Re:Ask HN: Advice with launching a multi-year "Lone Wolf" project?
on Wednesday April 03, 2013 @02:04PM (#5487814)
You've been working on this project for several years; is there a monetization system in place yet? If not, your first step should be to build one. I've found that when you can build something that generates a cash flow, it becomes a lot easier to do all those other important things. Like 10x easier.
Investors are probably going to shy away from something that's been around for several years with no money.

Interesting idea. We'll make a blog post soon about the progress we've made.
Also, if you invite 25 friends you will have access to premium features like analytics which shows you how many companies have visited your page and what search terms the companies are using to reach you.

Hi Folks,
We built Primsly after realizing a couple of problems with the way hiring works in the tech industry:
- It's difficult to find a job when you already work 9-5 (you don't have time to interview)
- The best talent doesn't get paid proportionally to how much work they output
- There are sly tactics that companies use to force you to make an uninformed decision => resulting in an unhappy workforce.
Primsly's a solution to these problems and more. Anyhow, check it out and feel free to comment on this thread or email me directly at nima at primsly dot com. Thanks!Best,
Nima R.
Co-founder at Primsly

Do you guys really only have one engineer working for you out of a team of thirty people?

Working as a software engineer at a non-tech company would be a refreshing change of pace for a lot of people in tech. Could you elaborate a bit more on what exactly an engineer would do on a daily basis and what the size of the team currently is?

Interesting post. It'd also be interesting to see how Titan compares to Twitter's FlockDB.
