from the ask-hn dept.

For the past ~12 years I've being an entrepreneur and had about 5 projects.I didn't actually found my 2nd, but was invited to be a founding partner and, after 4.5 years, I sold my shares for a good amount, that allowed me to keep going for 3 years with the bare minimum to pay my bills. And, after selling my shares, I founded other 2 projects that failed and 1 that is my current.After the 4th...

We have already met with the one guy who's responsible for most of Dropbox's API and developer relationship. He guaranteed we can use the service and they don't have any plans to block this kind of service in the near future. Of course they could just go ahead and block it despite what he said, but oh well... I use Gmail and I'm not freaking about Google discontinuing it. Thanks for everything you said. It's always good to have that in mind.

Thanks, Daniel. (sorry for the delay, my phone was stolen and I have no internet at the place I's at). Well, the Dropbox idea is quite cool actually, it has a lot of "sexy" in it. We can do a lot with it, and that's what's making it dificult to choose. We have decided to drop the analytics idea and focus on the Dropbox one. Hope this was the right decision.

Thanks, Dylan, will get in touch in a few. :) How would we keep both ideas? Isn't it better to focus on one? This way we can deliver a better product.

We just got the news we were approved to join Startup Chile's 10th round. But there's something bothering us and we want to hear what you guys think. When we filled the application form, we had one idea. Now, a few months later, we are being accelerated in Startup Farm, a 5-week Brazilian acceleration program, with another idea (yet the same name - Yoozon). The idea approved to join Startup...

Thanks for the feedback, we sure need a FAQ page and a more detailed description on how Yoozon works. Will create them ASAP. As per your questions, we will support PHP files on the beta version, but Python and Ruby are on our roadmap.

Help a fellow entrepreneur on a Seattle/San Fran trip

Posted by jdrummond on Sunday November 17, 2013 @03:18PM
from the self-post dept.

Hi there. I'm on a US-trip, starting from Miami/Orlando for 6 days, then to Seattle (Startup Weekend condo) for 4 days and finally to San Fran, for 9 days. I came with my two associates (from yoozon.com) to improve our network, meet other entrepreneurs and anyone passionate about startups and get to know how the startup scenario work in the US. Florida was the only place during our trip to...

This is just GREAT! Made a tiny integrated app in under 5 min (including reading the docs). 100 times easier than using one of those odd-looking PDF classes (php dev here).

Start billing me, I want to retribute your effort. Thanks for this! :)

Re:Show HN: I Designed this HN Mac App – Should I develop it? on Friday February 15, 2013 @08:48PM (#5229944)
Ok, so I upvoted it. I like the idea.

But, my Mac is retired for a long time now and, if you really make a Mac app, I won't be able to use it.

You should consider... ummm... air? This way we can all enjoy your app.
