Jan 17	comment	Feasibility of a narrow focused development firm Tim, maybe you're talking about clients who are not in development business at all. But clients like all my previous employers can definitely tell a "designer" from anyone technical, i.e. an engineer. Also, I am not talking about a one man operation - I am talking about a team. As far as fundamental problems -- technical debt is a fundamental problem, which no one really wants to deal with because they're swamped with new projects. Migration from old technologies to new is a fundamental problem. Setting up build and testing is pretty fundamental, too.
Jan 16	comment	Feasibility of a narrow focused development firm Hi Tim. Thanks for a comment. Yes technically you compete with freelancers, full stack firms and design agencies but really it's only full stack agencies, which imo usually are weak on the front-end. Also, I don't mean design at all. There is too many designers already. I mean front-end architecture and building widget-based web apps. Thing is, currently we work for an employer and every day do stuff that they present on HTML5DevConf workshops for example as like cutting edge technologies. We are in a very good place technologically, but would like to expand beyond just our employer.

Oct 8	comment	How can I encourage participation in a survey? Thanks for reply, @Jonathan. FYI the ad clearly stated in the title that it's a survey, to make sure users know what to expect. But overall I see your point, it might have been an inconvenience to them. And also I realized later on that landing page did not contain anything other than the survey itself, which obviously did not win any trust either. Will try to incorporate your suggestions in the new attempt.
Oct 8	comment	How can I encourage participation in a survey? Hi @frenchie, thanks for the reply. Definitely it is a lot easier to sit down with potential customers, in fact, if it's only a dozen of them. But I am not sure if this would be as convincing. For example, if I get a couple hundred replies in a survey, which is more or less enough from statistical point of view, a dozen face to face conversations seems too low of a number.

Sep 6	accepted	Customer Discovery: How much data is sufficient?
Sep 6	comment	Customer Discovery: How much data is sufficient? So it shows sample size of 120 for population of 50M with confidence interval of 9, and confidence level of 95%? Yes, it's a much lower number than I thought.
May 15	comment	Customer Discovery: How much data is sufficient? I guess it's just the way you say it. I am pretty new here. I am in general perplexed by negative reactions to my questions. I asked 2 questions, this one has -1 votes, another one has -2 votes... why? Are they bad questions? Too dumb? Too obvious? I don't get this...

May 15	comment	Customer Discovery: How much data is sufficient? @dnbrv I am not a statistics major and sorry if I don't ask the right question. I meant "how many responses" and enough "for concluding that this is a viable market".
May 15	comment	Can a patent troll sue an overseas company? All of you guys who -1 my comment are probably Americans who either don't know what offshore companies are or who are simply afraid of the term itself. Narrow minded, that is.
May 15	comment	Customer Discovery: How much data is sufficient? PS @JosephBarisonzi, you seem to be annoyed with my question. I don't appreciate that. And your follow up questions also don't seem practical, FYI.

May 15	comment	Celebrity endorsements Thanks for good points. Re. viral marketing - why do you single it out? Isn't it part of the marketing as a whole? Also, right now I am not talking about PR at all. I am talking about having someone basically say "I too am behind this" and no one else needs to see this except maybe a few people. And no, I am NOT saying that this is the ONLY thing I would rely on to get other people on board. It's only a part of the plan.
May 15	comment	Celebrity endorsements @bangdang, I did email agent, I mentioned that I believe. Re. your last assertion, I disagree. There's a lot of products that sell because of celeb endorsements.
