I like this, but at the same time parts of it strike me as odd.
Nobody tells anybody what to do? Really? Who's taking out the trash next week? Who's working through the weekend to make sure the install goes okay? Who's working Christmas?
It has that open-source feel to it -- wonderful, cool, awesome -- and you wonder whether everything could really be like this, or just stuff people are excited about. After all, there are a lot of things to do in any organization that people do not like doing. And the normative payment idea? Wow! I'd love to see that actually being used. Whether workable or not, its a very powerful idea.
Having said all of that negative stuff, I think you are on to something. Congrats! I want to see real-world, for-profit organizations using this because it makes them competitive. I think that's the put up or shut up moment for this product. But if you're willing to pivot, I know you'll make it. Awesome job.
Now the critical part: traction.
- kabuks 16y agoThe trash is taken out by someone who thinks it's worth doing. If nobody thinks it's worth doing, the trash stays. Bettermeans itself is running on the platform: https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/20 https://secure.bettermeans.com/projects/20 so far we've had no problem showing up for a critical install. And you're absolutely correct about traction.
