The ways to keep this startup moving
I’ve read so many articles about how to start. Even about bootstrapping while you still have your day job. But none of them provided me with basic information - where the f*ck should I get the time to code this great thing? These are things we tried or we are still doing.

Boys and girls, life is strange. Two days ago we found out that we might end up as a direct competition with our friends sitting in office next to us.

Hello, world!
I’ve been thinking about creating a blog for some time. A blog where I could write down some observations from my new adventure. By that I meant building the web startup. Far away from the wonderful world of TechCrunch, in Prague.
I needed some push to start it and that happened to be the Geeks On a Plane event in Prague. Event itself left some mixed feelings here, but I must say that I...
