Can you elaborate on this? My gut agrees with you 100%, but I can't puzzle it out.

You should, boats are rad. In my experience it won't be as cheap as you think - but it is still awesome!

I just want to add to the chorus of people saying they would pay for this. I too would be delighted to pay for this app. Looks AWESOME, thank you for creating it!

That is AWESOME! Nice work! If I can offer a button nitpick - I suggest "Try it out for free!" in big text, and "Version 1.5.248.1, 2016-04-26" in small text. Maybe as simple as wrapping the version info in a <small&

Certainly not with that attitude. Writing software - even hard, complex software - isn't even remotely comparable to a space program.

I agree 100%. It has gotten easier to turn a side project into a business. My take is that it has gotten easier enough that fewer folks are pursuing VC, opting to bootstrap instead. It's not that fewer side projects are happening - mo

The great thing about exercise is there is no minimum effective dose. Pushups are a great exercise, and they are more of a full-body exercise than they appear to be. They're an excellent starting point!

Nice! I see you're on Shopify - I started a fraud prevention app that's great for Shopify stores. Would you be willing to try the free trial? I'd love to hear what a fellow HNer thinks of it. Link is https://www.m

If you haven't considered it already - this might be a great product for "pay only if you succeed" pricing. Might be easier to get people to pay, say, $5k from someone who has just raised $10m than $200 from someone who almo

Bock and the author both miss the same point: the thing that helps you learn to think in a rigorous way is to study something that does not come naturally to you. I see it as the difference between learning a new skill and practicing an e

I run a product in this space ( https://www.merchantprotector.net ) and I'm quite impressed with Sift Science's pricing. No charge for the first 10k transactions/month is impressive.

Weirdly, middle-click (at least for me) does open the link in a new tab. If I were to venture a guess, it would be that that behavior was unintentional. If it wasn't, I'm also curious about the logic behind it.

It seems to be the Optimizely js, which could mean they are A/B testing something about their pricing grid. I'd really like to know the results of the test.

I disagree - it's hard to stay in business if you don't make money. The fact that someone else might offer a similar product for free has stopped, e.g. the makers of premium website themes from making huge piles of money. There&#x

I recently had occasion to write a job description for a web design job. It was surprisingly hard, and I recommend it as an exercise to anyone frustrated with the language of job postings. I wound up taking refuge in the phrase "you&#x

This is a really cool concept and looks nicely executed. Great work! Please keep us posted on progress if you can. I'm interested to know how you decided on pricing being based on # of employees in the organization. Can you expand on t

OTOH, you may have to buy the self-hosted server, which could sway the cost calculation back in favor of cloud hosting.

Congrats on the raise! Celery is an awesome product and currently the BEST option out there for taking preorders.

This is my #1 feature request for Shopify. I'm still a VERY VERY VERY happy customer, but fully realized multi-language support would be a life changing feature.

No. The employment contract is a business arrangement. Describing it in such value-laden terms does a disservice to all parties. One is employed presumably because the arrangement is mutually beneficial; if it stops being mutually beneficia

We're missing the point here: this is not a "how I made $264 billion selling my ebook" guide that we're supposed to replicate. Rather, it's a "WHOA COMPOUND INTEREST" thought experiment.
