Ask HN: Any political science majors out there?
I am noodling on an idea to make the data that people use to make voting decisions more transparent. Any pol sci majors out there willing to answer my questions/potentially collaborate on this?
I have been trying to find early adopters for my CRM lite tool (www.petworkslabs.com). I have been talking to local businesses, but mostly I have been cold emailing businesses and following up. After about 300 emails, my email has started getting marked as spam. I worry that if enough people mark my email address as spam, then my email account would become un-usable. I looked at email campaign tools like mailchimp etc, but their terms of usage states that I need permission from the email recipient before sending anything out. So question to the community, how do you keep prospecting via email, without getting your account marked as spam?
FWIW - I am personalizing each email and I am not sending out bulk emails.
I am currently looking for a UI designer to join me as a co founder. I am currently working on getting my small business CRM tool off the ground and I have coded up most of the server side (its using RoR) pieces of the mvp. But I need someone to do the front end of it. The ideal person would be someone who wants to break into the startup scene (just like me!), lives in new england and is proficient in html5, css, bootstrap/watch, responsive design etc. If interested, shoot me an email.
I have good experience with Java, Javascript, HTML and actionscript. I have dabbled in ruby,nodejs, scala, clojure, lisp and lots of other languages. I am going to start building out a new web application. I was thinking about building out the web application with a new language, so that I can get a deeper understanding of it. So what is the best language and framework for a java guy?
