You would be amazed at the types of software large companies pay for >$100k a year to solve narrow business problems.

This happened to me and was incredibly frustrating. Figured I was just a moron, but perhaps not.

Got any data to back that up? My anecdotal understanding was that HotelTonight was doing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Some component of that $130m may have been secondary stock sale. I …

"would make it possible for teachers, waiters, bus drivers, waiters, grocery cashiers to live affordably in the city." Plus a broader tax base vs relying on Prop 13 property taxes.

Hey shpigford - curious how you made a living during this time? Was it via these apps/projects/businesses? Freelancing? Day job? And kudos again. Great list.

On submission of my email it redirected me to an error page. Can't remember what it said, only that it was an unstyled html page with one line of error text. Just tried again and works now.

I'd pay a designer for retainer. We have a designer we work with at the moment who is great and I have ongoing needs. Woudl be easier to send bits and pieces as we need them instead of batching.
