Show HN: Get SMS reminders for dry days in India
- fatruchir 7y agoThe Problem: A bunch of friends and you land up at a bar/wine shop and it turns out to be a dry day and then you go - doh! (one friend even went to Goa for a weekend only to realise it was a dry day) Solution: I decided to build this simple SMS based reminder service which would remind you of all the dry days in the year! Let me know what you guys think!
- darrenwestall 7y agoWhat’s a dry day? I assume it means no alcohol, but worth making it clear on the site.
- captn3m0 7y agoA privacy policy would help me trust you a bit more. Good hack!_
- fatruchir 7y agoyeah, gotta add a formal privacy policy. It'll look something like: - Will never share your data without your explicit consent - Don't use any 3rd party trackers (not even GA) so no data shared with them - Data stored in India (AWS) in a server owned by me Anything else you think I should cover?
- fatruchir 7y agoAdded a privacy policy (of sorts). Let me know what you think!
- kaushikt 7y agoIn India, we get so many spam SMSes that I've learnt to completely ignore that channel. Must have a privacy policy and tnc. Looks good though
- fatruchir 7y agoyeah, agree. But SMS was the quickest to get started - depending on traction - can add other channels as well - Email/Whatsapp/IVR/website notifications. Yes, privacy policy seems to be universal feedback. Will add that for sure.
- captn3m0 7y agoEmail+Telegram would be best for me. I don't want to give my phone number
- timvdalen 7y agoBe aware that your robot detection will not work as it is: * The question (and answer) is always the same * The answer is in the source code for the site * The answer is only checked in the frontend (so robots will never see it at all) Effective anti spam should be done in the backend, as a spambot would just send HTTP requests directly to your backend.
