Please don't use caps lock in your title to get your title noticed more. Thanks.

You found one!

I live in Jerusalem, and I am also a web developer

I think the reason for the difference is this one was so simple. From the title, I knew what it was going to be. With yours it was a little over complicated. From the title of HN post, to the website

none. I tried learning cake once, but just thought it would be easier to just do straight up PHP. I know I'm wrong but, I guess I was just trying to get immediate gratification

You're not wrong, they're just trying to make you believe that.

Well all my ideas are web apps...

Q. Are the tools that you know good enough to at least prototype your ideas?

I mean yes you can learn languages that are heavy duty like java — but so many things are done in PHP if you already know that...

Why move on from web development?

And I know both c++ and java. But all my ideas are all web apps, I can't think of anything for desktop development.

Anything you are developing for the web can be developed for the desktop.

First you say Israel doesn't rightfully own the west bank, and then you say Israel should give all west bank Arab residents citizenship?

You'r contradicting yourself.

No, I am saying that Israel runs a two tiered system of rights in the West Bank, one for Jewish Israeli settlers and one for the non-Jewish Palestinian Arabs. I believe it is wrong. Do you feel it is justified?

lol if you believe any of this.

for testing, someone invite me to a hive so we can mess around and test.

Yes, 100%

A startup can't generate revenue or even continue, without the spread of word of mouth, which is a BIG way to get new customers.

I've been there when you don't have a business card and it does 2 things:

    - You look really unprofessional

    - That's one person that will never remember you again.

I would advise vistaprint.com, they give 250 free business cards, you just have to pay shipping. Here's the link: vistaprint.com/thankspandora

I agree with the sentiment about business cards 100%. You need them, so get them.

Do NOT get VistaPrint. The free cards they have stick their logo on the back side. Go to OvernightPrints.com and you can get a better set for very little money. I have tested out every single online printer in depth over the years and they have the best business card offer for the money.

@YoungEnt - where did you get that affiliate link? ;)
