I recently became a manager for a custom software development agency. I have the opportunity to lead our operations initiatives and become the director of operations. We have a lot that we need to improve upon operationally.

I have a lot of ideas and thoughts about how we can improve our software development process, project management, and project scheduling, but I would be curious to hear from other people with experience operating a software development agency.

What is your best advice for a Director of Operations at a software development agency? Are there any good articles/books about operating a software development agency that would be worth reading?

I want to get better at marketing my side projects when I finish them so more people can use them. For example, I built Hacky, a free iOS Hacker News app, and I'd love to get it in front of more people.

Outside of posting on HN, Indie Hackers, Reddit, or paying for Ads, I'm not sure where to get started on marketing.

What are your best tips or resources when it comes to marketing? How did you learn how to market?

I created a Hacker News iOS app using the Hacker News API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API). I'd really like to add login, commenting, upvoting, etc. but I haven't found any great documentation. Is there any resource or project available that outlines the undocumented endpoints of the Hacker News API?
