riffmaster··on Ask HN: Alternative to cj.com for affiliation program / referral for web product
What about share-a-sale ??
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Review My App, EmailMeButton.com
Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, its a good idea to add a "How It looks" page. I could add a "Try Me" arrow in the home page to showcase the button better. yes, I also have to include other options like to touch on the page. But thats for the future :)

Hi gdhillon,

Thanks for the tip. I'll look at how I can incorporate that as well.

Hi jnorthrop,

Thanks for your reply.

Currently my users are people with blogs & websites. My target market has to be web apps in the future. So people can put in "need help? email us" button. And as this button floats to the bottom right, its sort of a "feedback" button. I know that there are a lot of chat scripts which default to email when you're not online. But, its hard being online all the time for single founders and using a chat script to default to email is not worth the money.

The web is growing any way and more users need a simple solution for a contact form.

riffmaster··on Ask HN: What is your preferred alternative to GoDaddy?
Name for international domains like .im and Namecheap for others
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Please rate my web application
It's really nice and simple .. Again the name is a little creepy! Old or Sweet sound much more appealing.
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Where do you buy your SSL certificates?
I get them from http://namecheap.com
riffmaster··on I'm starting a hangout where 3-5 of us will review our progress, etc. Good idea?
great idea! count me in
riffmaster··on which technologies you using for your startup or project?
PHP with Codeigniter framework & jQuery for Sprint.Im
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Where do you get your logos from?
I would suggest finding a good font on Google WebFonts (http://www.google.com/webfonts) , pick a color & use gimp/photoshop. Most logo's only have text in them. I had to design my logo this way as I am on a shoe string budget for my startup.
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Would you pay developers to fix open source bugs?
It's a good idea. Would it be possible to even choose the developer to fix the bug out of the developers who are interested ?
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Is Your Startup a Side Project or Full Time?
working on a few side projects but hoping Sprint.Im will be my full time job in a few months
riffmaster··on Ask HN: How do I find a marketing person for equity?
This could help for a color gradient http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Idea for startup. Lets Help our mothers using a pc
It's good idea. I know a couple of companies that do Windows Support this way. Even Norton does Virus cleaning this way. But, how easy/hard is it to going to be for them to login/register to your site , create an account and make payments themselves ? It gets harder for them to enter credit card numbers online and I don't think you can provide support for that.

riffmaster··on Ask HN: Review my project management tool Sprint.Im
Yes, I agree. Thanks for your feedback
riffmaster··on Ask HN: Review my project management tool Sprint.Im
I was actually aiming towards general project management. But, I can see how it can be integrated well with zendesk/sifterapp.. I'm not really sure how integrating with github for would work for project management.

thanks for your feedback! :)

riffmaster··on Ask HN: Review my project management tool Sprint.Im
Yes and No. Rememberme cookie autologs in when you goto company.sprint.im (if you have logged in before). It however does not log you in directly if you try to goto sprint.im. This is something I probably should work on. A simple login link would solve all the problems.

I use codeigniter.

Hello V,

1. I'll see what I can do for the <hr> tag 2. Once you're registered, you get a companyname.sprint.im - That is where you're expected to login. 3.ok 4. Ok will plan on changing about and a few other pages. 5. ok 6. yeah its a little confusing.

yeah I've been pondering over if its the right call to showcase that it was built by a single person. Will have to do some testing to see what works. But I was hoping that it would me a more personal touch with customers.

Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions :) yes. Basecamp and Jira are huge so is project bubble. Hoping to get a good slice of the market share soon :)

riffmaster··on Ask HN: Review my project management tool Sprint.Im
I understand your point "Effective project management for small teams." sounds much better.

yes, it is meant for teams. yes, planning to test with different headlines.

thanks
