I've built an AngularJS app on top of Elasticsearch but it was specific to my index. I used the Elasticsearch angular adapter that comes with the JS client and wrote a service/factory around it. Definitely interested in something generic to browse an index.

I would really love something that would also let me test queries. There used to be the Sense Chrome plugin but that's been bundled into Marvel and not as available.

why? seems to be a fine choice for tens of thousands of devs

Nancy is super duper

Is anyone using Octopus for .NET stack deployment? http://octopusdeploy.com/

Would love more info on this setup.... looking to do the same in our shop

As socalnate1 mentions above this is very possible to scale up a small e-commerce operation and be profitable immediately - especially in niche products. There are several case studies for this.

For example I sell cases for mobile bluetooth speakers. Our Jambox case was profitable instantly and I paid for the first batch of inventory with revenue from a pre-launch sales discount. The first batch of inventory was paid for with sales before I had the product on hand. I packaged and shipped them out of my home office until it was a pain in the ass and now we use Amazon FBA. We use profits to purchase additional inventory at greater quantities to increase the profit margin. Rinse & repeat.

Granted this isn't Amazon scale but it's working. See Dodocase for another example (they are doing way better than us). http://mixergy.com/dodocase-patrick-buckley-interview/

One of the keys is to start small to prove the market so you don't end up with a shit load of inventory in your garage. Or better yet do what I did and sell them before you even have them made. We started with 50 units which I was fortunate to sell almost all of using pre-launch tactics before we ordered the inventory from our manufacturer.

We are a BizSpark startup using a combination of free tools and open source technology. Haven't spent a dime yet.

bingo!

Best part...

"I have about 6 apps that I am looking to build but can't seem to find anyone willing to build them for a percentage ownership. Let's take on zynga together and make millions in the process."

We're using Stripe - it's out already.

It starts at the top of your sitemap - which are likely shorter URLs

I can't speak for Patrick but I do keyword based landing pages on the main domain where the product is for sale so you can pass page rank from keyword pages to your product pages or TLD.

This is also less work because you can create these optimized topical landing pages programmatically and just add some unique keyword rich content to them.

Also if you are adding domains regularly just for content you will have to wait a decent amount of time to let the domain age and you are always starting over at PR0.

This research should have been done as due diligence in the lightbulb->launch phase. If nobody is searching for the problem your product solves it's likely not going to be successful at scale.

I've tested Patrick's scalable content practices and have had much higher return compared to both AdWords and Facebook advertisements. Best part is you spend the time/money up front and it keeps working forever.

FWIW - In comparing these three methods (Content, AdWords, Facebook) based on their impact on the bottom line ($$$ -> that's what counts, right?) Facebook by far was the worst performer.

The only drawback to this is that it takes patience - results are not immediate.

That being said - you could have a (somewhat cuz it's not that old) aged keyword rich .co domain with quality inbound links and good content and likely rank the same.

Yes - having an aged keyword rich domain does impact SEO (although it's only one ingredient)

Consulting cannot scale (easy) because you trade time for money and time is of limited supply. The only way to scale is to work more or hire.

Contractors often work onsite for set lengths of contract (3,6,12 months) on one or more projects.

Consultants often work on a single project they bid on in their own time.

what is confusing?

using the Grid feature as a developer and end user is free. However there is a 25c flat transaction fee that is to be paid for by either party in the transaction

kinda - without massive percentage based fees + mobile and social payments

licensed for what?

You can opt-in for each purchase... it's optional to grant 3rd party permissions

It's about time - been waiting to get accepted to the private testing for months

Des Moines is a great example of where that article makes sense.

But there's no sense in leaving once reaching success. Reinvest it in the community that helps bring you up. Build something bigger. Repeat.

that's what happens when you design for advertising

I use Screenflow but Jing is free

Just had that conversation... Everybody charges per repo and that's pointless. Charge for disk space and let us have unlimited repos. I would sign up for monthly plan then.

Anyone try it yet?

Was looking for something just like this last night. Awesome.
