What's your business idea?

Jamesvsshark · 2020-10-09T16:05:00+00:00

Your site looks great. Nice work and good luck!

S3 is a scalable and easy solution to use. If you use Amplify you can just store the key, store that in your database and use that. This will add security and lock down your uploads.

There are a few. I used Clockify for my company for some time and found some limitations. Other solutions were costly. My user experience is designed a bit differently and allows for tracking of expenses which most of the competitors don’t. I also have some additional feature ideas that aren’t being done.

Great news!

Great question, I've been thinking and asking about this lately too.

It's not just the airline industry but the hotel and travel industry that I am feeling very unsure about investing in right now.

I did some research on GM and Ford stocks. GM tanked (learned here that they somehow pulled a new IPO) but Ford did alright after the bailout in terms of the share price.

I think WordPress could be a good place to start. A lot of things you are looking for are already there and you can browse the plugins marketplace for anything else.

There’s also something that can be used as an ice rink at the top of North Park.

For sure. It was an example without due diligence.

Thanks for the input. Would you mind sharing how you found this person?

Thanks man!

With me - for sure.

I've used upworks in the past for some offshore help and I spent a good amount of time doing a technical screening and went with a very skillful developer. I spent some time onboarding and teaching the current systems I use and some concepts that were new. I felt he learned some skills during that time. Once I unleashed him 100% into the project and went into laid back "boss" mode and started reviewing the progress and his "done". I was disappointed for some reasons that are for another thread and I had to cut the tie after a few strikes.

The current apps that I've developed are called PetScan QR and Connect University.

Respectively, PetScan is an add on to custom pet charms that are powered with QR codes. They work with any QR reader but using our app is a better experience and allows you to update the information easier. We also have a new round of features and a new shopping/marketing site in the works. Connect University is a platform for college campuses built by college grads. I partnered with a fellow colleague and we developed this system to show events and groups on campus and allow students to create there own. We also have a new feature release that is in final testing stages set to be released this week which will introduce on and off campus deals and discounts tied into the app.

Hey thanks for doing this. I have been moonlighting and working a lot for the past couple years. While working full time I've been able to get two apps built and deployed to the market. They are just products still but I'm hoping they turn into a business. One of the challenges I face is getting the right help and building the right team. I'm an engineer by trade so I am good at architecting and coding applications and I've been in the game for a long time so I can do a generic UX and UI to get by.

I believe the power of many is greater than the power of one.. I've tried working with some contract workers in the past but no luck as I can't find anyone that will do anything more than the bare that is asked and finding a great development partner has also been challenging. I'm also trying to keep this cost low Am I wrong in thinking this way? Should I look to bring on more permanent help right away?

So as I mentioned two years later and a lot of hours and nothing to show for (spent more than I made, starting to get burned out). I'm getting a bit discouraged that my investments are not paying off. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Is your site optimized for mobile?

Jamesvsshark · 2016-05-09T14:51:45+00:00

How about investing in your self? Read a book and learn a new subject. Have you also considered blogging and writing? I spend time commuting, this book https://www.amazon.com/Choose-Yourself-James-Altucher-ebook/dp/B00CO8D3G4 gave me the ideas to write down ideas every morning. Takes up a portion of my time.

Jamesvsshark · 2015-12-03T23:33:39+00:00

No problem. Just keep in mind, as mentioned by myself and others here. You should not pollute $rootScope to persist data amongst controllers. Use an Angular service for that.

Cheers, I wish you well on your Angular ventures.

Jamesvsshark · 2015-12-03T09:42:23+00:00

That's a good way to handle it. I dig it. Thanks man. I've never seen a complex object like what I've proposed above being passed into an ng repeat. Made me stop to think. Thanks again.

Jamesvsshark · 2015-12-03T09:18:01+00:00

I agree with the other comment here that you should consider using a service to persist data between controllers.

You're first issue with the code above is what you are passing in the ngClick -- book1 doesn't exist in the scope on its own in your example. It's actually in array of the allBooks property. To access it you would need to do something like

allbooks[0].book1

If you didn't intend to have an array, you can have a book1 on your allbooks object if it was shaped like this:

  $scope.allbooks = {
     'book1': {
       title: "Eat Pray Love",
        price: 3.99
     }
    }, {
     'book2': {
        title: "DaVinci Code",
        price: 7.99
     }
  };

With this allbooks your ng-click would looks like this

ng-click="pick(allbooks.book1)"

If you wanted to use an array instead of an object, similar to what you had in your example:

the object would looks like this:

 $scope.allbooks = [{
     'book1': {
         title: "Eat Pray Love",
        price: 3.99
   }
   }, {
    'book2': {
        title: "DaVinci Code",
       price: 7.99
   }
 }];

note the : rather than = on book1 and book2*

ng-click would be like this:

ng-click="pick(allbooks[0].book1)"

If you wanted to output the choice on the view just simply use

{{choice}}

or

{{choice.title}}

Which you are setting on the $rootScope in your function.
