I would love to see more "one year later" type pieces from other YC startups, I'm sure theres a wealth of useful information in the direct experience of startup founders.
It wasn't my intention to make that seem literal; I am still very much committed to working on and improving the site. I was merely speaking to a sentiment that I feel many developers experience as time goes by.
Well said. The world is full of shiny new things to play with, as well as consulting clients who pay real money right now. It's tough to stay focused in the face of all that.
But it's a game of inches. Every little bit of polish will get you a little closer to where you want to be. Every one of those annoying edge case bugs you squash gains you another inch. Sure, it doesn't seem like you're moving fast like you were a year ago (it certainly doesn't for me), but you're moving.
Hope ticketstumbler works out in the long term; if it doesn't or if you have a successful exit, looks like you could consider the PG route of becoming a writer.
The problem with that is most tickets won't get to you that day unless you pick them up, and most sites stop selling them a ways before the event just to avoid issues where you don't receive them. Maybe "Where can I go this weekend for $X"?
No problem and the they are getting better with this. Stubhub and some of the other providers offer etickets (they email you the tickets). Stubhub also has something called Last Minute Services where you can pick up the tickets up until game time. Unfortunately, they don't do this for most events.
