Thanks! Yeah I mean I made it and copyrighted it, but outside of that want people to download it for free and feel free to share. It's just what I do for fun, so I'm not really worried about monetization or anything...
Yeah I know. I'm a little more flexible with what I'm willing to pay, but I know there will be a lot of management on my part, so some margin has to be there to make it worthwhile.
I would, but its for a single client who isn't willing to pay more. I'm not really trying to go out and find more clients right now, but would like a way to maximize what I'm able to do for this one in particular. They are fine with me finding people to work with, but don't want to do it themselves.
I agree on all points. My issue is that I can get basically unlimited work at $60/hr and my schedule is completely full. In order to accept all the work, I'll need to have other people helping and I can't pay the full hourly rate or there's no point in accepting it at all....
No not a lot of traffic right now. I figure the higher i can get the conversion rate with low traffic, that should only save me money ramping up the traffic. It is for startup founders - more precisely B2B startup founders. I think a lot of B2B startups could stand to benefit from using each others products. But you're right - that traffic would not apply to most companies outside of that niche. Thanks for the input. :)
I agree with you on most of your points, but don't know an alternative. I actually accept all requests from recruiters and will hit them up if i ever need extra work, so the spam I get ends up paying off in the end. I've gotten a few gigs from recruiters on linkedin.
I don't mind ini's. What format do you prefer? I thought about going with YAML for the configs instead since I'm already using it for the database schema...
Its more what I don't like about ZF2. Just going through tutorials it seems like everything takes twice as long as it did in ZF1. I like where their heads are at making it modular, but it seems to come at a cost when development time is concerned (ie do a whole lot more now so you can reuse your code later)
Thanks for the feedback! My main goal here is to recreate the workflow I'm used to with Zend (with a bunch of customized stuff I've added over the years) without all the bloat of Zend. Its more of an experiment than a finished product (started it wednesday of last week). I plan to add more tools and composer is definitely on the list. :) I guess this really stems from me not liking how ZF2 works, but not wanting to give up a workflow that works really well for me (from ZF1). I think that there are a lot of developers in the same boat as me, and I really just want to build on it and make it better.
CSS frameworks like Zurb Foundation's and Twitter Bootstrap are pretty popular now and make it tougher to make your site look ugly. I bet that has some influence.
haha good point :) It was for the hackathon. There were 1000+ people hacking this weekend and the top 20 got listed. So not completely a given that it would get listed.
but wouldn't it be better to have kids playing with a soccer ball that produces electricity all day than have them sitting around all day cranking a hand crank? Seems a little cruel...
