Same as deleting leads in intercom, which is a 4/5 clicks process. So to get rid of spam accounts, you always have to go through a tedious process. Why? Because after all you're being billed per lead.

The differences in the prices you mentioned are astronomical... I'm already getting angry here to be charged $50 instead of $25 when the doctor "touches" you during some basic evaluation. But at least they tell you about any

It's actually how I became active in the webstore.. Tab Manager was sold to some other company and filled with malware afterwards. It took the webstore team over a year to take it down. Luckily enough the source code was still on githu

Hey HN! The backstory of Tab Manager Plus is an older Chrome extension called "Tab Manager". Unfortunately the main developer sold it off to some sleazy company that infested it with lots of adware, etc. So Chrome webstore removed

This is a really cool showcase and kudos for being so open! I'm currently writing up an article on about 18+ (simple) points of what founders should be looking at before pitching. But many times it just boils down to the same and only

Do you have any specific ideas of a massive road-block that would benefit from a Mechanical Turk approach? E.g. issues that would require an AI, but if split into a lot of tiny problems, that could be solved as a whole?
