We are just sorting out equity/option scheme for our first employee, so this was a good read, and completely agree with the first statement about owning 100% of a company where staff are not invested!!

nice one, signed up, some of the services would be useful!!

What do you think about the new regulations concerning app developers in California? It seems to be enforcing more of a penalty than the usual issue of badly implemented EULA/TOU?

Well done guys, fantastic class.. congrats to ThomasK

The HN Effect :-D

we are working with our current alpha users to find the right sort of rules that help them with their email.

The idea would be that you could setup custom rules based on the people who email you, or other web services you use, for example if a hot lead in sales force emailed you while your in a meeting, then forward it via SMS.

Being able to pickout a "time sensistive" email would really depend on what you consider time sensitive, but im sure we could provide something that would help.. email dom at tray.io and we can talk more about how tray could help fix your issue..?

At the moment the private alpha is just Gmail, because gmail provides OAuth Authentication, a much more secure/elegant way than requesting a users IMAP credentials.

Work is being done on supporting other email providers, which will obviously require storing the users credentials in a secure way & there is also a white label/internally hosted version in the works for the enterprise that mmahemoff mentioned..

Security for email is definitely our biggest issue so far, but we want to make sure we have it nailed before we go public...

go get a job you dont care about & get drunk in the evenings instead of thinking about customers/metrics/analytics.

or take a trip/pilgrimage to somewhere spiritual for guidance.. preferably in the next 7 days.

looks interesting, how do i apply?

"The internet" is being used to justify everyone getting everything they want for free.. Please consider how you might be using up entrepreneurial goodwill to make your life easier in many different ways without ever giving back and wasting the entrepreneurs time for no return.

Lean principles are there to make sense of an idea before too much time is actually wasted developing it. I would say that getting a hundred people to spend 60 seconds reading a landing page and then signaling their intent with a quick click is much less wasteful than months of development on an idea that may not have any real market. Going onto the street with a clipboard and survey doesn't really cut it todays world...

I was quite happy to help, as i was with the buffer lean landing page before.. i would hope that if i wanted to do the same type of thing to validate an idea, that i could count on the tech community to help...
