I've got a Mac Pro hooked up to two 23" Apple Cinema displays. I've normally got XCode open on one screen, and Visual Studio on the other.


Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is what really matters


That's right. An idea can be executed in a million different ways. There is a substantial difference between copying an idea and copying execution.


Those are points that I definitely thought about and I am trying to see if there really is a market for this. The more I see it though, as you pointed out, is that it might not be successful on a large scale (yet) but perhaps will find success in a niche market


I agree, and that's part of the problem I think I'm trying to solve :)

Some of the things I'm throwing around with my buddy is possibly having an mobile app as an endpoint so that email addresses don't have to be given up at the register. However, I believe in trying keep simplicity as a priority.


There is absolutely a demand for it, though. Especially with small business owners. I know a couple that have asked if something like it existed because come tax time, sorting the large number of receipts to either do yourself or hand off to someone else is difficult. Or if they choose not to do it, their tax people have charged extra for having to sort it all out. an email system would probably allow for better sorting too, I'd imagine.


Thanks for the feedback! I actually didn't think about international markets, where as you pointed out, there could be more potential due to certain lifestyle differences.


Congrats to Drew and the team! Dropbox is really a fantastic product.


So true...I've been publishing apps on the iOS app store for the last 3 years and get an hour of sleep during development. But once the app is live and earning money, I can rest easy and sleep 8-9 hours a night. Over a span of 5 years, it basically averages out to about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, which seems normal.
