If I was smart enough I would!

Care to share the website?

I love the honest descriptions and mission you are driving on here. As the other poster said, a lot of it will come down to "experience is the best." (at least in my opinion too).

I see the value draw to younger people who aren't really sure what they want to do, or older workers who might want to jump to a new career path. Nothing beats candid opinions.

I don't see much you should add, adding more feels like it would try to make the product do more than it should; I feel it's great where its at.

Well done.

No, because in addition to interests, I would want to make sure this person is one I could trust.

I get queasy around people as is.

Firefox offers blocking you from "third-party tracking cookies" by default, so if you are concerned - make the switch.

I expected to lose against a computer.

I was right.

Another prime example why UI redesigns are a waste of time - https://debugandrelease.blogspot.com/2019/03/ui-redesigns-ar...

Yes, I would say that it is.

Pay them (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19630181).

Other reasonable suggestions include: - Post on producthunt - Post on reddit - Google Ads - Facebook page - Cold-emails - Word of mouth - Business cards - Scour the internet for forums related to your web apps

The best success I've had has come from winning the HN lottery, I got on the front page. Otherwise paying people was 2nd. I don't have a 3rd option that has worked well enough yet.

I don't know of any service that does this, but you could write a process that could analyze every line in a given repo. Weight for each line of code would have to be balanced against the number of lines previously written by that developer, as well as the date of the commit (more-recent commits weigh more) and perhaps the TFS work item associated with the changeset, and other details of the TFS work item/bug.

IMO, it seems a lot more work than the value can provide - a simple answer from one of the devs suffices, it's what the process has been for me.

You are much smarter than I, reading this article is evidence of that.

This is an incredibly helpful explanation of everything, thank you!

Aren't taxes going to be an issue if I run as a "sole proprietor"?

Interesting.

Can you share "cards" with other people or just within your own projects?

That's where you need to build up the fundamentals that you've learned. I'm excited to see what people are going to build with this once they've gotten comfortable with the engine. Creativity will be the limit!

Thanks for your suggestion! I do have software that's ready, just need to start working in the "legal how-to's."

Have you started the project yet, or just in the ideas phase?

Are you the author of this article?

Thanks!

We've talked before- I really enjoyed your earlier HN posts on Surreal CMS and the experiences/challenges you've faced (and overcame).

My really big questions are when it comes to the taxes. I know I'll need some provider to take in payments, but then how do I report this properly to the IRS. Your explanation gives me some insight how it can be done for one-man shows. So you say the CPA helps you file all of this? Or do you do the quarterlies by yourself and go to the CPA with this?

What about all the legal? As a one-person business, I imagine it's too much to understand all the legal rules w/o consulting with an expert.

I have all that done, the "paperwork" part is the step I'm at now. It's the "paperwork" part that's a mystery for me, as unless I imagine you are in business or have been exposed to it, there's a lot of area you've never covered before (this is the way it is for me).

What do those acronyms stand for, PG, SA, etc?

Incredibly helpful. In the US here, some of these are definitely things I'll need to do, but I don't know the places I need to go yet. Something tells me that registering is easier in the UK, but I'll find out.

How do you keep on top of your accounts for your business?

I'll look at all of these resources, thank you for sharing!

This is why you should block these trackers by modifying your hosts file (https://debugandrelease.blogspot.com/2019/01/how-to-block-on...). It doesn't just block ads, but trackers too.

I struggle with the same thing. I'm the author of My Budget, and struggle to find OFX credentials to pull transaction details back.

Would you consider taking up the open-source plaid alternative? I've talked to someone who shared some great ideas with me how it can work. We can work on it together.

I happened to go through your past HN posts, and really enjoy your story and the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. Your story really inspires me to build great products that others will enjoy and use.

Your code editor is also very nice!!

Thank you for offering this, that's very nice of you!

There's support for this, but it's limited at the moment. Getting OFX supported is a priority of mine (in the meantime, it uses screen scraping to pull transaction data).
