Aha! is looking for experienced Ruby on Rails, Javascript and front-end engineers to develop rich interactive experiences in React with a Rails backend. Aha! is the #1 tool for product managers to plan strategy and roadmaps.
Aha! is profitable, you can work from anywhere in North America and we offer excellent benefits.
We use our own product to manage our work (which is especially rewarding), we deploy continuously and we are developing in Rails/CoffeeScript/React/d3. Our entire team is remote - primarily in US and Canada.
I have a counter-example. I built an OSX application for remotely tailing logs on servers (http://www.remotetailapp.com/). Originally I did it to scratch and itch when I was administering a bunch of servers over SSH. I added Heroku log support when I started working on a Heroku project. I had dreams that it might grow into a self-sustaining side project, but it hasn't really taken off. The key lesson that I learnt is that the technology just solves part of the problem. Just because it is downloadable software rather than SaaS doesn't mean that you don't need to put effort into marketing and sales.
This hits at the key challenge with creating an MVP - how do you avoid ending up with minimal functionality that doesn't provide any delight? If your MVP doesn't have enough to inspire use (let alone love) how will you learn enough for the next iteration?
