Great job in building this library! Can you share why should one choose Atlas over JSQMessagesViewController < https://github.com/jessesquires/JSQMessagesViewController >?

Thanks for posting this. As others said, it takes guts to do it. I don't think you necessarily need to stick with your idea, especially if you aren't passionate about it. Quitting early is better than spending a couple of years be

"Generally speaking, there are only a few ways to make money on the Internet." And the article goes on claiming that e-commerce and marketplaces, hardware, and ads are those few ways. This can't be true considering how much m

I'm not sure why you got downvoted because our experience matches yours. Just like everything, this mantra needs to be put in context. There are different stages in a startup life. It is possible that some strategies would cease to be

Same problem here. I recommend having a far higher limit on free users. Maybe you can also charge less if the growth rate of active users is less than x% per month. They won't have money to pay anyway without traction.

I find it difficult to come up with the right validation criteria. Would you share your thought process? How did you come up with specific numbers? Of a sampling set of people searching for Charades online, at least 25% will sign up t
