Ask HN: How to find right services/products to use in a startup?
Hi everyone,
I have been on Hacker News for the past 8 months and have seen numerous technology products ( for eg. getstream.io recently got featured) which can help a startup to complete the a product in very less time.
The problem I face is that its very difficult to get to the right service/product when one starts developing.
Is their a proper way that you guys follow to search for these technologies or you just save them in pocket/bookmarks/evernote for future reference?
I know there are some lists which are maintained of Github/Reddit but there are very generic and mostly about free services.
- auganov 11y agoI usually start with google, see what open-source and "as a service" options there are. 90% of the time there's a clear leader. If not I'll search for articles/posts/topics about technologies that I shortlisted. I'll just keep on consuming as much information until I feel like I understand the space. I'm not sure if my intuition is right, but it sounds like you struggle with not having well-defined needs?
- wanghq 11y agoI made a toolbox. The tools were mostly suggested by HN community. It doesn't answer what the right service/product you should choose but just provides a list for reference. If you have ideas about how to improve it to solve your problem, I am glad to listen... http://www.hackertoolbox.com/ http://www.hackertoolbox.com/
