I bet the additional friction of asking for an address means most people don't bother doing anything.
Look at how many people nowadays just send a Facebook Happy Birthday message instead of a real card. In fact, I bet there is even an autoresponder in IFTTT to help send auto birthday messages.
Who know's what is real nowadays.
If it only takes 4 clicks to send a real gift to thank someone (or wish them a Happy Christmas), then this little app might be easy enough to help more of us connect with our virtual friends
I'm not trying to whine, I saw a problem and I'm asking for help fixing that problem in return for my time and money. Also, I have a job.
Me and my girlfriend have a great relationship and I do everything I can to make sure she's happy.
I have a lot more than $5000 to show for it. That's is just what I have for a side project.
I don't fail at everything. I'm only 23, and I think I've achieved quite a lot for my age. I wouldn't say all of my ideas have failed, but I aim high and I feel like I'm failing overall.
Both. I learnt to program at 15 when I taught myself PHP to set up an eCommerce site that could automatically create new voice server instances when a user placed an order. I guess you could say that was my first startup.
Since then I've worked with a few different companies on eCommerce sites doing a bit of everything including marketing. I have quite a lot of experience with SEO, pay-per-click and social media marketing. One of my failed startups was a social media marketing startup.
I work as a web developer. I have been building eCommerce sites since I was 15~, I'm 23 now! I can do frond-end and back-end development, although I think I'm better at back-end development. I have good experience with HTML/CSS/Javascript, PHP/MySql, Java & Node.js. I also have some experience in building AI systems using ANNs, GAs, etc.
Thanks for the advise and you're right, but this isn't my usual nightly routine. I took her out this weekend, like I do most weekends and I'm taking her away to Germany this summer - she wanted to go ever since I've known her. I'm not the perfect boyfriend, but I really do love my girlfriend and I do everything I can for her. Mine and her happiness comes first, period. The only reason I'm up tonight is because I wish I could give her more.
