Filter by C# tag fails!

Why do all new sites fail at this? Is # a stopword in your basic search functionality?

Why create a brand new account for a comment that doesn't make a lot of sense?

If it makes you feel better csharp, I can tell you that there are very few C# topics thus far!

What percentage of your motivation for writing this post was a desire to talk about making products for coders in general and what percentage was wanting people to check out your site?

Be honest :)

Those two goals aren't incompatible, right?

The title may be a joke but the blog post is very sincere.

Why is it necessary to break the motivation into percentages? Who cares! He's got an interesting product, and wrote about it in a blog post.

If I were answering, I'd say I was 100% motivated to talk about making a product for coders, and 100% motivated to get people to check out the site.

I have yet to pass the willing-to-pay barrier, but my experience launching Cursive has really echoed his first two points. Developers really appreciate attention to detail in a product and my experience working with the beta testers has been that most of them are willing to spend a lot of time helping find and fix bugs and are generally a really friendly and accommodating bunch. Plus I'm scratching my own itch all day - it doesn't get better than that.
