  1. Ask HN: In 2023, what’s the easiest way to build an (iOS, Android) app?

    I have a simple app idea in mind (2-3 screens, daily use app, simple storage, eventually in-app purchased for “extras”). Trouble is I haven’t coded formally in 15 years and attempted to learn objective C and Swift a few…

  5. What's the difference between a startup and a small business?

    What makes a startup a startup? Does it have to be technology-related? If I start a small business selling widgets or a service, are the same elements not involved: some capital injection (from savings or family loans),…

  7. Ask HN: Where to get (deeper) advice, feedback on my startup?

    I posted a "Review my startup" post a few days back and got some good but limited feedback (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2763833). I really want to improve my service offering and truly feel I'm on to something…

  8. Ask HN: Review my startup - GiftBait.com

    http://www.giftbait.com I have built GiftBait to help party planners / hosts get gift suggestions from their friends. This is akin to a traditional gift registry but instead of the host specifying what they WANT,…

  9. Ask HN: Ideas to promote gift registry service (complementary to evite)

    My startup helps people get gift ideas for their party (wedding, housewarming, etc.) from their friends that they can vote on. All identities remain a secret and it's a fun way to get guests involved in the event. I…

  10. Ask HN: In two months from bootstrapped to launch, what now?

    Moderators: I posted this under a throwaway account earlier but it got closed because I guess that's frowned upon. Posting again as I genuinely need advice on next steps. I bootstrapped GiftBait.com over the last two…

    I plan on adding a few simple pricing plans to my consumer-focused site. Only two options will be available - a pay-as-you-go plan for 99 cents or unlimited, lifetime access for $4.99. The feature-set and functionality…

  12. Ask HN: Resources for CSS templates for DDD (Deverloper with Design Deficiency)

    Title pretty much says it all, and given my web app is boot-strapped, free resources would be great. Googling for "free css templates" comes up with a lot of junk and I'm wondering what resources other developers have…

  13. Ask HN: How do B2C "free-tilities" like evite make money?

    I'm building a B2C utility which addresses a frequent consumer pain point, should be fun to use, but at the end of the day is just that...a fun utility but not something you would pay a monthly / one time fee to use.…

  14. What platform to use to build a how-to site with user content and moderation?

    I have a CS education but consider myself a self-taught programmer (whoever said CS <i>taught</i> you programming!). I have a (novel :) idea for a how-to guide for a niche area that I feel has been…

  15. How/where to begin learning mobile (app) development?

    By way of background, I have an undergrad in CS and worked as a C++/Java programmer 10 years ago. I also have some experience with web development (LAMP). I'd like to get into mobile development (apps) for iOS, Android,…
