Angular is not my cup of tea, but the team is putting out great work and the product is really useful for certain teams. Great work.

Very interested in this. I’ve written this in multiple projects. Have always thought it’d be cool to extract out but never got too. I’ve used auth0 before. It was way easier to understand than Okta. Why do you think your site would be too c

yes. I love this. until you have 10 customers your business is bull (jason cohen said this, not me and I love it). go get some sales. else you and your partner are wasting your time. best to figure out no one wants what you've buil

id suggest proceeding with caution. these pilot agreements.....did cash exchange hands? if no cash exchanged hands I'd treat these are essentially worthless. I dont mean to burst your bubble but: if you're solving a problem that i

Ive done this a few times. 1 more successful than others. I would strongly push back on presales not being a possibility in your industry. every single person says that, but the reality is a lot more likely to be the thing you want to build

My #1 bone to pick with Barnes and Noble was they wouldn’t price match their online price in store. There is a local store near me and probably once a month I want a new book. I want the new book that day so I look online (Amazon, Barnes an

I did school => work => now going back to school. Granted I didn’t study CS undergrad but taught myself a lot. Since, I’ve learned and worked on some interesting problems. I want to work in big tech or in consulting. To do so, I need

went through a lot of the same stuff. Its tough to be isolated and mental health is a large driver of why I didn't want to continue working alone on a (small) SaaS app.

I've only ever worked in an early stage startup I founded. We initially were in same office and transitioned to remote over a 3 year period. (only 5 of us). Early in your career (I wrote all of our product and am 25) working in an offi

Yep. Been coming. Platforms are super interesting with laws/regulations. Going to be interesting to watch what is decided.

1% engagement is a good metric to hit on social for real followers . Obviously not a 100% always accurate rule but apply and you’ll see instantly who bought fake followers.

Don’t build anything right now. Put an option somewhere that makes sense that says “like this? Upgrade to get even more features” or something similar. You know the users/audience better than I. And put some sort of analytics on that b

Yah. And when you do click it’s a lead gen capture form for email. AKA all marketing spam. I actually think it’s a nice service. Just being a little dishonest with this statement.

We ran our entire infrastructure on AWS so I guess I’m familiar but know I’ve got blind spots. We ran ECS w docker, ELBs, Route53, used RDS, SES, and probably some others I’m forgetting. I’ve played with Lambda but am not experienced with i

Read my comment below. The maintenance side is the massive headache and really painful. Happy to advise as I can on learnings from consulting I’ve done in space.

It’s really really hard to coordinate contractors in short time increments. I did a consulting project with a measurement company (measures sqft of homes) and their model is stressed coordinating and moving around in 1 market at near max ut

Is this different than rabbu.com? They just raised a round near me and I have some experience in real estate, and have some concerns about the model scaling. Happy to discuss more if it’d be helpful.

I am happy you all are launching and wish you well. Increasingly seems the companies launching on HN are in search of a problem. Renting a charger because you don't have one at home seems like a backwards way to solve the problem! But,

I’ve been messing around with an idea of starting something like failedfounders.com. Basically an online repo of stories, learnings and the like. It’s too taboo to talk about and I wish that’d change. 99.99% (made up, don’t quote me) of peo

I did some consulting work for a similar problem with growth. Home measurement company that sells to realtors at $100/service. Margin of 15%. Avg customer only uses service 3 times a year. So they make a whopping $45 a customer. The on

One product worth checking out might be simpleanalytics.io. its a small company that doesn't track your data. And its cheap. Not entirely sure of your use case but ive seen a good amount of people saying screw the data collectors Ill r

Fomo.com is doing a few million and is owned/operated by 1 individual (although he has a small team). Believe he acquired it and grew it like crazy. I’d reckon (if he chose) the company could do a 100k a month in profit.

Have experienced the same. Canceled subscriptions. Hell I use to ALWAYS watch ESPN. Now I never do. It’s sad because the product use to be so good. Now everyone in sports wants to be a politician and talk about the very stuff im watching es
