    Creating a fitness community- GYMBUDDY Idea

    IDEA 
    How will you get users? Sounds like you're trying to beat the McDonalds and Burger Kings who already dominate this space by coming up with a better burger. Most of the people who sign up for this will be dudes. So you're going to match up dudes with other dudes so they can keep each other...

    App Game Dev Advice From Crossy Road Dev

    EXECUTION 
    If you're willing to bend the rules a bit, app validation is not that hard...make up some screenshots, post them on google play (less restrictive than the app store) and see what happens. This won't give you the whole picture since pretty soon you'll get reviews stating that there's no game...

    Don't normally read fiction but this looks pretty cool and it's on audible.

    The next gold rush - IoT (internet of things)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've heard a lot about this. Read a few articles on why it's important but I'm just not seeing it.

    Around a desk at work, should I learn to write copy of code? Or both?

    Neither. Don't learn stuff for the sake of learning it. Learn what you need when you actually need it.

    If you're not actively applying what you've read then it's just mental masturbation.

    Keep at it Until it Hurts (or Just Works)

    EXECUTION 
    People on this forum advised me that getting downloads on an indie budget would be the biggest challenge and it's true. How will people find out about the app? Making profitable apps is a highly resource intensive task and I imagine importing is not much different. "Don't half-a$$ two...

    UNI/COLLEGE STUDENTS! EDUCATION VS TIME

    For me, going back to college next year and finishing a computer science degree is a backup plan so I won't be stuck working dead end retail jobs (hopefully). Having a degree is a bit of a status thing as well. If you must choose between two paths and you're not sure where either of them will...

    A Morning Routine.. Best Method Of The Highly Successful

    HOT! 
    Mine is pretty simple. go to bed at 8-10 pm 4:15 am - wake up 4:15-4:45 - actually wake up, do something mentally stimulating (ie read or work on a project), if I've slept well then I'll also be mentally sharper than usual at this time 5:00 - 6:00 - gym 7:00 - 8:00 - stretch, breakfast, chill...

    Any tips on how to validate a mobile video game idea?

    IDEA 
    That's more along the lines of what I was thinking. Video game development is very time intensive and fairly high risk so idea validation should be essential. Just as one wouldn't spend months building a website for a super competitive market without any validation before hand.

    Any tips on how to validate a mobile video game idea?

    IDEA 
    Trying to avoid the trap of thinking "build it and they will come!" How could one "pre-sell" a mobile video game before spending a ton of time developing it? It's hard for me to imagine how this could be done by a one-man team. Looking to find any sort of data that could give me some sort of...

    Could I use facebook marketing to target this demographic?

    MARKETING 
    I'm trying to find Canadian Android phone/tablet users that are about to take their firearm licensing exams, I've heard a lot about facebook marketing being a good way to target specific demographics, any idea how I could use it to target these android users? I need to find people that are 1...

    night shift

    RANT 
    Worked a night shift for nearly 2 years, it's like another world. Some people adjust to it better than others. Would never do it again though, too depressing.

    My thoughts on app re-skinning

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I just build in android, know a bit of xcode but I've decided to stick with android for now until I find something that really clicks. Games are too risky for me; they require a lot of time investment and like you said, it's hard to be sure what will be a hit. Though it's tempting to make one...

    My thoughts on app re-skinning

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't have much experience with apps but I spent the last few days doing a ton of research on app re-skinning as well as re-skinning one of my own apps and I just want to share what I've learned. Perhaps a more experienced person could chime in with what they think. The conclusion I've come...

    The single biggest reason why startups succeed

    What does it mean for a start-up to succeed? Well, for one it has to be in an environment that will be ready for it. Which sounds a lot like having the right timing. Using the same logic, another big reason why a startup succeeds is if it makes the founders rich. So basically what I'm saying...

    Should I thrive for balance or stay true to myself?

    PEOPLE 
    The higher up the mountain you climb (or further down the rabbit hole you go), the more specific the problems become to you and your situation and the less resources you'll find to guide you through. Learn to trust your gut with smaller problems and it'll be your most valuable resource when...

    What do you guys think about the Oculus rift?

    I've thought a lot about this. I think it'll be a big hit, like others have said in this thread, it'll be a new platform but I don't think it will have the same mass appeal as smart phones.
