move to the next. Thanks for the answer

Just go with WordPress then, you've been hinting at it yourself. Given the amount if plugins and themes out there you should be able to find one for each your needs.

Yes it must. So that you can point and remind the customer of their legal defeat. I think @inaccessible suggested a subtle way of doing it

Not master a new language, just dabble in an added few. Kill off an hour of bore learning some NodeJS or AngularJS, what's there to lose? If there's nothing to actually be gained. I do this from time to time and the knowledge I pi

Talking serious startups (not odd weekend hacks) I started 3. The first had traction but no revenue (because of market challenges). So I pulled the plug on it and launched #2 to solve that challenge. #2 grew and is I do it full time now, al

Sounds like a plan. Well best of luck with Flickseeker, Fitloop & Wanderdash :)

Do you live off of them full time? Great gem there. I've noticed the same but hadn't had it stuck in my mind that the building stage is the most involving but after that (for most products) there is usually little to do.

Thanks for that. I have about 3 running. 1 for over a year with growing revenue and big customers (relative to small me), another enterprise one which is going extremely well for a 2 month old startup revenue-wise and last one is 6 months i

The opportunities definitely are there, and so are the challenges which go beyond the usual PMF jazz. That being said once you figure the environment out you really can make headway. If it worked for me then it'll definitely work for y
