Does anyone have experience with this? It would be interesting if this is finally a good solution that really works.

Nice! New levels as pull requests are highly welcome! I guess you figured out they are all just json files?

Thanks! Let me know if there's anything you think we could improve.

Thanks! I'm gonna try to add some instructions before deadline! Did you notice that you can control the camera with the mouse? Maybe that should be noted as well?

Nice game! You obviously spent more time than we did on graphics. It would be nice to hear what you guys think about our attempt: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4852549

Ask HN: How do keep track of potential and existing customers?

Posted by samuel02 on Wednesday August 29, 2012 @09:42AM
from the ask-hn dept.

When starting up a lot of the work involves dealing with all kinds of people like customer leads, people who are using a trial and real (paying) customers. How do you keep track of them all? I'm looking for something that where I can keep everything organized in groups. I looked into Highrise but it doesn't quite seem to be what I'm looking for.. Suggestions? How do you do it?

One idea might be to charge per usage rather than on a monthly basis. So let's say I'm starting a project I pay a one-time fee to use the application for a certain amount of queries, days or weeks. Like skyhook_mockups said it's not something I'd use everyday but rather a couple of times a year when I start a new project or pivot.

I looked into the Atlassian tools but they seem too overkill for me, currently the project is still quite small and I just have a couple of clients, and only collaborating with other people occasionally.. But thanks for the tip! Will definitely look into it again when the project has grown bigger.

That seems like a clean setup, but it gets complicated when you want to have some transparency, e.g. show clients that you are aware of a problem and working on it, like a ticket system..

Will they fit smaller teams and projects as well? Also, how do you handle incoming reports/requests from clients?

I'm working on a web application that is still private alpha. Right now I use Things.app for my todos, with my app as a project tagging todos 0.1, 0.2 etc. I also have a Basecamp account for communicating with some test users, receiving some bug reports/feature requests there as well as via email. Additionally I end up using Github Issues now and then for different things.What is your workflow?...

Same here! Very interesting until I realized it's subscription based. Apps should have a one time cost and maybe costs for major updates. I can't even see the reason to have a recurring fee, why?

Will Google One Pass work?

from the self-post dept.

I've had some thoughts on creating a subscription service that publishers can use to get paid for content. I had already started to sketch on an app for it when Google One Pass was released with pretty much the same idea I had. Will it work though? Or is there still room for a service like that?
