    My new website, just released, please tell me what you all think about it.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This site is a classic archetype of the two-sided marketplace problem. People will not visit your site unless there is content from people to read, and people will not post on the site if there is nobody to read. In order to be successful, you have to overcome this problem. How you do that may...

    Startup Idea.. Looking for web designer to partner with

    IDEA 
    There's good advice in this thread, but don't let it discourage you if you think there is potential in this idea. I'm a developer who has been approached by numerous 'idea guys' with some sort of super-disruptive-web3.0-facebook-killing-stealth idea, but they have no evidence to back up such...

    Is it better to hire a web developer or take the time to learn it yourself

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You need to focus on your core competencies. If development isn't part of your core competency, you should outsource it. In fact, I've often see people who are developers themselves, outsource technical aspects like this. The fact of the matter is, time is limited, and you should be focused on...

    I'm downtown in the Streeterville area. It'd be cool to meetup for coffee or something if either one of you guys (or both) are interested.

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    I'm a software engineer for a large multi-national company. The work is fairly interesting, but I'm not content with the slowlane. I have a burning desire that is eating away at me to break away from it. It's not that I want to switch to the fastlane, I NEED to.

    The medical field is staged to be the next great frontier with regards to technology. Being a physician, you could potentially bring great insight into the areas that are currently lacking from a technology standpoint.

    What is the best forum of coding to learn first as a complete beginner

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What do you want to do? The answer to this could cause the results to vary widely. For instance: Creating web sites - You will need to learn HTML/CSS (and possibly JavaScript) to create web sites Creating web applications - This point sort of subsumes the above point. The point of...

    Qs re: Custom Code Modifications to my First Dating Site

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    320 hours, or even 240 for that matter, is a huge chunk of time. It is especially risky is you broker this deal through a contract. What I would suggest, as a developer, is to try to scope a smaller area that you can send to this developer for a trial run. If you find something that can...

    Need help in validating my idea...

    IDEA 
    Thanks theag. That's my concern. However, similar companies like I mentioned above (Postmark and SendGrid), exist solely to abstract a certain feature away (in this example, email delivery) from the developer. I'm just unsure if something like this is a critical enough thing that would warrant a...

    Processing credit cards online

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm curious as to why you decided to go the route you did versus integrating something like Stripe, PayPal, or Chargify into your service? Stripe doesn't require a merchant account, and you can pretty easily begin accepting credit cards right away.
