Thanks for the feedback. We are going after the SF market, but there is already competition. As far as pricing model is concerned we would do that on the no of pages one generates. Do you think developers are not the right market? Can we offer it to developers in some form?

It does print the web page. But when it comes to print-friendly reports and quotes you need some library or print ready web page. So we allow developers to create a template that is print ready. And then using an API call they can merge data and generate PDF.

Quantity vs Quality 13 years ago

I would say its practice than quantity that gets you to perfection. Producing quantity without learning through that process won't get you to that quality or perfection.

Tutorials are good for beginners, but with experience a developer should be able to follow the annotated (auto- generated) documentation.

I use ruby, and for many gems there are no real tutorials, except for a short introduction on their usage. And I think even then it is pretty easy to follow the annotated-docs.

The website looks really old style and average.

The menu containing Web marketing, Web designing and so on, needs to modified. Probably a smaller and better font would do the job.

And most importantly the icons for design and development, web management and everything do not follow any theme. They all seem to portray a different theme for the icons. Probably changing them would be a good a option.

Lastly the about section also needs a lighter font color and different font size.

I think using Google forms is a much better way to do it. No signups, no pricing, and most importantly if my website is static why would I want to add forms to it.

One more thing the process is far too complex for a person with just a static website.

I think geeks are more inclined towards a simple interface, more like what hacker news and free node provide. But geeklist is more like facebook with with all those useless stuff like gamification, high fives etc.

In my opinion even a platform with only REST API would be more tempting for geeks rather than geeklist.

I wanted to know this too. I recently contacted Wells Fargo, and they said it would be 12$ per month for a basic business account. Please do suggest what options are there for non-us residents to open up a bank account with minimum charges possible.

I think having strong programming foundations is very important. And learning any one language C++ or JAVA is enough to do it. Once you have strong foundations, then you should learn languages that you want to use to develop something. Otherwise I think learning for the sake of learning is useless.
