Day 9: Resting, Testing, Listing

My work schedule has been quite relaxed of late, which has given me plenty of time and energy to work on my poker app. Nevertheless, I'm taking a break from any active development today. I'll still spend an hour or so "dogfooding", as the mangled phrase goes, by playing Full Tilt Poker with my app running.

Here's what I have to achieve before launch on June 30th:

  • buy, borrow, create, or steal a logo
  • create a website
  • arrange web hosting
  • integrate with a payment processor (probably FastSpring)
  • create a registration system. Any recommendations for a third party solution that is cross-platform and works with Java apps?
  • systematic testing
Update: change of plan. Instead of testing I'm heading to a local mexican bar to watch the Euro 2008 soccer with some friends. When in Rome...

Enjoy the bar :)

What do you mean by "Probably Fastspring"? I thought Plimus was the poster child of the Micro ISV's (I have a small product selling with them).

What do FastSpring do that Plimus do not?

(My interest: I'm also looking for a semi-permanent reseller)

Mike,

I posted a question on the Joel's "Business of Software" forum for recommendations. FastSpring was the top suggestion. A quick look suggests it offers everything I needed. I never compared them to Plimus.

@Mike, if you have not yet found a solution, you can look at http://www.e-junkie.com/. Compared to Plimus, it's more DIY, easier to use and you have more control over the process.
