“The more beautiful the brochure, the more careful you should be.”
Common saying amongst Dutch investors.
- stanislavb 5y agoI love this. This quote is the most valuable part of this post for me. p.s. even if they have a beautiful brochure, they still have the name “polkadot”.
- systems 5y agoPC Soft, makers of a RAD tools called windev makes the best brochures https://windev.com/storage/en_US/ebook/newfeatures/3/ https://windev.com/storage/en_US/ebook/newfeatures/3/ RAD is a strange market though, tools are real, and customers make real business apps with it The marketing is usually very .. unusual
- Zababa 5y agoI used some WinDev and WebDev at my last job. The tool isn't that bad, it's nice to have everything that just works from my IDE. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan at all of using closed-source software. I also don't like using products for which the marketing is putting semi-nude women everywhere. Some people complained about that marketing aspect (https://www.jdp-pub.org/avis/windev-catalogue/ https://www.jdp-pub.org/avis/windev-catalogue/) and they toned it down, so what's in that link is actually tame compared to what they did before.

- throwawayswede 5y agoSomewhat of a bs saying really. I get the point, but the cover has the title, and we all do an initial assessment of the book by the title.
