Hey HN, As it's the last day for YC applications I thought I would launch Office Hours Cards. It's a card deck to help you prepare for an accelerator interview or startup pitch. It's a side project I've wanted to launch…

I've been working on my first physical product recently and wanted to get some feedback at this early stage. It's a card deck of questions that you can use as a way of practicing for an elevator pitch, accelerator…

A lot of the auction sites out there don't have great listings or are selling highly profitable businesses. I'd be interested to hear about any smaller projects, sites or apps that you are no longer actively…

Hey HN, After finishing my degree in Comp Sci I trained in technical recruitment. I thought it would be interesting to get paid to understand the industry and learn about the roles that were actually out there, market…

Hey HN, I created my first digital download, a printable dual timeline calendar for 2014. In an effort to create more products this year I'm sharing this in some of my favourite web places in the hope I'll get valuable…

I'm using Gumroad to sell my first digital download product - a minimal dual timeline printable calendar. There are lots of blogs out there that curate physical products, are there any for just digital products? Should…

Tues 1st October - London - Nathan Barry & Brennan Dunn. "Building a profitable audience" Workshop - all day event. As much as I would love to attend this workshop, it's looking less & less likely that I'll be able to…

In my spare time I write naming reports/analysis and help people find decent .com domains for their side projects within a small budget. I would like to expand this and see if there is a bigger market for memorable…

Do you know of any companies that have a bias towards a distributed team? Not only for developers but the whole team including support. I'm really keen to carry on my work as an Applications Support Engineer but ideally…

TL;DR - Had overwhelmingly positive feedback on an idea, not sure how to take it to the next step! Hey HN, I usually build small projects that tick along nicely. The feedback I usually get is that they're useful, neat…

Hi HN, TL; DR - Can anyone suggest any startups that are hiring for apps support roles? Or even not openly hiring but are growing so fast they might be receptive. I'm genuinely looking for a problem solving,…

TL:DR I've too many projects - how do you stick to one? I'm currently at a point where if I could launch a product and it made a modest profit (a few thousand) it would be life changing for me. It's a feeling of so…

TL;DR - Is there are market for sharing skills e.g on a 1 day or half day basis. Shorter than an ODesk or Elance project, somewhere between a paid tutor, mentor or pair programming platform? Like a mini startup weekend…

I started foundcamera.com as a basic weekend project a little while back. I hoped to help a few people out and potentially facilitate some great success stories. I thought it improved upon what's out there already as…

Hey all, For those that sell digital products, I'd be interested to hear how you auto-deliver to customers after payment. I've heard of a few services like PayLoadz and e-junkie, also I've seen people just auto e-mail a…

I'm interested to find out if anyone has any specific ways they pick their next project to work on. I've got a handful of ideas and I tend to do a bit, get disheartened when I hit a roadblock, move on to a different…

I'll be attending my first startup weekend in London this Fri. I'm going on a non-technical ticket despite my tech background, I don't feel I'm proficient enough to be slinging code under pressure just yet as much as I…

Hey, I've been meaning to throw this open to you all for a while now. I'm looking to start a side business to make a little extra income or even just to help someone out with their existing business. Usually I just run…

YC recognises that good teams can get started with just enough funding to work uninterrupted for several months on their idea. Building features and talking to users - full time. Being as though YC's model is held in…

If you've been rejected from YC and you still plan to carry on with your startup, I'd like to hear from you! I think it'd be awesome to track the progress of all the other great teams that YC missed out on. There are a…

Most of the ideas I've worked on have been web sites or applications, it's a lifecycle I know well. Yet I keep coming back to a product idea, an electronics device that I really want to develop. I'm unfamiliar with how…

Following on from the post yesterday "Always a starter, never a finisher" - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3753680 I looked at my projects more closely. While some projects got left because of lack of cash or…

Hey folks, I'd be interested to hear which shop-builder platforms that you've tried like Shopify, BigCartel, Goodsie etc. I'm interested in experiences good and bad. Anyone look at the options and choose to build their…
