Yes, your words are quite encouraging. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

I am not a people person and never been to that line (marketing, hiring) so it feels a bit different and new altogether. At some point, this has to be done, so why not now.

Thanks. I didn't think of this before. It certainly looks like the way to go.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, we are not making any money right now and have nothing to lose.

We surely want to give it a try with the right person. The main point that we are still not sure about is what kind of questions we should ask him to make sure that he is a good fit for this. If this was a developer position, I would know how to evaluate him, but I have no idea about what it takes to be a good marketer. I guess we will need to let him try and then see how it goes.

Ask HN: Need help deciding on a new marketing person for 2 person startup

I am 24. During my studies, I launched a web app (4 moths ago) as a side project with my friend. Initially the response was ok, there were a about 300 signups. Then, the signups stopped and it hasn't picked up since then. We stopped working on it a couple of months ago.Recently, I was contacted by a product/marketing person interested in the project who wants to help us with it. I have no idea...

I agree with your comments that detailed posts covering just one library and discussing about the specifics of why/why not the library is a good choice are much more interesting. But I think that lists of these kinds are useful as well, specially for someone who is just beginning their development as this lists some of the libraries that I think are useful for all kinds of applications. I have seen people writing code to perform things that are already accomplished by these libraries and maybe if they knew something like this exists, they wouldn't have to waste few good days on reprogramming the wheel. P.S. I am the author of the post so I might be a bit biased on this.

It's great initiative. For Europe, we also have similar thing but unfortunately it is not active. Maybe admin can update the UI for HN Europe.

Ask HN:Is it okay to post the link of your new product on most visited blog post

I am soon releasing a web app. I also write blog on my personal website. Is it okay to post the link/url of your new product on your most visited blog.In my case, one of my blog on mobile development is visited around 250-300 times a day but my new product is not mobile related. Would it be okay if I post at the bottom my product page link.FYI I know it will be okay to post it on the homepage...
