Same here. Even the page to submit support requests is down. Cloud console does nothing. They should host their support services on AWS and vice-versa.

My favorite thing about this article is that it was released the exact same day as Claude 4 Opus. If it's satire, it's brilliant: because most of the comments I see (here and elsewhere) are clearly written by people who tried age

This is amazing! Obviously not as good as Perplexity itself, but a great starting point for anyone developing this kind of stuff.

FYI the new terms are previewed here: https://fabric.io/terms-preview For users of Fabric/Crashlytics/Answers, is there a TLDR somewhere for the new terms? (specifically, the delta between their new terms preview

Great points here. Wish I had thought to pitch the rest of the team first. For your article, you may be interested in a piece I wrote about Demo Day pitching specifically: https://keen.io/blog/41079734225/how-to-w

I believe I had spoken with 1 or 2 investors total about the company before that moment. You're right: practice really seems like the key to getting this stuff down. One can have a clear intuitive understanding of their vision long b

Now that I've finally re-watched it, I can't help but agree. I definitely sounded like a jerk (and probably a fairly stupid one). It's funny how one's defensiveness can be interpreted :(

I appreciate the support, and I'd be flattered if your group were to find this post useful!

Thank you for writing this! We definitely have social game traction, 3.5 years after this pitch. (I come from that industry as well) It's validating to hear from an industry veteran that our thesis isn't totally off base :)

Our thesis is that storing and analyzing ad hoc data is not a solved problem -- while it may be pretty easy at some scales, it is rather hard at others. Keen IO takes an API-based approach to the problem, which means: - developer abstractio

The thing about fundraising is, you don't get to choose your audience or their mood. All you can really control is how you react and how you present your business, and you can tactfully drive the conversation where you want it to go.

Wow, what a great write-up! I work at Keen IO and helped design the funnel API -- this is one of the most sophisticated uses of that API we've seen. Makes me proud :') Question: What's missing from our API? Are there any q

Very sorry if I've broken any HN rules. I didn't know those posts weren't HN-appropriate (or even that I had been flagged!). I don't mind being called out when I'm out of order, because I see it as an opportunity t

This post is great. Couldn't agree more about the four hours per day piece. The best work I did in my career as a dev was the year I worked 20 hour weeks.

I'm glad you had a pleasant experience -- it's too bad it didn't work out. You may be interested in an upcoming feature we currently have in private beta, which does this: your events ----> Keen IO ----> your

[Disclosure - I work at Keen IO] You're right that this is definitely one of our dominant use cases. It's taken us by surprise to see just how much traction we've among B2B SaaS companies who just wanted to give reports their

To see a model for this, look to companies with B2B DNA. Facebook and Twitter are used to taking a "PM knows best" b2c approach, not a "customers first" perspective. Salesforce REST is a good example from larger compan

I love this post! All too often founders fall into a cycle like this: Pitch failures begin to beget a habit of fear or panic or other forms of negativity, which of course beget more pitch failures. I had this happen to me in a bad way onc

Love this post. I agree with almost everything you wrote here. One thing I would respond to is the notion that tech industry workers are somehow inherently not creatives or artists. The best programmers and designers I know here are wi
