I have a working mvp (Rails 2.3.8) with paying users in a large industry. I need help with developing a few requested features, like integrating streaming video, improved reporting, categories/tags.
Ultimately, I'm looking for a first hire, but I don't expect that to happen for another 6-9 months.

Looking for someone interested in coaching/teaching me to implement features on an existing production code base. I've been learning for about a year and can do most basic things, but need help with others.
Would like to meet once a week for an hour or two to review problems, discuss options/pros/cons, and then focus on implementation.

I have to believe someone has considered this before, but I couldn't find a write up on this specific angle... So here goes:A friend is interested in acquiring a potentially very valuable domain. It's a single word, common vernacular, .com, but the owner won't budge for less than x. x = a very large number.This situation seems very similar to someone owning a tract of land in or around an urban...
"The result is rather typical of modern technology, an overall dullness of appearance so depressing that it must be overlaid with a veneer of "style" to make it acceptable. And that, to anyone who is sensitive to romantic Quality, just makes it all the worse. Now it's not just depressingly dull, it's also phony. Put the two together and you get a pretty accurate basic description of modern American technology: stylized cars and stylized outboard motors and stylized typewriters and stylized clothes. Stylized refrigerators filled with stylized food in stylized kitchens in stylized homes. Plastic stylized toys for stylized children, who at Christmas and birthdays are in style with their stylish parents. You have to be awfully stylish yourself not to get sick of it once in a while. It's the style that gets you; technological ugliness syruped over with romantic phoniness in an effort to produce beauty and profit by people who, though stylish, don't know where to start because no one has ever told them there's such a thing as Quality in this world and it's real, not style. Quality isn't something you lay on top of subjects and objects like tinsel on a Christmas tree. Real Quality must be the source of the subjects and objects, the cone from which the tree must start."
A while back a spreadsheet was created where people posted their needs and abilities.I'm curious how many relationships have been formed? Are still going? Failed? Any stories to share? Lessons learned?
Tracking opens for 'cold emails' or even referral-based emails is important but can be replaced with persistence. As long as persistence is constrained with a measure of decency.
I get referrals from the businesses who join our site and use email to initiate outreach to them. I just want to know who's opening versus who's not as it affects what script we use for a follow up phone call.
For some outbound email we use Mailchimp, but a lot of first time emails also go out through Gmail. What tools do you use and what are their pros/cons?
this group collects hair donations to be used for exactly that purpose.
I remember a recent commenter suggesting there was but didn't see any follow up.
Conceptually, there is no contract between FB and its users. It's use at your own will; essentially a one-way deal and therefore cannot be a contract. That said, knowing they monetize our content, can argument be made that our content is 'consideration' and therefore a contract is implied?
