Can you do it on 3rd party apps or do you need raw access to the build files? I ask because we at MightySignal have an API to provide decrypted APK and IPA files that you could use to run Emerge on any app in the stores.

I interviewed Josh for my book, The Parallel Entreprener (on Kindle etc), and can attest that he’s done all this experimentation for the love of the game. For some of us the glory is not in the exit but rather in the building.

That Sidekiq is a one-man business which allows me to exist as a one-man business (by simplifying a critical processing function and being free) is beautifully meta. Thank you kind sir for sharing your wizardry with us mortals.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. The hardest thing about being a solo founder is the loneliness. In times of joy, in times of grief, it's just you. Sharing your successes and your failures with a group of supportive entrepreneurs as you

I'm cofounder of Scripted.com and we're probably subledger's first major integration. We did it because we didn't want to put an engineering FTE on dealing with money in our app. Timing was good so we went for it! And I&

Great point. As co-founder of Scripted, I whole-heartedly agree. I think Leah is great -- I've never met her but have heard and read good things. However it's hard to be one size fits all anymore. Craigslist and oDesk may be the l

If you want to crush it, start a winery. Otherwise get ready for the ups and downs of real startup business. This article is absolutely right. At the office, put your head down and work in reality. The only time you get to play in the "crus

In most cases, we'll take an outline from a business owner along with a style guide they produced or had produced by their agency, and choose a writer as close as possible to their industry. You can't fake insider knowledge, but you can tra

Let me take the discussion up a level. There's huge demand for great writing, that's been made clear in the comments (and we see this every day at Scripted HQ). There are millions of underemployed professionals in this country, thousands of

Price isn't shown because it depends on level of account support and job customization. We try not to run package deals for less than $500/mo.

Valid points, but what Scripted does is not much different than hiring a blogger intern. To keep the content genuine, our clients have to be engaged. We simply promote them from writer to editor. Scripted helps businesses take the time spen

Fair point. But as someone who went to 3/4 of these meetings with the author, I can say with some certainty that the 120 number is an exaggeration. Total intros was probably in the 40s, and total calls and meetings were maybe 20. We ended u

I agree 100%. The struggle is far more common in startups than most valley publications portray it to be. If you're B2B, you need customers. If you're B2C, you need users. Just put your head down and keep working.
