VENTUREAPP is a private network that connects startups with the people and solutions that can help their business succeed. We're building an intelligent platform that helps solve the common and not-so-common issues that startups encounter day to day.
We're looking for an experienced front-end engineer to join our fast-moving and accountable product team. You'll be one of the first 10 team members and play a critical role in our success. We have two primary products now: A user-facing web app, and an internal control center, code named "Houston". We're launching a mobile app in the coming months.
Responsibilities include: owning the front-end codebase, building efficient and reusable front-end systems, participating in user experience and code reviews, and addressing front-end performance bottlenecks.
These are the better ones I have. Mostly acquired for different startup ideas I'm riffing on.
- read.io
- tit.io
- fix.io
- foodcopter.com (for when drones deliver your dinner of course)
- burgercopter.com (same reason)
- pizzacopter.com (same reason)
I've developed a simple tool for parking unused domains. Just set your nameservers and the whole inquiry process is automated. Would love feedback! http://parktap.com/
Looks great. I see mention of limits, but there is no pricing page. It's hard to adopt a service if I have no idea what it will cost me.
I have used Embed.ly's similar service in the past. There is a sizable free tier (25,000 images) and it works more or less the same. http://embed.ly/display
If you have coding experience it should be very easy. Most charts will simply need data in JSON format passed to them. Personally I use Keen.io for storing and querying analytics data. You can get a live URL of an query that can be directly connected to your code. They also have a dashboard template to get you started.
I'm intrigued by this. The author states that they work primarily with "idea stage" e-commerce businesses. I can't think of a more perfect scenario for using bootstrap - building MVPs and validating the ideas. If I were him I would have my in-house developers master bootstrap, resulting in a higher output for the incubated non-technical teams.
Perhaps Bootstrap isn't a good fit for their team (there are many UI frameworks), but if you're developing each of your MVPs from scratch, I'd have to argue that your idea-to-business engine is running inefficiently.
Additionally, the out of box cross browser support that you get from Bootstrap will be a big help in ensuring conversion on an e-commerce site, without spending heavily in testing.
Congrats on shipping. I wanted to do something simple like this. I bought a domain for it, Radiyum.com (Radius + Food), but ended up shelving the idea for some of the reasons other folks have brought up. There's only so much time in the day!
The DOD gives this shit away (to our rural towns and cities) so they can consider it in use and order more from contractors, which gives more cash to the lobbyists and contractors. Rinse and repeat. It's very straightforward.
I've been trying for days to get OwnCloud working properly with for my 30 person startup. I wish I could say it was going great but I'm a couple hours away from trying out DropBox for business.
I went with Ubuntu, 200GB EBS, M1X-large and the latest OwnCloud (6.0.1 stable)
Syncing has been brutal. We have a 100MB connection, and even the few test users I've put on it all are complaining of it not consistently syncing. Additionally there is no LAN Sync like Dropbox, so you're paying for all the bandwidth.
Since i't at somewhere between $250-300 for OwnCloud and it's been working so poorly, the $450/month for Dropbox isn't looking as bad.
It's a shame. There is good potential here, but as others mentioned the UI is really janky, and it doesn't consistently work as expected.
You can create multiple boards in trello, mixing personal and business. This means you can keep all of this stuff in the same system, but not have them appear in your Team's trello.
Isn't that way simpler? That's how i do it anyway.
And to think I thought the Thunderbolt display was pricey at $1k. I love it, but I don't think I could possible realize (or notice) the increase in capability unless working heavily in graphics and video, and that's assuming that the machine attached to it has a card that takes advantage of it.
Agree completely. I can tell this was made with UnBounce, and i could duplicate it in roughly 6 minutes.
If you have an idea worth testing, it's probably worth spending 5-10 hours on the test, assuming you want to receive decision making data.
I would expect any landing page like this to "prove" the idea was terrible, when it in fact could have legs. I for one would like a salsa of the month club.
* Hot list (validated. would like to spend more time on it)
* Dead pool (didn't pass validation, or interests/resources/priorities shifted)
My deadpool list will be turned into an interesting book one day. Most likely one of those funny single page story books that are bought for bathroom reading.
