Always remember to not rely solely on a rockstar launch to determine the course of your product. Platform like producthunt, betalist could be miss or hit... and most of the times the kind of traffic you get may contribute to wrong signals.

mca.gov.in for India. You can find things like directors, annual filings, financial statements etc.

JavaScript. I know this could be a little controversial but with more and more people learning JavaScript and porting of tensor flow,torch into javascript, I believe this is the language which will take data science to masses of developers.

React Native. It's great to go for simple to medium complexity apps. Flutter could be another closer choice because it appears to be more Dev friendly and android's ownership of Google. React will help you share large amount of code and concepts within web, iOS and android.

A secondary wide monitor (Acer).Having dual monitor setup definitely multiplies productivity. You can go with any brand but make sure it's atleast 24" plus and Full HD.

Windows operating system. I mean so many people are using that since a long time. Still its performance is too glitchy and slow.

Hey HN, presenting UnderExpress - A completely free UI Kit, based on bootstrap 4 for people who want to create beautiful websites quickly. It also comes with 8 ready-made templates. Please give your valuable feedback.

Hello everyone,

I made underexpress to help people make beautiful websites quickly at lower costs. UE is a responsive website kit, with 8 sample pages and over 100+ components. You can get components for almost every case you can imagine. The kit is based on Bootstrap 4 and comes with SASS which makes it easy to customize. Please help me with feedback and suggestions on how can i improve this and take this forward. Thanks in advance!

Online money making is not easy and you'll have to consistently search for new ideas and skills. Here is my list: 1)Writing blogs/content: search for blogs in your interest area and offer them ideas and content, having a good Quora profile or personal blog will reflect quality. 2)Search for "who is hiring" in HN and other related forums and directly mail them if that work can be done remotely at discounted cost. 3) Dropshiiping: Learn digital marketing. Explore Shopify, AliExpress, oberlo and printful. Dropping is not easy but a has a lot of potential if you can get repeat customers and a general intelligence towards digital marketing. 4) Explore indiehackers.com and see how people like us are cracking this stuff.

Incase you need help in getting resources for these do let me know.

Your ARR per annum per customer is upto $100k, trust me this is not going to be an easy sales to make, your sales cycles will be longer and will be challenging for even professional sales people. Given these conditions the credentials for the gentleman doesn't look up to mark and you should see more people, go to LinkedIn find seasoned sales people and engage them on target/comission basis before offering something as permanent amd valuable as equity.

I am loving how easy electron has made for developers to create native desktop apps. Gone are the days when js/frontend developers would have to rely on someone to write java/c# apps for them. More power to the ecosystem.

Eat less meat.

Meat production uses more resources (land, water, energy) than plant based food production. It also contributes to global warming, as well as other kinds of environmental pollution.

While UI/UX is more of a field where you get better by practice and observation, yet these books can surely help you build a solid foundation.

Four friends exchange goods between each other and keep a book of records for every transaction. The person who keeps that book can easily alter transactions to his favour, but if everyone keeps one copy of transactions record it becomes difficult to cheat unless more than 50% people cheat. The distributed record of transactions/ledger us known as block chain.

I created one myself as a side project [https://underexpress.com] and learned following things:

- How do you manage the updates in your ui-kit if base framework is changed [bootstrap, foundation, jquery, other plugins.]

- Modularity: If i need only a few components i should have the option to include only those and not any unnecessary bloat.

- Availability as package [npm etc.]

- Example apps and landing pages. Some UI kits give email ui, todo list ui etc.

- The kit should be lightweight + clean css [sass/less] + clean html.

- Browser compatibility.

- Easy customization.

If you are looking to develop something collaboratively I would be willing to participate.

I hope this helps you.

Congratulations on shipping. I would like to know: - do you have informed journalists about this? - chances of getting reply back from journalists. - will you keep adding, rotating contacts or will the lists be fixed?

As a suggestion you can include links to some general resources like how to write proper mails to journalists etc.

Awesome, I wish you get most sign ups today than ever before. Best of luck.

Superb write-up Andrew, I would recommend you to read this awesome book called Traction, it has definitive ways to market any digital product. Would love to read more about your journey as you progress, keep us posted.

If you are a small business owner and want to do paid promotion.Please not spend on likes, and boosting posts also doesn't help much. Create ads with very specific targeting and take users to your landing page and try to catch them again with retargeting. This will help you reach better audience and let you calculate definitive ROIs.

Made my day :) thanks.

Hey, thanks for you time. Hustler is often referred for Go-getter entrepreneurs and personalities. I completely understand that its real meaning is profane for most of the audiences as I can see from comments and feedback. I had already changed the communication on my webpage, will surely change it in my next ShowHN for a newer version of underexpress. This is mostly directed towards web-developers/small tech entrepreneurs/app makers, who want a landing page sort of website, so focus is more on giving them something to ship quickly and not showing code [which is also available once you download]. I am working on a established license, will soon update it, for the time being I had placed a link to license in the footer.

Thanks again. I used hustler for a person with get it done attitude. But as I figured out right now, its more of a profane word,so changing the communication to Go-Getters :D

Hey, this is just the starting, I am confident enough that this will turn into a good quality kit through the feedback and iterations. Thanks for your time.

I just checked and corrected it, would you mind downloading again through the same link please.

Thanks for taking out time to review this, this means a lot for me. 1) There are many UI kits, but most of the good ones are paid or are only available in psd/sketch previews. This one is completely ready to use + free + fresh designs. 2) I am planning to create more resources to this in future, like more landing pages, more ui components, DIY website maker and I also want you to know that paid support is available [upsell], so email would be a point of contact. [I will soon build an unsubscribe option too] 3) Yes, this is on my plan, would update here as well when i do this. 4) From my understanding, hustler means the go-getter, this theme is made for people who want to get the work done quickly, the theme is in ready to deploy html mode and comes with 8 templates to help people focus on right problems.

Thanks again, this is my first ship on HN, and is working just great coz of people like you. Thank you :)

Included a license, thanks for pointing out.

Just made a tweak, would you mind rechecking and sharing feedback.

Oh My Bad, corrected! Thanks for reporting.

Added right now. Thanks Mate. https://underexpress.com/welcome/license

Thanks for this. Just added a license link to the footer, will update to MIT once I go through it. Did you like the kit?
