sensosam

Thanks for sharing this, its a great resource.

I'm in the process of making a landing page for something I've been working on right now.

It would be great to get some feedback from the HN community - you guys all have way more experience than me.

The app is called Senso, and its designed to make it easy for children to recognise and learn about emotions in themselves and others:

The page isn't quite ready yet but its hopefully not too far off. There's a known issue with black lines appearing on the sides of the video in safari.

In particular, it would be fantastic to get some ideas for giving incentives for people to share the page. We still need to clean up the section after the signup too :-/

Thanks in advance!

Both go to bed 30 mins earlier so she gets the same amount of sleep? Or alternatively, suggest that you start going for a jog/whatever together in the mornings so she has an incentive to wake up the same time as you.

Sorry that it's not the most high-tech of solutions. I could probably make an app for monitoring both of those if it helps :-S

I haven't got a cofounder (I do as much as I can myself and I outsource the rest), mainly because I haven't found the right person/people yet.

I know that by being a single founder I can't share the workload, and I don't really have people to turn to when everything breaks at once. I also know that my startup deals with extremely abstract concepts and that its been easier to 'hold it all in my head' than to have to work with the potential cofounders I had available when I started my project.

The big kicker for me is that I knew that without a cofounder I had no one to blame but myself if things went wrong. I find this hugely motivating, but I could also see it a major reason for people to fold too.

For me it was a networking issue more than anything. This is my first project and I didn't know anyone that I thought would be appropriate fit for my project. I would rather build stuff than do meetups, though I'll probably start attending more after I launch.

If I did find the right people then I wouldn't hesitate to bring them on board. I just couldn't find them and rather than wait I've done the best I can to make a successful startup. This was the right choice and things are going fairly smoothly.

I personally think that the number of cofounders for a startup to be successful is entirely dependant on the circumstances - its product, its market and its goals.

(I realize that this is an absolute copout of an answer. Sorry.)

I don't mean to sound like a smartass but it seems there is a spelling mistake in the video - it says for you condo and I think it's meant to be 'your'. It didn't make the best impression and turned me off the product almost immediately. I'm not sure but I guess it could have been a factor for other users too.

Also I would have mentioned the specific pain point condoly addresses - I sort of get what the product does but I still don't really know why I want it.

RIP condoly, I hope your next startup is a success eduardo :-)
