Try a whole bunch, see what you like more.

I've been working with rails for 10 years, got bored, switched to Django and it's been a lot of fun for me.

Cancel culture pioneer right here, folks. Cry me a river.

This is a pathetic policy, Gitlab. For this reason alone, I'll stick to GitHub.

What if I'm hospitalized or away on an extended trip? You just going to let someone else take my account username?

No thanks.

Controversial, but get off Hacker News and get to work. Best trick ever.

To answer your questions:

- Yes, the domain area was something that I was interested in already, but not necessarily practised. - Quite honest, I chose it purely on price and the design of the items bought. The dev put in effort to get everything designed nicely. - No, not at the time. It was a rails project so quality was not considered since its too easy to add on/rewrite where needed - Got customer lists, source code + design source, social media pages, analytics, payment profiles, domain. - I had a network locally that I knew I could sell to. I sold hard and 3 big agencies are now using it at a decent monthly fee. - Definitely! I'm scouring 1k daily now and have found a few other gems.

No, that's not me

I was lucky and found a small little gem on 1kprojects.com that turned itself into a nice little profitable side-project in 5 weeks (not linking to it because i don't want to seem like I'm advertising). Making half my monthly salary at my day job from it.

Sometimes it's just the simplest, least technical and gimmicky things that make money.

Hard to believe there's no mention of working on projects for the NSA.

I assume you are in tech (same as me) and I personally like getting away from the screen with my hobbies:

- Mountain biking - Hike with groups (great way to meet people) - Kickboxing (competitive and strategic) - Scuba diving (cheap adventures) - Gaming

+1 Been using them for 8 years without any trouble

The best investment I ever made was purchasing an old banged up Porsche 911T from a movie studio and keeping it garaged for nearly 13 years. I sold it for nearly 70 times the amount I bought it for.

> how much money they saved using your pricing model

Ah, that's a brilliant idea!

> If they are looking for a 1-3 page website, the price is going to be an immediate turnoff

That might actually explain what could be happening at the moment. Potential customers are scanning the content and not noticing the headline explaining that its for mobile services.

Our designer is taking all this feedback and making changes, we'll probably roll it out early next week.

Thanks again for your input, much appreciated!

Thanks for the suggestion. I bought the book you suggested and will give it a read this weekend.

We think we have a clear idea of who the buyer is, but it's been tough trying to actually get our message/brand in front of them as the conventional ways I mentioned previously only get us attention from other people like us.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to provide so much valuable insight - I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it some more thought (especially around the psychological aspect of positioning and how we convey the message and price).

Thanks for the link! Will definitely check that out

Thanks for the suggestions Jeff.

We have a few big name clients, but the size of the projects we've done for them don't necessarily reflect that, so the case studies are tough to pull off.

I never thought of the pricing like that, but definitely going to put my thinker on around it.

Github pages works really well.

An example of a site running on it: http://arthur-osx.com/

Purrrl files never expire.

http://purrrl.link generates the links automatically if you are uploading via the CLI.

I built one that doesn't expire files and we're planning to open source it: http://purrrl.link
