No monetization plan, part time work, difficult to find talent to help with the growth because of money... what if you made it open source? You would get really talented guys helping you with the project for free. You can win some money using donations.

Same on me, on last cycle we had our demo and vid visited although we had a very early and poor prototype, now we've been working really hard for months on it and we have a really awesome product, but no visits this time.

We even bought a server on USA so they had a low ping and did a tour on our demo. It's really hard to be working so much time on it and haven't had it even visited.

Actually HTML5 doesn't have almost anything to do with HTML4. You should start teaching HTML and CSS and when the base is built jump to javascript (HTML5)

Another web made with bootstrap. I've realized you're using jQuery 1.6.2 ¿why? we're already in jQuery 1.9

I actually love the idea but I think it's reaaaaally difficult to make it work because you require a lot of people to make it useful.

By the way, the video is fantastic, how have you done it?

Robby2012 | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you think about a Social Web OS?

Thanks you very much!!!

Actually our potential users are those who are used to using many devices throughout the day. We think of people between 16 and 40 years aprox. We also want to be used by companies in the future, but we know we'll need to have a big community and many apps available to make them want to be in.

We will win money in three ways: we offer 3GB free to everybody, if you want more disk space you'll have to pay; we will also offer special accounts for companies, with linked accounts and special features; finally, we will ask for 15% of the income developers make using weeZeel Store.

We know Google is one of our competitors and we know it will be really hard to win. With Chrome OS Google has proven thay think just as we do, but we aren't afraid, we know it will be a very tough fight but we aren't scared of them.

One of the big problems Google has is that their products aren't well linked. They offer Google+, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs... but it's like they were different products that don't work so good together (by the way, weeText works better than Google Docs).

Another problem about Google is privacy, if you read their terms and conditions you'll see ALL the data you upload will automatically become theirs. When talking about taking all your files to the cloud will you really upload your personal files knowing they will become property of Google?

Finally, Chrome Web Store only works in Google, if you want yo use all the apps available you have to use Chrome. This also happens with Chrome OS, you have to have it installed. weeZeel is universal, it works anywhere you go and in every device you use, you just need internet and a modern browser in order to enjoy weeZeel.
