My wife built https://www.jummbo.ai but she doesn't have an HN account so I'll share for her. Jummbo takes the "umm" out of prospecting in B2B sales. It makes it really quick to find and prospect new customer

TLDR; We want to get free users to move to paid plans sooner, by (a) relaxing sharing limits, and (b) reducing the amount of pages you can create to 3 unless you upgrade. Existing work created prior to 21 April will be unaffected.

I taught myself to code, started in 2010 after 10 years in IT infra/networking. I’m not a professional developer and it’s a hobby for me - I did a humanities degree with no comp/sci background. Initially I built a simple crud app

I started doing an MBA at a top Australian university. I won the top student award in digital marketing. I found that I was spending most of my time carrying other students rather than actually learning something beyond what I could read in

Agree, but my needs are simple and I develop using expo.io. So once my app is published often minor changes can be pushed straight through to my app without App Store approvals. So it would be $26 per upload (ouch), but my “upload” may only

My needs are simple enough that the standard inclusions in expo.io work without complication. I could imagine more complex apps need a more involved dev setup but not in my case.

Expo.io is good enough for my needs. Cross platform, just run it on my iPhone and and android simulator. Also, the way expo works is that not all updates need to go through the App Store approvals. I can quickly dev/test/release o

expo build:ios actually. My only need for a Mac with expo is for the upload. The apk file is taken care of with the command above. I have an iPhone I use for development and testing. Bonus points is that expo is cross platform, so I can pub

I’m always developing without xcode. Using expo I can write apps in react native on my desktop and vscode. Mac only required for the upload to the App Store.

Interesting. The deciding factor for our family when buying a Mac or Windows 10 device for my wife’s small business was actually my need to upload iOS apps for review by apple. I’m an after hours hobby developer, and use a windows desktop.

I really admire Google, but they have become notorious for their “fast fail” mentality and product sun setting. No matter how good this may be I don’t trust google to not close this down or make major modifications that could cause issues i

Read the “challenger sale” book. I’m 20 years in tech sales and it’s easily the best way to get started. Also - sales is 1:1 conversations. Marketing is 1:many. That’s the easiest way to figure out the difference between the two.

The job title “account manager” says it all. That is a 100% sales role. So don’t expect deep technical expertise. Any assistance rendered will be to grow the vendor footprint.

Put on an old James Bond movie from the 60s and let my mind slow down a bit once I’ve done all my family and household duties. Or fire up flight simulator 2020, which has just been released and explore some amazing place from the air.

This is interesting - I couldn’t determine how they train them system to recognise all the products though. Flavour variants, special promotional packaging etc make training hard due to the sheer size of images that need to be in a training

For a simple and less feature rich option look at Jimp to see if it will do what you need and you’re programming in JavaScript. It’s a breeze to use. I’ve used IM and GraphicsMagick too and they are insanely powerful, but just quite complex

A market with no competition is a monopoly. They are characterised by extremely high barriers to entry. You are better off finding something you are passionate about in a competitive market, then working out how you will differentiate and m

I recall ServiceNow use a single tenant model, not multitenant like most other SaaS apps. I suspect (but am no authority on the subject) this means a dedicated database per customer.

It should be law that airlines cannot seat people so closely, at least until Covid passes. If they need to double or triple the airfare, so be it. I don't think increasing the price will alter demand that much, I don't see how peo

The only issue I have with Twilio is their charging. For voicemails, calls typically last less than 10 seconds, and often only a second (because they hang up and don't leave a message) - but as they charge per minute you are billed the

The accidents didn’t help either, right? I like the idea of Boom, but would much prefer the engineering from either Airbus or Boeing. I think all this talk “MVP” and startups so often in the same sentence over nearly a decade now makes me w

I’m not OP, but Microsoft is one of a handful of stand out tech companies for me. They are paying a decent dividend (almost unheard of in tech) and have a very solid enterprise product lineup that has gained traction, with a huge amount of

Back in the 90s I’m sure I remember something like this in the market.... I was a small-time DJ and liked to keep across the new AV gear. I also certainly remember magnetic levitating AV stands to minimise distortion. It was a bit of a gimm
