You're looking at it way too absolutely. The author's point wasn't to say you need to spend every waking minute creating and all other time is wasted. They/we should consider the ratio of time spent creating(and doing

The site design alone really is a superb lesson in simple effective good-looking usability. As someone else pointed out: one click ordering, brilliantly-worded concise text, good design, immediately understandable purpose and call to actio

+1, Excellent post. You should have a blog or something... I've noticed this too when examining what I view to be problem spaces. Often there is truly room for technical innovation alone - a better way to do something - but it is only whe

If you're just looking to prove out a concept and see if there could be any interest/traction for it, I would feel comfortable going ahead and scraping (but be smart about it). To me that means: know your target (big corporate sites vs Jim

wordoids.com appears to be a parked seo page. Don't go there.

Google has a ton of decent into, search for "oracle vs mysql". Both have their respected places, but Oracle is in general "more". More complicated, more difficult to install and configure, more flexible, more powerful, more money. If you

This is one of those questions where people tend to reply with semi-snarky advice like "as much as you can get" or "it's relative". And they are right in a sense. Still, based only on my own past experience (assuming your review is a posit

I think you could have one sort of flowchart at the top of the graphic, using arrows to indicate how my servers and devices can be pushing out calls to your service etc. I don't know the ins/outs of what you're doing, but think: my server -

Very strong idea, and it is apparent that a lot of thought and work has went into this already. Functionally, the reports and questions etc seem great! In general, it feels a little bit overwhelming at first (a lot of info on each page,

http://watchdogdaemon.com Looks like a good MVP/start. It wasn't immediately clear what the service does, but it was pretty close. (I'm saying this is a good thing, but could be made great.) I may be picking nits, but I think the word "

The tradeoff is control vs speed/efficiency. Generally, I agree with you (and prefer to just rely on my own function library), but for the most part this is for somewhat dogmatic reasons like "you know every character of code..." etc. Whi

I understand why you may have framed your question the way you did, but isn't getting a domain before knowing what kind of business you're going to create a little backwards? If you're going to attempt to compete in the payment space, you'

If I were you I would never use the description above ever again and just stick with "tymr is a social network where you can find, create, share and promote any type of events".

This is a very fragile (but interesting!) idea. I would focus hard on finding ways to line up a steady stream of interesting (hopefully viral) content... the fragility of the concept all hinges on that. You may literally want to create so

I'd argue that in an ideal world even 30 seconds is too generous. This is why the tagline is so prevalent: summarize what you're doing in as few words as possible. Less than 10 is okay, less than 5 is ideal.

Neat idea. One potential issue I can see is someone wanting to read either more, or less, per day. In the case of more... I'm thinking "what if I get to a good part and want to read more today?" and in the case of less I'm thinking "great

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592532616/ This is a general design book, but one that is packed full of information and examples that you might find helpful. It's not a how-to book, but if you feel like you can recognize "good/great"

For what you're looking to do, once a day is plenty often enough. (How much does karma change in a day and does it matter if your site is a few points behind?) If it were me, I'd cache the results of an api call to HN with a last-retrieved

Excellent redesign! You really incorporated the feedback well and I definitely found this much more intuitive. Pretty great UI. Personally, I'd consider moving the text about the free option (that comes up when you click see plans/pricing

Awesome reply, thank you - honestly, I was looking for validation of my own similar thoughts on the subject. I have previously written about this subject here (very similar to your response): http://www.komlenic.com/242

Wow, I would think there is some serious potential here. Awesome idea - very well thought out. Monetization without ads might be done (at least in part) via a paid smartphone app? You could offer the full site experience for free, and ad-

The implication in my comment is that you do want to do the thing (or that there is some expectation, either personal or external, that you have to do it ex: studying for a course that you need to graduate). Wanting to do something, or re
