making an impact

A few months ago, I was offerred the opportunity to join a startup as a cofounder. I asked a friend for advice and he asked me to define my motivations. They were:

debugging studio

#Organizational Questions: what is the best way to organize this information to ensure that people are helped as effectively as possible?

should we split the errors by windows/mac/linux, or by error type (listed in descending order of cases)?

Should their be entirely different guides for debugging Mac and Windows?

#Errors I know of

  1. app.db
  2. proxy/firewall

features I want:

  • automatic saving/editing. No going back and forth from edit to view

  • automatic saving

  • markdown by default

  • a better ui to view your gists

  • I don’t know how easy it would be to add a non-user facing side like the ability to share published gists, (beautifully)

things to do in sf
  • ice cream @ smitten
  • hike lands end
  • rent a bike and ride over the golden gate to saulsolito (grab a glass of wine at Barrel house)
  • if you're into coffee, fourbarrel and st. franks are my favorites, sightglass is gorgeous though
  • baker beach (if the weather's good-- i went swimming last weekend)
  • dolores park on the weekend is a blast
  • the japanese tea garden in golden gate park has free admission tuesday and thursday before 10 (i think)
  • 9th floor of the de young museum has an awesome observatory (and it's free!)
  • hiking up corona heights, then walking down into the haight is fun
  • exploratorium! (first thursdays of the month are adult nights)
Update:
The surface playground is complete, save for any bugs, additional UI changes or added functionality. It's gone through a few iterations and I'm pretty excited about its current state.
Right now, the current process for the playground is:
1. Enter a mapid or use an example
2. Edit the available parameters
