Yes, your words are quite encouraging. I'll give it a try and see how it goes.
I am not a people person and never been to that line (marketing, hiring) so it feels a bit different and new altogether. At some point, this has to be done, so why not now.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, we are not making any money right now and have nothing to lose.
We surely want to give it a try with the right person. The main point that we are still not sure about is what kind of questions we should ask him to make sure that he is a good fit for this. If this was a developer position, I would know how to evaluate him, but I have no idea about what it takes to be a good marketer. I guess we will need to let him try and then see how it goes.
I agree with your comments that detailed posts covering just one library and discussing about the specifics of why/why not the library is a good choice are much more interesting. But I think that lists of these kinds are useful as well, specially for someone who is just beginning their development as this lists some of the libraries that I think are useful for all kinds of applications. I have seen people writing code to perform things that are already accomplished by these libraries and maybe if they knew something like this exists, they wouldn't have to waste few good days on reprogramming the wheel.
P.S. I am the author of the post so I might be a bit biased on this.
