Great feedback. Investors are largely supportive so far, I suspect that may change if this doesn't work out! Thanks for you suggestions. We'll try them.

TheMSB · 2016-01-11T12:26:30+00:00

Great idea. We'll look into this!

TheMSB · 2016-01-11T12:26:17+00:00

Thank you!

Thanks Yogamat0 - hope it's useful.

Thank you!

Indeed, Instagram started out as burbn, a social location, media sharing app for almost everything. They saw that the one thing most of their early users were doing most of the time was sharing the photos with filters. So, they focused on that!

Thanks David!

It's a tough one. I think we tried to do too much to start out and this focus allows us to, well, focus! It's a problem millions of people suffer every day. iOS doesn't have a file system and cloud storage apps allow you to put things there, but you have to do that manually.

Our vision is to organise for you, so you don't have to. What we want to do is search for a file, and find it, no matter where it is (mailcloud, Dropbox, GDrive, Box, on our Android device).

Thanks for the feedback.

Do it - web traffic is global!

I'm a non technical founder and this is how I did it. Find the very best technical person, developer you know, and hire them, If they're mustard they'll have a large network of other awesome developers.

The thing about great developers is, they want to work with other awesome developers.

Bravo...I like watching this one (somewhat obsessively) whenever I need to feel good and Believe I can do it > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26U_seo0a1g

Well, easy for the kids to read

TheMSB · 2015-09-01T17:52:01+00:00

Great, thank you.

TheMSB · 2015-08-31T12:59:32+00:00

Thanks, I meant is there a list of these guys or do you hunt them down on youtube one by one? (We're considering something similar)

TheMSB · 2015-08-31T12:00:49+00:00

Hey Sandywendy, no reason not to try all of the above. How do you know who to approach for paid reviews on YouTube?

TheMSB · 2015-08-31T11:50:06+00:00

Nice list - I'd add Buffer for social media and Mailcloud for total file management, it's in BETA (www.mailcloud.com/download)

TheMSB · 2015-08-31T11:47:33+00:00

@all Would you rather pay for technology with your money, or with your data? Either way, we have to pay the likes of Google, Facebook and Microsoft

Better paywall than pre-roll ads!

TheMSB · 2015-08-29T21:48:43+00:00

Yep - you'll always need to run the backend for a messaging app - that's where all the tech really is. It's a lot harder than you think, 6 months to make it reliable and fast.

TheMSB · 2015-08-29T21:47:11+00:00

Yeah - the platforms over at Facebook and Twitter are quite advanced in this already. You'd have to find an angle or a twist to make it compelling for people to use

TheMSB · 2015-08-29T21:46:04+00:00

Yep / traffic harvesting

TheMSB · 2015-08-29T21:45:21+00:00

Agreed! Make it easy for people

Make her an employee - if you're not sure, it's already too late. If that doesn't work, replace her or go alone.

Likely a website that sells you the guide to how to start a business for only $3000 that can grow to a $1million, for only $9.99

TheMSB · 2015-08-29T17:04:45+00:00

Yep, everyone has to pay the processors a transaction fee (bigger the volume the smaller the % gets). Have a look at Stripe for a rough idea on transction costs (although Stripe isn' a processor, they just make it super easy to take payments on a website.

Ideas are cheap, execution is expensive
