You'd be surprised to see how much you can achieve without writing a single line of code. I'm a CS Grad, but I always test my ideas through no-code MVPs [1]. Although I understand it gets a bit tricky when we're talking about mobile apps, but I'd suggest sticking to the web since it offers better discovery and is a hell of a lot convenient for "testing" users.

I could have easily deleted the previous post, and do a Show HN again, but I didn't because that'd be spamming. Please understand that HN is a community where people can discuss anything related to tech. This post doesn't violate any HN rules

Hey, Matt

A lot of founders who are looking to sell their businesses can't estimate what their company is worth, mainly because they are too emotionally invested in the project. A good way to see what's a fair price in your case would be to let the market decide it. I made Soochi [1] so founders who are interested in selling their business can see how much can they get for their business, as well as find the right seller i.e. someone who can actually take the business forward. Let me know if you'd like to list your business on our site? We're running a $30 off promotion right now!

I sort of already do this with #smileMore [1], for free.

Expect something in a few hours :)

Hey, this doesn't answer your question but I had to ask.

I'm building a side-project, where users will be able to list their domains for sale. What do you think I should charge as the listing price?

Nicely done. I'd suggest not taking an investor though unless you are really having trouble with scaling.

That makes sense. Could you share with how exactly did you make the money - what were you offering before?

>>without writing a single line of code

Umm, how? You have a web app, you provide people with an admin dashboard to interact with the messaging apps. Am I missing something here?

Nice website, I have bookmarked it. Hopefully, in a few months you'll be able to populate it more.

As far as feedback goes: - I'd work on the UI a bit more (sorry, can't help but see it as a designer) - Your search page (from the navbar) throws an error. - I don't really see the point of user-registration (it's not there yet, but the options are visible)

And a few other UX for marketing improvements. It's a good site and you seem like you have got it covered. Best of luck. I'll check it whenever I can. If you need any help with front-end dev, let me know (shameless, I know but I'm actually good)

+1 Hire Product Managers and groom them a bit to become Product Owners. I'd suggest doing it before the acquisition.

I use AngelList to look out for jobs and couldn't find any startup that could sponsor a Visa. Is there any other job portal I should look at?

Sorry, didn't mention.

I'm from India, but can converse in both English and German, if that helps.

I actually did apply to a pretty popular company in Canada, and they said Visa sponsorship for jr. roles is almost impossible.

I have a friend who's doing some research there after he did his Masters. He speaks Spanish though, which I'm open to learning. Do you know any companies that might be hiring, or any job portal?

I would suggest working out (lift weights) if you aren't already doing it. I lost 50+lbs a few years ago with fasting and light cardio activity, and still don't have the body to show for it.

Hey, thanks for all these sources. Checking them out right now

Hey, I have two Medium blogs that point to my custom domain. They didn't charge me any money, and in fact the Support guy went above and beyond to help me the issues I was having with my domain name provider. But, I see now they are charging $75 for it and I'm a bit taken back.

If all you need is a blog, might I suggest Tumblr? They (as long as I remember) don't charge you a thing. You won't get an SSL certificate though.

Is it weird that I prefer Firefox? The only time I use Chrome is when I'm debugging some code.

I'm the founder of CampAd. AMA!

We are targeting startups only at the moment, but we do have plans to partner with all kinds of brands.

I'd love any advice I can get regarding how to scale the site etc. Email me on anmol@occasionaljunk.com
