Ask HN: What tools helps you try new tech business ideas quickly?
I think trying a lot of different ideas is probably single most important factor in stumbling on success in business as long as execution does not take lot of time/money/effort.
When you are not building something to scale but simply to test your assumptions and market the choice of tools could be very different.
What are the best tools/languages/platforms/techniques to try new ideas quickly? I am open to any and all ideas out there. You can launch the front end on github pages for free, and it's very quick to deploy. You can launch a backend on heroku or appharbor. You can capture email addresses (i.e. lead capture) for free using javascript and google sheets.
