My favorite (and their website for that matter):

Twitter, Robotcat Apps (Outside Weather App), TeaApp, and despite their situation, AirBnB, all come to mind. Any others?

I understand that startups are being offered lots of money, but they said it was on really good terms. Can anyone explain the terms?

I am curious where linear algebra has applications to web software engineering.

I have two hn accounts. I'd like to close one, and change the username on the other. Are either of those things possible? Can anyone from HN answer this?

Hey guys.. coming to palo alto for the Launch conference. I will be busy with that Wed and Thursday, but Friday I have free. I wanted to see if there are any hackers here that could show me around? I would love to visit hacker house, meet some of the cool startups and young entrepreneurs like myself building web startups, founders den, and anywhere else that will take us!

How do you guys go about getting initial traction for your product? How many users do you usually get when doing so (if you post on Hn, for example). I'm finding this is the barrier to moving forward after building a good product.

I thought we could use this post to each discuss different methods for bringing in users initially without spending much if any money, and doing so in an ethical way.

Ideas such as contests, twitter, etc. What have you guys done? and What is a good # of users to start with to get over the "chicken or egg" hump?

I am looking for a startup blog that covers startups in the medical field (web startups and biotech). Does anyone know of any?

Hey HN, I noticed a post recently about a TC competitor, and well I've been planning to work on a startup focused blog as well, mainly because TC covers mainstream news and bigger companies. I would like to focus on startups solely, but since there are some already out there, and the one mentioned in the other post, I have been trying to think of a twist. I wanted to get some feedback and see if you guys would be interested.

I had been wanting to do this mainly to improve my writing (since Im knee deep in this daily anyways) but its clear it will benefit a lot of others. Some topics I've considered, maybe include lean methods in each post, so you can see how successful startups have applied real learning techniques to improve their products, or for some of the cool startups out there (think, hipmunk, mint, mixpanel, forrst etc.) do an interview to discuss their basic stack and tech journey. I think it'd be a gem. In any case, if I start another TC alernative, are there any startups that would appreciate something more focused on niche startup topics, or startup news? I would love to hear from startups. I've started writing about a few cool startups already and would love to hear from more.

any thoughts are appreciated and as always feel free to get in touch.

Is anyone working on an MVP they want to share/get feedback on? I'm reading a lot about lean startup methodologies and would love to see a few.

I was wondering if there were any hackers in ft worth that might be interested in starting a coworking space-- nothing big. I'm thinking maybe we can use a room at a library or find an area that would be suitable to bring laptops etc.

I know there's one in dallas, but thought it would be nice to set one up around ft. worth/nrh area.
