Re:Ask HN: You've been programming. What surprised you? on Sunday December 23, 2012 @10:17PM (#4961713)
Great code is not required to make money and does not neccessarily help increase revenue. Customers cares more about issues being addressed now than how well it is designed underneath.
The question is more of is it required. I want to see weather there are many companies that have created hard to maintain code, but were able to become successful because of just producing a product that people wanted.
Re:Show HN: Non-Anonymous Chat on IPhone on Monday July 25, 2011 @06:27PM (#2805018)
I originally showed HN my website http://chatoften.com and got some great feedback. I've moved the application to the IPhone. If any of you have an Iphone please tell me what you think of the experience.

This is an app that lets you chat with another authenticated facebook user. You'll both see each other's faces and names.

Thanks.

Hi, what issues are you having with it? I'll look into it. Can you please tell me the version of firefox you are using?
Re:Show HN:Non-Anonymous Chat on Wednesday July 06, 2011 @10:34PM (#2736921)
Thanks tomp, I was deploying a new version and I seemed to have caused an issue. It should now be fixed.

Thank you, I'll look into that.
Re:Show HN:Non-Anonymous Chat on Wednesday July 06, 2011 @09:40PM (#2736779)
I'll need to fix that. The user's is suppose to update once a session is established. I need to set that beforehand.

By the way, what browser are you using?

Re:Show HN:Non-Anonymous Chat on Wednesday July 06, 2011 @09:17PM (#2736738)
I hacked this together to see whether there is a group of people that prefer not to chat in anonymity. I tried out a few anonymous chat sites and most conversations involved male genitalia or some perverse comment. I hope people can start a better conversation when they reveal their name and picture.

Please check it out and give me your opinion.

I would suggest you read "Joel on Software". It can teach you how to better communicate with your technical founder and programmers and to understand the general technical challenges in undertaking a project.
Re:Show HN: My IPhone App that makes $25 a day on Thursday May 26, 2011 @09:22PM (#2590096)
Thank you agent86. Your feedback is appreciated. 1. The (null) is a bug and I will fix that in the next release. 2. If you don't turn off notifications, you will always be notified on the day of the birthday. The notify days before is an additional notification that you can receive. I will try to clarify this on the settings page. 3. The anniversary support sounds like a good idea. I'll try to add that to the next release.

In addition, I was thinking of adding notes to track birthday gifts to give a person. Do you think notes would be useful to you?

Thanks again for your feedback.

Re:Ask HN: Please recommend companies to buy shares on Wednesday May 25, 2011 @08:40PM (#2586175)
I would recommend companies with a low P/E ratio, low debt, and a history of earning a profit. Here are a few.

ARO,CSCO,MSFT,WDC,RSH,GES,APPL

You should then research each company and understand how they are making money and try to determine whether they will continue to make a decent profit.

I am not a professional. Take this advice at your own risk.

I would like to see an example of a successful use case. I can't seem to find any gigs.

Re:How to be 100% sure your startup idea is good on Tuesday February 08, 2011 @03:09PM (#2194586)
I put my startup on the service. One thing I have a problem with is that it exposes my personal email by default. I think you should make it private by default.
How often do you send updates to your fans?
I think facebook fan pages are useful in re-engaging users. I equate it to an email list. You can gather fans like you gather emails for your email list. When you push a message to your fans it is similar to pushing an email to your email lists. Both don't drive more users to your site unless the user chooses to share the email or the status message.
