Also, can you support other login methods besides Facebook?

My office would use it right now. Can you add table tennis?
richf | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: do you use App.net?
Used it and loved it when it was the mobile app landing page service, paid the $50 for the new reincarnation during the backing phase -- never used it since. Wish I got my money back, actually.

Looks like the cheapest AACSB-accredited MBA program is $9k.

Amen! This has bothering me forever. I'm glad someone got around to writing about this.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Launched the MVP for my new Android app. Any feedback?
First and foremost, congrats on shipping - that's the hard part. As per the product, the UI looks pretty good for a MVP - I would probably polish it up a bit.

Twilio?

Jeez, I couldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. Are people really that dumb?
richf | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: I need to get some icons designed. How and how much?
Reach out to Guenther over at http://www.opoloo.com/ – great guy, reasonable prices.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: starting up with VPN or cloud hosting?
+1 for Heroku.
I only seriously took a hard look at Heroku in the past week and for what you get — I think it's absolutely fantastic. You can't beat the free, unlimited web dyno vs. AWS's free-for-one-year micro instance.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What code editor do you use?
Sublime Text
richf | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What startups did Apple's latest iOS and MacOSX updates make redundant?
All of the digital wallet start ups.

Cool, once you gain traction, I would definitely explore partnering with an OEM to get your application preloaded and work out some kind of deal that way. I think it would be a hit.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Kytephone (YC W12) Turns Android Phones Into Kid-Safe Devices
I think this app coupled together with a rugged kid-proof case would be a knockout combo.
Does anyone know what the future business model is? Pro version? OEM pre-load?

I totally agree with you. If I had to guess, I think it's going to be the way you described it — pick one of these socks from 5 pairs, great, Blake approved!
A celebrity's face always goes a long way.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: Your online WYSIWYG editor is broken
I wish you the best, like I said it looks fantastic. You can definitely tell that's there's quality and substance behind the product.
richf | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: Your online WYSIWYG editor is broken
This looks pretty impressive. I think the cost is too much, even if it is a one-time cost.
Do you have any paying customers yet?
richf | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your reason for doing a startup?
Don't do it for the money — 99% of startups fail. That's not to say that you might not fall into the 1%. Someone's gotta hit it big once in a while, right?
Do it because you love what you do and are passionate about it. Too many people failed trying to chase money. Don't make the mistake of doing a startup for the wrong reason.
