We'll be adding the ability to change when the email is sent, and it should be out by next week. Clever workaround though! And thanks for the design compliment! We did it all in-house, so we really appreciate the kind words.

Thank you! We don't have export yet, but we've definitely wanted to share some of our entries with close friends and family too. We'll be brainstorming around this! Regarding past history: For your first week, we just send you your entry fr

Hey HN - we made this in our spare time, just because it was something we wanted to use. When we told some friends about the idea though they wanted to use it too, so we decided to release it. Many thanks for checking it out.

On the top right of your meeting page are Print and PDF links. When you click the Print link you can customize the output, so you can choose to print the agenda or the minutes, or both. Also, on the bottom of the page is a link to add actio

We might some day shift to a tiered strategy with different features/prices, but existing users won't be affected.

We want someone to see this and start using it without worrying about the cost. Before launching we met with managers to understand what prices they're able to expense without needing additional approval. We learned that this wildly varied

Tweaking the wording of your links is time well spent. Imagine if the same testing methodology was applied to the Sign Up button on a B2B app. You could drastically increase conversions with just a few small modifications!

With technical matters it seems good to be relentless and focus on your needs. As you mentioned, the goal is to simplify code so that it's maintainable and satisfies you . With social matters you usually need to be relentless and focus o

Even if the grading system is arbitrary, it's usually fully transparent and disclosed ahead of time. I knew that the cutoff for an A was 90%, and I also knew that the grade would be calculated based on my projects and exams. I knew the exac

"Making the tenth of a percent from 89.4 to 89.5 worth immensely more than the 9.4 percent from 80 to 89.4 is idiotic." I got an 89.4% in a CS class and asked the professor, whose office hours I frequented, if he could bump me up to an A si

Completely agree that the team is very important in getting funded, but so are connections. Yammer is Founders Fund backed. 3 of the 4 partners from the Founders Fund are PayPal cofounders (Peter Thiel is the big name, but there's also Ken

iStockPhoto is amazing for large, professional icons. You can buy sets of icons (usually around 12 icons/set) for about $1 per icon. It's better than the alternative of having to shell out $100+ for a large icon set, when you really only ne
