I use JS validation library + Mailcheck.js on the front end. The regex checks for format and mailcheck validates second and top level domains. Coupled with a verification mail this is good enough for me.

Re:Ask HN: Courses on non-tech startup/bootstrap aspects? on Wednesday January 11, 2017 @04:17PM (#13377550)

There are a lot less business-focussed resources for sure. You can check this free business course on Udemy that seems decent (I have not taken it myself) https://www.udemy.com/basics-of-starting-an-online-business/

There are a lot of resources for marketing, but you have to look for the ones that are relative to what you want to achieve.

I have the Lenovo Y Gaming Armored Backpack B8270. Why? It fits any laptop and has a properly padded separation just for my laptop. Water resistant, which is a big plus in London. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/GX40L16533/460/D97E...

Start making money before worrying about taxes.

If you are planning to bootstrap the company then incorporate wherever you want. On the other hand, investors would be a lot more comfortable investing in a US company and clients prefer to deal with other US companies.
