Are you very young (< 35)? If so, then I recommend talking to older people around you and hearing about their life experiences. I've found that the "fear of missing out" as a youth is assuaged when talking to folks whose most amazing life experiences occurred when they were easily twice my current age (puts a lot of things in perspective).
Also try this experiment: on one occasion, actively pursue an opportunity "overheard with friends" - when that activity is complete, recount the entire experience and decide if there was truly something you could have lived without. On another occasion, actively turn down such an opportunity and pursue something in the meantime. If you can do this once, do it again, and you'll start to learn to balance the pursuit of such opportunities and likewise a restraint. As motivation: If you don't turn down an opportunity then you are missing out on this experiment!
You should leave now and not look back. Chances are there will be even more delays forthcoming and since the dev team has shown a willingness to work nights/weekends that trend will continue, but with more earnest once paying customer are on board.
A great comment (which I'd upvote more than once if able). There are many underpinning problems that lead to business inefficiencies - none of which are solved by choosing to hire remote vs. local (or by "using the right tool", which is another decision folks make to try and put out management fires). If you have "human problems" you need to solve them the hard way; or as was said: there is no silver bullet.
Sorry! Ironically (since we're using Google's Golang) Android has been the hardest platform for us to finish. We've got Mac, iOS, Linux, and Windows now, and are running Android internally but it's not release ready yet. Should have it within a few weeks. It is likely to require a newish Android version though. Thanks for taking a look!

I did the similar thing but with nodejs to collect and process the events and Postgresql JSONB for storing the events .... i see the advantage on this approach is that i dont need to do much for structuring the data in node as i am just dumping this unstructured data directly into JSONB column , but i believe in your case you are structuring it first in Django and then storing it in hstore ..
I totally agree with you about the Visualisation .. thats the hard part .. in my case i have totally unstructured events but still i managed to use a simple node app to give me the data back by querying JSONB .. was it easy to query HSTORE??
on this - the best thing you can do with your time is talking to your customers and writing down what they say about your product. Then, use those exact words in your content; in essence have your customers write your content for you. If you are really pressed for time, just pay a copywriter to write your content but definitely give them a copy of your customer's words.
This could work on a certain level/like front page, AdWords, FB Ads/, though I don't really know how can I trick my customer to write a blog post for me or an article that will be published in a magazine/blog.
Willing To Relocate: No, but depending on the length/scope of the project I am absolutely open to traveling anywhere in the U.S. to meet with you periodically throughout our engagement.
Looking For: Web application development/redevelopment, growth hacking, custom development targeting specific business problems
After working for a small consultancy for some time now, and providing significant contributions to large projects for highly recognizable national brands, I'm seeking more flexibility and am launching out on my own. I'm good at what I do - developing web applications from the ground up and redesigning existing applications to increase revenue - but as I'm making this new move I'm looking for a client who can go out on a limb and trust in my experience even though I don't yet have client work under my own name to showcase.
Obviously, I would absolutely be interested in working for you at a significant discount if you'd be willing to allow me to use our collaboration as a public case-study that I'd be able to reference with my future clients.
I am not interested in building an application for the sake of building an application or coding in XYZ technologies for the sake of coding in XYZ technologies.
I am interested in having a conversation about you, your customers, and what particular business problems you are trying to solve.
