Ask HN: How do you know the problem you're solving matters to people?
My question is though, how do you know if the problem/solution you're working actually matters to people? Is there any kind of validation system that's worked for you?

When reading about or researching smartphones, you can check out text based reviews on Tech news websites e.g The Verge, GSMArena etc or search YouTube to watch videos. We're trying to bring these together into one place with our site, ComparePhones (http://www.comparephones.net/).
How can we improve our site? We'd love to know what we need to do make the site as useful as the aforementioned sites. Feel free to comment here or complete our quick survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZCCMCMV
Thanks Alex
Has anyone used a PR firm for their startup? If you have, would you recommend it?
I am launching an app soon and I am considering placing an explainer video on the app's website homepage.
My question is two fold; what makes a good explainer video? (and also is it still relevent?)
From memory, I remember lots of startups using them a couple of years back however now it appears the background image with explainer text/grahpic is preferred.
I'm releasing an app in a couple of weeks if all goes to plan. My question is, how important is the icon/logo? Should one hire a professional designer for this? Do you sketch out your idea first and then take it to a pro?
It's interesting to look back; it appears most startups make do with anything (e.e Sergey Brin's Google logo with GIMP) but it seems more and more are very polished.
