curious why you would need both your fork *and* the original author's repo pulled down locally. wouldn't having the two remotes within your fork suffice?

You touched on a lot of the same feelings I'm experiencing now. Thanks for the post, as well as motivating me to take the plunge with your manifesto about 2 years ago!

I like the fact that the logo is aligned right (as opposed to left), "getting out of the user's way" and making the app more accessible overall.

great insight. really enjoyed the read. there's definitely a stigma when it comes to launching a product REMOTELY similar to an competitor's. you've provided really great advice on how not only to cope, but to persist in this type of terrain.

i feel your pain. i encountered a similar experience myself with a potential co-founder. it sucks, but atleast you got it over with, you're wiser for the misfortune...it's important to remember that

The "it's not a sprint, it's a marathon" mantra comes to mind after reading this post...and I couldn't agree more. Entrepreneurship is about endurance. How else are you going to survive that 'overnight success' that really took 2 or 3 years ;)

Awesome...great work guys! NYC Tech FTW! I'll be watching ;)

Re: Technical Co-founders Are Overrated

pruett — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 22:19:58 -0000

awesome...couldn't agree more. you really do need to understand all aspects of your business on at least some intermediate (if not expert) level. i think there is a population of non-technical founders who tend to take the technical side for granted, thinking that they can get any code monkey to hack away some lines of code....

DO NOT BE THAT GUY, it is almost surely a recipe for disaster

Re: Competition is overrated

really great topic....glad you brought this up. it's so often that you hear an entrepreneur talking about an idea and someone will ALWAYS say there's already an app for that (or some variation of said phrase). and many times that's all it takes to stop the entrepreneur dead in his/her tracks.

it's a really interesting dilemma that most entrepreneurs face, especially in web startups.

awesome post, straight to the point. i really like the black and white distinction and possible over-simplification when analyzing humankind. i've done it over here (just so happens we used the same title) : http://kevinpruett.com/the-...

nate...thanks for the comment! first saw you with anyclip and have been following your success with ohours, nytm, etc.

i was able to find a part time dev that helped me build out this prototype while i did the design, ui, ux, features, functions, elements, etc. while this has proven somewhat successful in launching a demo product, i am still looking for a local (NYC-based) dev who I can work alongside when we build out the product.

by the way nate, would love to meetup via ohours and i'm itching to get started on "The "HoPE Manifesto". NoPE no longer!

for me fred, it was a matter of getting re-connected with the NYC startup scene. so i curated my list of followers accordingly and started to engage the community as best i could. very simply i think twitter is the best and easiest facilitator of engagement (however superficial or fleeting that engagement may be)

Wow, SAME HERE. Only recently have I jumped back on the Twitter bandwagon. I was so close to calling it quits and writing it off as a waste of time that I soon began finding A TON of value in Twitter (once again!). I'm connected once again!
