None. I'd use Go with standard library templates and plain ol' CSS with a sprinkle of JS.
If I was forbidden to use that, I'd probably use Ruby on Rails, Django or something like that.

1. If you're not a single person (ie, you have children and/or spouse) then the idea of an "uninterrupted pomodoro" is nothing but a dream. Things happen. If you don't pause or restart the pomodoro you leave it on and then you give up and move on to the next one, or you work through the break to make for the lost focus.
2. Breaks can often feel like a waste of time when you're in a good flow state. Why stop because your timer says so? I'd often go for several breaks/pomodoros without paying any attention to my timer.
3. Sometimes starting the pomodoro would take a lot of effort (more so than just working). I think it's because you know when you start you're locked in for 25 minutes... if you don't have a clear task and motivation to start you end up delaying.
The list goes on and on... ultimately, I said to hell with it.
Recently I used it to bulk import a billion rows and dedupe by a single column/constraint by throwing out the rows that conflicted. It did it-- in like two hours.
They need to get rid of the homeless camps and eradicate public drug use. Nothing will change otherwise. Portland today is like NYC in the 1980s.
If you're worried about supporting older Go compilers, you could always have build conditions for older versions that define missing things like:
// +build !go1.7
type any = interface{}
I have no doubt luck was involved. I hit the market at a good time and gained traction quickly. I have done zero marketing and customers come in through word of mouth and via search engines. Surely there was luck in there.
As for choosing the idea-- that was more systematic. I chose a service that solved a real pain point for many companies in a specific industry. I chose it because it because:
1. There were many competitors (10+). That meant someone was making money, and more importantly, someone was spending money.
2. The industry/customers had a very clear channel for early word of mouth/traction (ie, it was easy to reach the customers and say "hey look at this solution for X").
3. A cottage industry exists around the industry. There are many "influencers" and training seminars, conferences, etc. Once my service gained some traction it was easy to stick around because people kept talking about it at conferences. I also gave access to these "influencers" for free.
I'd say stick to B2B, and look for 1-3 from above.. those are ideal for a solo-SaaS product.
1. I made a lot of money and company was successful.
2. Friends feel left behind and resentment grows over your lifestyle, etc.
3. Friends stop talking to you or become very short with you.
I assume you had a vesting period? If so he can probably only get 25% of his shares anyway-- so him giving 75% back isn't really his choice. It was silly for you to give a large percent of the company away after doing a lot of the work yourself. Big mistake on your part.
> I argued that he still has an employee mindset. Founders don't get to quit randomly; we have a responsibility towards investors and employees who stuck with us through all this.
I don't think you're convincing him to stay. You only sound like a patronizing ass.
People can quit whenever they want. Life is too short to grind on something because, investors.
I'm glad Zed exists and hope it succeeds. I'm rooting for the team and hope they can put Microsoft's editor down the way Microsoft put Atom down.
With that being said-- I won't be using it. I've been using Vim for ~15 years and I've tried every editor and IDE under the sun. I just can't use anything else.
For example, if the sentence I memorized is, "I dreamt I was a butterfly! What a wonderful sight it was." my password would be: IdIwab!Wawsiw.
For a database, I have been using PostgreSQL.
Also, Chrome (Google) has a habit of randomly disabling or removing side loaded extensions. I even had a side loaded extension that Google forced removal of because Google deemed it contained malware (which it didn't, I know because I wrote it).
If you're going to do social, do whatever you find rewarding. If not, then don't.
Personally, I find zero value in becoming an "influencer" or having a well known blog/industry creds. I'd rather let my creations speak for themselves.
"Think of the children!" is a classic argument when you have an agenda to push. This isn't anything new.
I can't imagine doing XHR requests that return partial HTML snippets to be "good" for a crawler that expects one page to link to another (assuming they are running JS to begin with).
