    How build an interactive and responsive website from scratch

    Python is a backend language. It shines for machine learning, but won't help much in build the frontend of a responsive website or web application. For the website, you'll have to learn HTML, CSS / SCSS. Starting with a theme or a UI framework can save some time, and you can tweak the theme...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Tiny 2 weeks update Changed the logo colors. The old ones chosen by the designer were really bad as the main brand colors. New ones are much better in our opinion. Left the shape intact. Finally had time to finish our website. Designed & built by me. The second designer just disappeared. The...

    Self-Promotion: Post Your Offer, YouTube Channel, Your Service (June 2020)

    SELF-PROMOTION 
    Why not leave a backlink to one of the most crappy websites on the internet? LeanyLabs is doing custom web application development for startups. Not wasting time on our own website ;). Most recently baked project, WeatherMan, went live on the previous week. Still in development. Please help it...

    It's Time To Take Action

    INTRO 
    Love BMW :thumbsup: Yes, it really is that simple. It took a long time for me to realize it too. Taking action is definitely the most important part. You probably already know enough to start, and more reading won't help much. And it takes time, which is much better spent on taking action...

    Find A Business Model and Then Stick To It

    Also, avoid chasing money and fads. Find something that works for others, but not where the crowds are going and stick to it. Or sell the shovels to the crowds, but make sure that it's long-term and not a fad first.

    Does your website suck?

    MARKETING 
    Our definitely Suck, in fact, is Sucks much more than the examples above. The funniest thing is that we do web development services :rofl::happy::eek: Gone fix that in roughly a month, too busy with client work. Update: Good that we're not a design agency ;)

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    3 Months update I haven't been here for a while and really busy with the company, so I'll try to keep it short. Both of my partners have exited the NDA project. The second one left when things started to go bad due to COVID and a hack that stole more than half of the project's balances. I'm the...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Monthly update Despite huge expenses, the NDA project still made a nice profit last month. They've added one more data feed and hired another developer to completely redesign the frontend. The complete design is not ready yet, but sketches look great. We haven't managed to hire a great...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Some updates: NDA Project is doing fine. One of my partners made a quite decent exit and bought a flat for his mother, his part was bought by the initial investor. They've made a decent roadmap for the next 6 months and started executing it. The hired developer started beeing more productive...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Some updates: NDA Project is doing fine. We're not actively involved now, they have their own developer full-time as I'm assisting him here and there for an hourly rate (approximately 1 hr/week). They've changed strategy, for now, to focus more on highly-paying customers that resulted in the...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    So we're back to the start, just with a little better starting position. The NDA project is back on track. This made already brought x2 revenue compared to failed November. After getting 4 emails from $60 on ads, getting a dozen interested QAs here and even a promise for presentation to local...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    Some updates Hired senior developer for the NDA Project. He already worked for us part-time on an hourly rate for a month and should've been here full time starting from this month, but due to contract issues on his current job that delayed till the 23rd of December. My partners thought it...

    Do You Know How Your Business Is Doing and Where It’s Going?

    When starting a business probably most people rely mostly on gut feeling. Yes, decisions may be validated with early adopters but there's still not much data to tell if the assumptions are correct. But as a business grows it collects more data that allows making more precise data-driven...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I've sold my road bike after witnessing an ambulance taking rider screaming in pain with his jeans covered in blood. Probably an accident wasn't his fault as it looked like the car was turning left on a crossroad and didn't saw him, but that doesn't matter for him. Next season I bought a...

    Failure is not an option

    EXECUTION 
    We're on to something so another update here. NDA Project is probably killing it. We're no longer coding it, looking for a local company with 1-3 middle to senior full-stack developers to take it over, which turned out to be harder than expected mostly cause they sell juniors as seniors... The...

    Are some of you an entrepreneur in the IT area?

    I've been trading time for money in different ways as a software engineer for more than a decade. Now we have a small company with a <50% share in the client's project that's on the market for a little less than 6 months. The biggest differences so far Not getting paid for the time/input is...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Thanks, MJ, it's a really great tool! The grade for the current project we're working on is very precise if we're really executing that well GradeMyBusinessIdea.com: NDA proj (Results) Hugely saves time to evaluate an idea on CENTS and probably is more objective too as it's possible to use it...

    Stock Trading software attempt

    EXECUTION 
    That is actually quite possible or even happening already. On of the main benefits of the last trading platform that I were coding on 9-5 was helping to filter out those stocks. Basically it done ton of calculations based on market data, news and historical data and the trader configured...
