I just finished a dice game for iOS called Tripps (also known as 3s). The point is to score less than your opponent and 3s count as zero points. My friends and I often played this at parties so I decided to turn it into an app.

I created this EasyPromoCodes.com based on a question that I had asked on HN a few months ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4375707).

I was looking for a site that would let me turn my iOS app promo codes into business cards to hand out at trade shows or other industry events.

After unsuccessfully looking for a similar service for some time I decided to build this site.

The site is built using the Moo.com API, PHP, Bootstrap, a Bootswatch theme, and the Google URL shortener.

Any suggestions or feedback you have would be welcome. I hope that this is useful to some of the other iOS developers out there.


I like this concept. I tried to signup to give it a try with my iPad app iJuror but it looks like the App Search only looks for iPhone or Universal apps. Is there another way to go about adding an iPad only app?


just added ipad support!


Great, thank you. Best of luck with this venture.


Thanks for the response - your advice is greatly appreciated. Do you notice that customers are more inclined to choose the in person, webinar, or prerecord option? Or is it usually different on a case by case basis?


I don't have nearly enough data to give you any confidence in that answer -- all my enterprise sales are essentially one-offs, still.


I think my company's opinion is sort of as follows:

1) In person for train the trainer, or significant demand in any one location

2) Webinar for cross-geo. We might have 2 sessions in order to hit reasonable hours

3) Videos for short training sessions on demand for users (think ~30m-60m that you have to give to 700 people)


Perhaps - thanks for the suggestion.


I felt exactly the same way. If I don't find a service I may create one because I think many iOS devs would find this helpful.


I've been looking for a forum such as this to use in my own apps. I get a good deal of feature requests for my iJuror iPad app and this seems to be a good way to determine which feature requests are the most desired versus the current approach of listening to the loudest/most persistent voice.

I've always liked how Dropbox has their Votebox page and this is something I look forward to using in my apps. Well done.


I made a juror selection app for the iPad that generates about $1K / month

Longer commute? More time consuming 'fun'?


I'm just about to hit 30 and taking more entrepreneurial risks. I feel like the knowledge I've gained in the business world is immensely helpful.

In general, it seems that the older you get, the opportunity costs for risks increase. Not just monetarily speaking but also other things you may have to cut back on - family, friends, etc.


i'm in the same boat and struggling with the same issues. on the verge of 30 it becomes more of a game of weighing the pros and cons.

does this startup idea have enough potential that it's worth leaving my full time job? and if so, how am i going to keep paying these damn student loans? etc.


True but think about when you turn 40, how are you going to feel about the work you did during the most productive years of your life ?

Your remember that 30th birthday. I bet turning 40 is going to be much much worse.
