Thanks. We are considering other models especially for non-profits who are most reluctant to pay.
Thanks. That is my concern as well. I wonder also if calling it a trial is perceived as is having doubt on our own product.

Ask HN: Strategies for not showing pricing in the early stage

Hi,We are a for-purpose startup building a marketplace to help people find local physical activity groups, clubs and trainers that match their needs. The idea is to build a resource for people, councils and local healthcare providers looking to help more people get active with plenty of free, low-cost and paid options.A lot of these groups are operated by non-profits such as ParkRun and...

How would you make money? Do members pay to join?

Show HN: Australian platform to help locals connect with others and get active

https://keepactive.com.au/

We are a for-purpose Melbourne based start-up KeepActive.com.au, that allows people to connect with locals and create or join physical activity groups (such as hiking , walking , running or sports) for free. Loneliness is a big issue in society and we are hoping by providing this free service we can help more people connect.Meetup.com is one of our competitors but they charge $24 USD per month...

My latest project a website for Australian couples to share and find wedding deals.

Please let me know what you think and any ideas on building a community.

I was thinking of maybe offering a $20 weekly prize (same concept used by australian wesbite OZbargain.com.au in early days) for the highest voted deal of the week.

Dreamhost and Bluehost seem to provide unlimited bandwith on their shared plans for around $9/mo. I was thinking of moving to them myself. But not sure if the shared hosting will meet your needs,

Can you add medals similar to wii fit, pc games and foursquare? This might add to the fun factor and help in people feeling more like they have achieved something.

So the more you use the better you do the more medals you get. Then people can show off their workout stats and medals on their blogs.

I used the sample privacy policy and terms and conditions provided by Business Link UK See: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=10...

Although, my website is in Australia so I had to customise it to meet the Australian market. See: http://www.ozshaadi.com.au/page/terms and http://www.ozshaadi.com.au/page/privacy

Thinking out loud here (and I know I will regret this) but is there really that big a market out there for email merging for a $350k funding?

EDIT: Nvm, just saw the features to track - viewed, clicked and bounced. That does give it an edge. Maybe the frontpage features should link through to the tours page (just my two cents)

Thanks great to hear from a company representative directly. Looking forward to giving this a try.

I partly agree. For example: I don't see any code revisions been maintained for the changes which for any big development firm will be annoying.

I think there is a lot of changes that can be done to make this a better solution. But as it stands if being used by a small company I can see some merits.

However, I would be cautious about putting something in a beta stage on any site with enough value.

From what I can tell looking at cssedit there is couple of differences here

1. They also provide a hosted CSS service with minimizing 2. They support scss

Is this possible (maybe a business idea here esp. for macs since they don't have virus scanners generally running) :

A phone home virus which you can drop into your dropbox and give it your sudo password. It can do funky stuff like install preyproject silently.

as much as i hate Microsoft .. it is smart thinking. Get them while they are young.
My personal view :

Having recently been through the nightmare of planning my own wedding I don't see myself using this site.

The problem I see is if someone sends a suggestion they have spent some time thinking about it and it will feel be harsh turning down their suggestion. Although it might work with very close friends.

Few twists that I think may work: A free gift registry where you can add items by scanning the barcode using your iphone/android phone. Also you could potentially use information on what other people have in their registry to give ideas to people on what they can add to their registry. Also maybe do a price search and provide suggestions on where people can buy a product and get affiliate money from purchases.

PS: I might not be your target market so don't let this demotivate you just providing my honest personal opinion.
