We try to emulate people doing the smartest stuff and follow their lead. Jason Fried had for a long time preached to have a very open communication channel with your users, talk about what you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to ignore some of the feedback coming in because the stuff that’s really good or really, really important will always come to the top. That’s something we’ve taken into account. Also, we’ve tried to keep as cheap and lean an operation as possible, but that’s not an original idea. That’s something you should take seriously because it puts you in a much easier position in so many ways. Even if you can raise money, every time you raise money you lost three months pushing out paperwork and getting it to close. It’s a real loss. It keeps our focus different.
