Ask HN: What is the best way to boost a startup in the web?

3 points·onursenture··6 comments

Hi all, we are 4 passionate computer engineers who are trying to spread our work http://gonnasphere.com on the web. And, we see that it is really hard to get new users to our service.

So, what is the best way of boosting our idea. What are your suggestions?

Thank you.

This kinda reminds me of a web app I found a few days ago, [Fork Bin](http://www.forkbin.com/) which lets people make lists and allows others to "fork them."

But, either way, I wouldn't use either - I wouldn't want to share my lists. Their mine and mine only.

I agree with schoash, I don't understand why would I want to share my to-dos, that would be a total invasion of my privacy

i read an article by pg saying he thinks email is practically an impractical to-do list and it would be nice for someone to create a replacement ( for emails ) under the guise of a share-able todo list;

i think

Why would I want to share my todos?

Here is why, your friends might wonder what are you doing? Or you may want let them know how you are busy, what is your plans... It's up to you actually, if you dont want to share publicly it is possible to hide them with privacy settings.

I have to agree. If I set on making a web app like this, I would spin it to be more of a "bucket list" or list of goals rather than to dos.
