Katie was like all of us at one time. She sucked at something. People are often too afraid to admit it or persevere past the suckiness. But Katie did. And she's in inspiration to me.

on: Show HN: Try Riding the Boosted Board for Free in SF
I absolutely love riding the Boosted Board. It's an amazing vehicle that goes up to 20MPH and weighs just 15lb. I plan on solely using my Boosted Board to commute around SF.
I'm happy to answer any questions or concerns about this service.

on: Funding Your Startup With Hackathon Winnings
Love hearing this! I co-founded the first MHacks and after going to 10+ hackathons, I think this will become a trend. Hackathons are held in nearly every major city and every college now. More prize winnings, more hackers to meet potential cofounders and you're ripe to see just a few more startups.

Love the post, Alex! Looking forward to the re-designed Fetchnotes.
My issue is I take notes and never get back to actually doing them. I need smarter notes to remind me of next steps to get stuff done!

on: The Newest Lean Startup Tool: Kickstarter
Great points by Michael here. Kickstarter has opened the doors as a tool to gain initial funding to meet producing an exact product or service.
What I loved most about Michael's post is he talked about the importance of outreach - tweets from other relevant organizations, guest blog posts and contributing to online forums. Though Kickstarter is a "marketplace" - it likely won't get you all the backers you need without doing your own outreach to potential customers and backers. It's essential to understand their pain points and meet it with your product, just as Real Python did.

on: How to ask startup people for introductions
If the person you want to get intro-ed to is too busy to currently help you out, is it typically OK to follow up again just a month later? Or would you recommend trying to get intro-ed by someone else?

Excel is a challenging tool to learn. It's not necessarily Excel that's the problem - it's called "human error". It happens everywhere.

Wow! Very inspiring story! I'm glad to hear you stuck to your strengths and didn't desperately force a non-programmer to learn programming. It was a critical part of your business but your full-time employees focusing on their expertise worked out for the best.

on: Q&A with Alexis Ohanian – March 1
It's open to the masses and online. It may not be the traditional style of a course in which you're assigned homework and have exams, but it seems to qualify for the loose definition of a MOOC. I love that you can ask him questions in real time and he's readily available here! Saves so much effort on my behalf to get to know him.

Creating a community around an app is very difficult. Getting traction and sustaining is numero uno on gaining "success". Looking forward to what Alexis has to say!
