Love this idea! Have felt the problem myself and have seen my mother/MIL/wife struggle with the same thing.

It's clear that you both have extensive experience in the space, too.

How can I help / get involved? :-)


Spread the word, www.sequincard.com!


https://knife.ai, which is an email analytics tool.

I'm proud of it because it's something I've always wanted to use and create.


It's possible the prices will fall. Food is a commodity and commodities want to be cheap. Drones, robots, delivery systems, etc. How much of the current cost is labor that will be replaced by software?


I live in Baltimore (after NYC, SF, Boston). Love it here. Downvoted your comment because it is uninformed and adds nothing of value.


Anyone else find it ironic that this article has Adsense / Doubleclick ads on it?


If the internet is becoming democratic, what explains the increasing number of new, massive and independent internet businesses?


VC's funding $$ hoping that they will be bought by said monopolies in < 5 years?


Congrats Justin!


Sorry to hear this. What were the properties? What was the full reason for the closure?


They didn't give any reason for closure. Simply "invalid activity". The site is PrizeGrab.com


Interesting. Did you eventually get the account re-instated? Seems odd they'd close it without a warning. Did they disable the sites or the entire account?


pretty awesome accomplishment. are your users in india as well? how are you monetizing?


Most of our users are in US, UK and Europe. We monetize via In App Purchases (IAPs) and Ads. On average we monetize close to industry standards, 2% of people pay for hints, powerups and other IAPs, while ads give a decent $2 eCPM ($2 for 1000 impressions)


Thanks for sharing ! I'm getting started on Android app development, and those are very encouraging numbers (and thanks for sharing your app link to have an idea of what you're building).

I think I'll try my hand at some games targeted for the local audience first (I live in Uruguay, South America, I have some ideas which can be tested for the larger Argentinean and Brazilian markets) and see how it goes :) .

My goal is to make U$ 400/month in recurring revenue by year's end.


what is the most profitable platform ? iOS?


We have had similar success on all 3 platforms, as it is easier to stand out on Amazon, Google play drives a lot of downloads, and Apple monetizes very well. For us, it is almost 34-33-33 in terms of revenue breakup.


How are OS limits/configs (such as open file limits, connection limits, etc.) handled? Can these be specified in the web panel?
