Looks great, I wanted to something similar, glad its here now :) But as most are saying, the horizontal view is not very user friendly!


LOL. Thanks a lot. Building the project the way you suggested would be great, but I have seen that managing outsource work is very difficult, and am not sure if I am good at that.

Also, in the process of building the project, I want to improve my skill sets. I do plan to do some part of works through freelancers.


Thanks! I though of that, but my team is in a state that if I plan to take leave, they'll hire someone immediately and they may not take me back later as my position will be filled. Its not a big company.

However, if I decide to quit for personal project, I will start with asking for leave or part time work. That was the plan. Quitting is kinda the last option.


This will be a free website and open for all, so targeting anyone specific is not possible. May be I can talk to friends/family and check whether it sounds like something they want to use.

Thanks for the suggestion!


yea, I should. Thanks!


Thanks a lot! These suggestions are really helpful, and am glad to get some specific direction! About validating my idea, I am not a person who follows the start up news a lot, so, I may be wrong, but is it okay to share a idea before building it? What if someone hears my idea and build it before I do? I am uncomfortable with this, or am I missing something here?

Thanks again :)


Everyone has ideas, actually it's very likely your idea already is being worked on or exists in some version. Successful companies are all about execution. Here are some articles that cover this question in detail: -http://cdixon.org/2009/08/22/why-you-shouldnt-keep-your-star... -http://blog.foundersguidebook.com/2013/02/why-you-should-sha... -http://www.natsturner.com/post/20257121566

If you are not comfortable sharing your idea online, I would advise to share it to potential customers, not friends and family. F&F are biased and will tend to give positive feedback. You need feedback from people that are willing to PAY or USE your product, complete strangers.
