What’s the pricing? What speech-to-text engine is being used? Clicking on the Sign Up button on iOS Safari does nothing. Clicking on the Get Started button takes me to an Upload Video form - not what I expected from a mp3-to-text service.

It wasn’t just the length of the email body they changed in the 3rd variant... they also changed the subject line from “Welcome to Netlify” to “Question...”, but that change wasn’t mentioned as a potential contributor to the good result. I’

An abandoned cart reminder email sent a few hours later has a ridiculously high conversion rate - around 15% in my experience. Online vendors aren’t going to stop that practice, especially when the big e-commerce platforms make it easy to d

I made Timmy ( https://timmytimer.com ), a social pomodoro timer with free web and mobile apps. Sort of like “Twitter for productivity.” No login required. It’s getting a lot of use by college students and coders. Pretty fascinati

The Pomodoro technique has helped my productivity more than anything. So much so that I built Timmy ( https://timmytimer.com ) and added social features for some added motivation (all timers are public - think of it like "Tw

Yep, back up for me, too. Lucky them - DNS outtages can sometimes take a lot longer to resolve (heh).

OP here. Five days ago I got inspired by this post on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22806609 and decided to build something for myself. Maybe others will like it. Very early MVP, go easy please. :)

I use Google Alerts for this sort of thing, and was surprised to not see it mentioned on your site when discussing alternatives. What makes BrandChirps better than GA?

Sahil, thanks for sharing your story to date. I remember meeting with you in 2011 in Palo Alto shortly after your launch, and I could tell then you had the “right stuff.” Proud of you man.
