Though I'd read a pretty good write up of their AdWords tactics recently and learned a fair bit: https://marketingexamples.com/seo/step-by-step-keyword-resea...

Hey Vivek. It looks awesome. I'll definitely get one of the team to check this for integration on our site. Totally Free!

Hey HN. Co-Founder here. We'd love to get your thoughts on our Code Store. We're positioning this as something that Devs / App Entrepreneurs can use as a starting point for their next project. Something to help jumpstart their App launch. We've got another 4 apps set to go live in the next few weeks. A Fitness app, Instagram style photos app, Weather app, e-Commerce app etc.

We'd also love to know your thoughts on what you think we should build next. Be sure to use the code LAUNCH50 to get 50% off any of the code bases.

Oh wow! Thanks...I've been using HN for years and never realised this was possible!

I agree with the above comment. I think you should allow your users to submit their startup via email or a form on the site. Quite a few people including myself would be reluctant to provide twitter access with the permissions above. Another small note, there's a typo on the submit page above the button "Read to show your..." I think you meant *Ready ?

Good luck with it all.

Really well edited video. Shenzen seems like a crazy awesome place. One thing I noticed was how he would never haggle on the price. He would always accept straight up say yep ok. Either the prices were really good...or being an American he's not so used to the idea of having to haggle the price (or maybe he felt order size was too small to warrant a haggle). However when in Asia always and negotiate, otherwise you're just increasing the prices for the rest of the expats :)

I really like the concept. Great work! The auto refresh is slightly annoying for me personally but I could live with it :)

We were 'Hunted' for our App (Hucnhapp) on PH this weekend. We were also hunted a few months ago for our iOS Framework (Redbeard). Both times it was by an influencer that was able to get it featured onto the homepage. Even though we were featured on a weekend both times it still led to thousands of visitors to our site (Approximately 7K in the case of Redbeard). Apparently weekdays leads to an order of magnitude greater. It really can be a great way to seed early traction. Getting featured can also mean you're picked up by various other blogs and publications as it does lend some credibility with the tech blogs. If you're looking to reach out to some influencers here's a great site that ranks them: https://www.yvoschaap.com/producthunt/

It's difficult to see the logic that some of these guys have with their "investment" cons. I really wonder the psychology of someone who'd go through a fake investment proposal like this. Do they just want to feel important? I recall a similar incident with someone on HN that I have saved from a few years back: http://www.shaf.co/post/75399291209/the-fake-vc-eccentric-ge...

The source code is not available as it's a compiled framework however our plan is to soon launch a Marketplace of high quality end to end apps (think clones of Twitter/Instagram/Tinder etc) to give developers a boost when starting their projects. It's also a great way for new developers to learn iOS development.

Hi rgbrenner. Co-founder of Redbeard here. I really appreciate and definitely agree with this comment. I have a great post saved from a few years ago by Alex of GrooveHQ which also mentions the same sentiment: http://onstartups.com/tabid/3339/bid/96361/Getting-Crunched-...

Nice collection. These kind of posts where founders are so open with their numbers are always an inspiration. I particularly like the guys from GrooveHQ and their blog on the journey to $100k per month (Now updated to $500k as they've exceeded the 100k target).

However sometimes these posts tend to post a very rosy tint when things have been far more difficult. I remember watching a really awesome video of Scott Farquhar of Atlassian where he said something along the lines of "Our overnight success only took 8 years". His point being that most people only see the last year or so of media limelight and take that to be your "starting point" when in fact you've been hustling for years to get to that point :)

Hey maxpert. One of the Co-founders here. I'll let others comment on how they found using the framework however we've been using it internally for client projects at our services company for a few years (http://www.roundedlabs.com/#work) We're also in the process of creating a set of complete end to end apps for which we'll be releasing the source code to. An example would be something like: https://appsto.re/gb/ZiUPdb.i Feel free to drop me an email ansar [at] redbeard.io if you need help with anything. Ansar

Thanks munirusman2. It's totally free. Always will be :)

Thanks for the detailed feedback joeld42. Much appreciated. Of course we do feel our Framework is compelling but it's just about getting that across to other devs in a clear manner in our marketing. We've found that whenever we've started a new project and we've needed a particular a set of components, it's been a pain trying to find the correct one to use, ones that have been kept upto date and then also ensuring they all work seamlessly together. Developers will of course have their own coding styles etc and trying to make each one work nicely in our projects is never easy. That's why we've tried to make everything in our framework absolutely consistent. Everything has the same coding style, is fully themable etc

It's a good point on cocoapods. It's something we'll definitely look in to thanks. We'd created the template as a way for newbie devs to have less hassle when trying to get a project started with our framework. I think another point we need to try and get across better on our site is how existing apps can use our framework.

On licensing, yep it'll just be a downloadable file that developers will need to just drop into their project somewhere. That will allow them to build the app to a device rather than just the simulator.

Thanks for the response munirusman. We are also thinking Option 2 but were a little concerned if developers would find the tiered model a little confusing. We didn't want this to become a barrier to them signing up. But I suppose it all depends on how well we explain the pricing to end users.
