richkidsoftwtr

Fair enough. In all honesty, there are an infinite number of purchases displayed on the richkidsofinstagram website that I cannot understand or ever justify but it caters to a crowd that thinks and operates far differently than you or I - and those are the ones we are targeting. Hence the somewhat "arrogant" language in the info page.

Thanks for the "luck".

We're well aware of the fact that this is rather ridiculous. That is part of what captivates people about the service when we tell them about it. As for the premise of the service, it's somewhat different from what you have in mind. Clicking the "i" at the top right explains what the service really is.

In any case, I didn't want to get into the details before but we were actually unable to post the link to HN using this account as a "new" submission so we had given up on posting to HN. Trust me, I, like you hate when people plug their service on someone else's post. Having said that, when we were reading HN today and saw this headline, we couldn't resist.

I have no choice but to respond to the down-votes. I promised myself I wouldn't at -1 but at -3 I have no choice. This is not a complaint of any sort but I would like to say the following:

We have been active HN readers/contributors for over 3 years. The "richkidsoftwtr" HN handle is one we created simply for this service and not for our personal use.

Having said that, one thing this community appreciates is a good story about a hard working group of guys using innovative ways to solve not only the problems that their customers face but also their internal problems (i.e. how are we going to survive until the next payment is received, etc...).

If you were to honestly take time to read the "about" link (https://www.richkidsoftwtr.com/about) you would see that we're an honest group of guys trying to do something unique to solve our own cash shortage. We're not just being opportunistic douches but rather capitalizing on this opportunity given the Exec team referred to "Making It Rain" in their post.

After all, having been in this rat-race for a few years, we appreciate just as much as the next person the amount of daily grunt work required to make it. This is just part of our effort. Kudos to all the other rats who appreciate our effort.

We're a startup too and you can see the story behind this service here https://www.richkidsoftwtr.com/about

Having said that, congrats to exec. Definitely not our intention to take away any spotlight from them by posting that here. We just found it fitting. We'll gladly take down this link if the OP asks.

PG made it rain? I just checked https://www.richkidsoftwtr.com/ and clearly he hasn't yet. Noone has.

I find every "entrepreneur" has a tipping point at which point his/her mind and body decide that it's time to take the leap. It's kind of like falling in love - you can't really explain the feeling but it's just there.

Having said that, in my humble opinion, the answer to "how do I break out of the comfortable life?" is: you just do it. Not quite sure how else to say it. If you believe in yourself, and you believe in what you're going to build/start/operate then trust me, your mind and body will scheme up a way to make sure you do it somehow.

Hang in there. If it's meant to be it will. Good luck man.

Here's my problem, the three items that will "attract" users are not actually "attractive". They are actually just ways that Google forces users to have a G+ login to interact with one of their services. They may lead to more people using G+ but ONLY as a login service - nothing more.
