After 4 years of working to build a big VC fundable startups (3 different products), I was pretty burnt out. I am continuing the last product, but now my focus is on building lifestyle startups which brings about $1m revenue every year.
Joined a job on the side, which would help pay my bills and help my family settle down. In the meanwhile, I would be chipping along to build my small revenue generating startup.
At Koove, we believe communities are the core of the universe. However, the online communities are not really able to achieve that. There has been no disruption since Reddit.
If you are passionate about solving this problem and making great communities, lets discuss and see if we have synergies.
We are also looking for engineers proficient in javascript frameworks, python and social apis. The dev team will be located in Bangalore, India.
More than a physical keyboard, a keyboard designed for mobile users excites me more.
Many people use one hand to type on the mobile phone (thumb to be more exact). However, the design of the keyboard on the mobile screen does not align well with the natural movement of the thumb. It is painful and hideous.
I believe an Arc keyboard on the mobile screen would be the best design. Anyone working on something similar?
Some follow-on questions:
1. How often do you visit HN in day? 2. How do you generally spend your time on HN? reading new articles, reading comments, Commenting and participating, or something else? 3. Are you actively looking for a job, or you stumble across a good job posting when doing your normal browsing?

This is something I would like to discuss a bit more.(not the job opportunity, but the responses) no email on profile. :) Please share if you don't mind me asking a few follow-up questions.
This is a nice idea. We had tried this once in Bangalore, however, there was two major challenges.
1. Not enough people asking great questions.
2. The answers to questions was only vocal, with no presentation or material to back it up.
The first was easily solved by seeding a few question in the public to get things moving. However the number 2 was a major problem. Many people were not able to connect to the answers/discussions.
I would love to know if you are able to solve the 2nd problem.
This might possibly be the best thing to happen to you.
A good time to think over, prioritize launch over features, etv. 8 months is too long to take for a mvp. What you are building is most certainly not a mvp.
I have gone through similar stage, but it has only made me wiser.
