1) Ability to add our own news/blog sources (good for you to expand news sources) 2) Remove username from registration (I realize it's only one field but it's one field less to fill in and don't see the point to it) 3) Make news sources font smaller and in different color. If hyperlinked, it will go to the actual collection of articles from that news source.
Simple stock news engine for hobby investors. Useful app.
Supports to-dos, milestones, time tracking and a notebook (simpler ver of wiki). It also supports Git and SVN.
Most (if not all) bootstrappers are optimistic (and thus willing to risk steady paying job) about their product(s). As are result, they think SS stories are the norm. This will sound strange but if you don't think that way, you will already have lost half the battle.

This is a major issue.
IMHO, where you right now, I don't think that's a significant enough advantage. The costs of moving and living/working in SV is just not worth it at this stage.
Is there a specific reason why you want to go to SV first?
Ridiculous.
Never heard of them until now...it's art you actually use!
