Infected with the entrepreneurial bug and had spit out Islamgram iOS app, PrayerTi.me iPhone app, Islamic Event Finder, DemoGeek and a few other products...don't know when I would hit GOLD! Your suggestions are more than welcome!

Other than Facebook Ads you can try hashtags on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram to reach a few more of those audience.

Parse has become so unreliable and my users complain a lot about APNS not going through. It's working for some and not working for many in PROD. Hard to figure why it's not working as everything else you touch in Parse will ask for a paid service (straight to Enterprise Plan!). Will have to code something by myself.

After a lot of back and forth I went with the late-2013 15" rMBP and I don't regret it for a minute. I know, it's expensive but if you can afford and as someone else said here, after you spend some time with the retina display it's hard to get back to a non-retina display, I can tell you that for sure, especially when you work on the high-resolution ratio...you can fit a lot more content at that resolution and is quite useful when you design.

That's a great advice. I would say, in this day and age, if you are starting to learn then learn it correct. Learn a JS framework like Angular and build your client as purely browser based and learn another framework such Ruby-on-Rails or Laravel or CodeIgniter to just serve JSON data for your JS client. I think that's the route to go as your data feeds can be leveraged on many different mobile clients as well.

Fantastic tut on Angular. I wish you wrote on a different blog engine.

Sure :) I love Seth and his talks and thought of having him on the first page. Can change it later. Thanks for that tip, any opinion about the app?
