I'm a little late to this thread, but I agree with others; the 'meet' tab would be an incredible addition to HN. Perhaps it could include features like location-based topic filters or even a 'looking to meet' tag wh

That's such an inspiring story! It's amazing how serendipitous connections can lead to something amazing. I had a similar experience meeting my previous co-founder at an in-person event in Austin where I was presenting. There’s ju

The short answer is - there is no good answer. The best thing that worked for me was to just pick a popular stack that can help me achieve specific some goal. And, possibly one with wide adoption and a thriving community and ecosystem, espe

This is interesting. I’m gonna try it out this week. I wonder if you have plans to extend this to allow saving to S3 or GitHub or other types of document stores in the backend, in addition to Google Docs.

Thanks. For some reason, I'm unable to see your email in the profile (guess I need more karma or something), so I sent a LinkedIn request.

That's great. I recently started building something similar (although more rudimentary) for a community that I run in Austin. I'd love to connect and discuss more offline, if you're interested. What's a good way to reach

Kudos on the launch. The website looks good. Just curious, did you have prior financial experience?

I second this. I try to replicate the UI/UX of the applications that I like (as a user of such apps). Obviously, it doesn't mean copying mindlessly, but using similar patterns/flows where it makes sense in my applications. Ev

Mostly architecture diagrams, data flow diagrams, flow charts, sequence diagrams and ERD. Mostly they are used as an accompaniment for the brainstorming and design discussions and, in some cases, to serve as easy reference for future. We mo

We use story points in our SaaS product startup. In a larger company that I consult at, whose main business is not a software/technology product (but IT/software is a core enabler for their business), we tried story points, but ev

Stackoverflow, Github and plain old Google search. One thing I like about Stackoverflow, Github gists and issues is the discussion around the code/problem/topic. With Github, I also get a chance to see how others solved the same p

Looks like a good high-level intro for a first-time founder. It would be good to have another section on some common legal policies (privacy policy, terms of service, etc.).

I think there is value in both cases. I've seen many developers that have struggled with regex even with all those hundreds of tools to learn and to build/test regex. This could be useful to them to start with, and they can learn

I agree, I'd like to see more posts like these. While I'm impressed by the unicorn startup stories, I want to also hear from those that did/could not take that path, which is a majority of the startups. One of the most impres

It will be very interesting to see how this pans out. In my opinion, it is inevitable that a third-party App Store alternative will emerge in India in a few years, that caters to the local users and developers, better than the Google-contro

I use Google Keep, Google Docs and Trello. - Google Keep for quickly jotting down new ideas on the go (usually just a line or two so I can remember). This is my temporary record. - Then, when I have time at the end of day, I add to to my do

In addition to what others have said, one other avenue is to go to local startup/entrepreneurial/tech events and meetups in your area. I've met my co-founder at a local startup-related meetup. And I know some people that were
