Re:What tech stack to use? on Tuesday November 27, 2018 @03:57PM (#18546615)
No worries, I get it :) Nice to see it could be used to create a standalone desktop app as well !! For this specific problem, it could be a liked feature.

What tech stack to use?

I need to create an application that is essentially a CRUD one ; it will become a SaaS once it's done enough.What tech stack to use?I need to do a "working wireframe" (=> everything but not nice design, logo, colors) within ten days (during evenings and week-ends). I will then show it to potential (?) customers.It needs to work great on laptop, on mobile devices, and should be able to work...

Re:Ask HN: Am I just a wantrepreneur? on Monday October 22, 2018 @05:30PM (#18278708)
Anonymously blogging about all that seems like a great idea, thanks for the tip.

Ask HN: Am I just a wantrepreneur?

I am a wantrepreneur. For over 7 years, I have wanted to start something. Really hard, wanted. Surely, I have tried to find an audience for a twisted "Come Dine With Me" (but who would host 3 others random unknown people in their own house??), have started some websites (extractemailaddress.com, linux-commands-examples.com) in the hope to get a big enough niche audience... But all I can get is...

And thanks, again. I will spend a better week-end, knowing I am not the only one, and that it has an actual "name".
Thanks for your post, rericks. I am feeling exactly the same way... I am so anxious about that that I have doubted what else could I do in life... But we should hold tight. In 3 months, you will know much more about parts of the system, you will be an expert of some of its facets. By then, you will be an example of the phrase "Fake it 'till you make it".
Re:Ask HN: Is Telegram better than WhatsApp? on Friday May 19, 2017 @08:10AM (#14374812)
Anyone has used the new opera browser, from which one can use whatsapp ?
The point is that stopping breaks the "flow". So it'd be better to finish the task. However, by doing that, you train your brain into thinking that it's "OK to take longer to complete a task, so no need to try to do it faster/in an efficient way".
How do you deal with a pomodoro whom task isn't finish ? Do you just continue the task ? Or you just stop, and plan the end of the task for the next pomodoro ?
I love the snoozing when I do pomodoros in caffes. I always imagine people around as being puzzled : "Wtf is this guy having a cooking timer by his computer ??"
Wouldn't you love hearing timers snoozing at random times in open office areas ??
Why so many people are talking about "apps" and other websites to help doing your pomororo ? (Pomodoro's creator encourages a low-tech approach, using a mechanical timer, paper and pencil.)
Re:The $20 Starbucks Test on Monday March 20, 2017 @12:06PM (#13915280)
It is the best in that you will have the maximum amount of feedback/suggestions/critics. It helps you discuss with your potential users and helps you refine your ideas. It's one aspect people critically need at the beginning. It's one aspect people do not have with the anything that uses ads on internet (landscape+ads to see if some facets of your idea are successful, or prototype+ads).

The $20 Starbucks Test

The "$20 Starbucks Test" is the best test of a startup idea. You don't even need a prototype. You just need to get to your local coffee, walk up to strangers and talk to them about your startup idea pretending it's your brother's. Then collect feedback.Great... great ?! However good this idea might be, some might have some problem to strike up a conversion with a random stranger.How would you...

How to be paid as a startup consultant

I would like to start a business as Startup Consultancy. That would provide feedback, an external point of view, assistance and support for people in order for them to have more chance to succeed in their startup. However startups have no money to start with. So it's hard to make them pay as little as 5oo€/$500 per month for this kind of service.What are the different way to make money for this...

Last point, I live in Hamburg, Germany.

What are the best ways to get in touch with a mentor ?For anybody who's about to rush into creating their own startup, or for those who have recently startup it, it's always a good idea to benefit from tips, experience, network, inspiration, encouragement, energy from someone who has been through kind of the same thing.So how have you meet your mentor ?

"remove one* of them. ". And seeming a bit desperate shouldn't be that important. What is important is : #1 how great your site is valuable to your user : give them great content/tools/functionality #2 user experience and, and #3 monetization.
A/B test, as previously said. But you may not have enough visitors at this stage. So put the 2 buttons, and in 3 months, remove on of them. Then you will have the best solution for your very site, and you will have a slick design.

I am exactly at the same stage of you for one of my site... I'll have a clear answer for you in 2 to 4 months :)

Re:Linux Command Examples on Wednesday December 04, 2013 @04:18PM (#6850272)
Thanks for pointing out this exception. Exception shouldn't be outputted... As for nmap, it is missing from the database, and will be added. If you spot any other missing command later, feel free to use the 'give feedback' button.
Re:Linux Command Examples on Wednesday December 04, 2013 @04:16PM (#6850250)
Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to suggest other commands missing by using the 'give feeback' link on the page any time you find one. Missing commands pointed out will be added.
