Show HN: My interview with patio11 and other profitable side project hackers
- paul1664 7y agoI'd buy this book. Always interested in hearing how others get their products to market with regard to work/life commitments, what the balances are, shortcuts to market, first customers, etc.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoCheck out the indiehackers podcast. It has a lot of interviews with founders working in what I consider more realistic conditions than VC financed ventures.
- rahimnathwani 7y agoI signed up for the mailing list and got a message 'Success! Now check your email to confirm your subscription.' But 15 minutes later I haven't received an email. I've already checked my spam folder. EDIT: still nothing
- charlesdm 7y agoSame here, however for me it did end up in my spam folder.
- schnevets 7y agoGMail showed mine in the spam filter. It looks like the author is using ConvertKit and his personal e-mail address for the replies. May have set off a red flag to Google. Also, the confirm link leads to a server timeout. Maybe a hug of death?
- laksmanv 7y agohey Rahim, shoot me a quick email (firstname@gmail) and I'll send you the book. Not sure why it's not working for you.
- robbintt 7y agoHi, site's dead - thanks!
- rahimnathwani 7y agoI'm an idiot. I was checking in 'All Mail' instead of 'Spam'. I found the mail. Thanks!
- pembrook 7y agoCan't tell you how many times this happens to me with my gmail account. I'll sign up for something I actually want to receive, and then Gmail just decides to block the email before it even gets to my spam folder. It's the most infuriating thing about email today.
- StavrosK 7y agoIt's the most infuriating thing about Gmail today. Just use another provider, Fastmail is better and switching takes a few minutes if you use your own domain.
- patrickbolle 7y agoDoes this offer much more than the free content + interviews on indiehackers.com
- gloflo 7y agoWARNING: This triggers a file download (unsuspiciously named bcc.pdf) immediately. My mobile browser downloaded it automatically. My malware senses are tingling, tread carefully.
- charlesdm 7y agoIt's a PDF with the interview. Didn't automatically download for me in Chrome, just loaded on the webpage.
- laksmanv 7y agoPromise promise this isn't malware, it's just a segment of my ebook so people can see what its like if they want to download the full thing.
- gcatalfamo 7y agoYou might have browser prefetching enabled. Not sure this is default behaviour.
- ve55 7y agoThey included the pdf in an iframe on the page, which most browsers will want to load instantly. If a browser is configured to download PDFs instead of render them inline, this is expected behavior. Using an iframe is a pretty bad way to offer a PDF to viewers, but the website definitely has quite a few strange mannerisms apart from that.
- pdq 7y agoHow old is this book/interview? If I recall, Patrick sold BCC 4 years ago.
- factsaresacred 7y agoNo https, a design that looks like it's from 2003, and a sample rendered in a PDF! Whatever about the content, you need to up your design and marketing game. First impressions are key and these feels somewhere between lazy and scammy.
