Yep, that's the compromise I came to as well at my solo bootstrapped SaaS. However, there are still some benefits of colocation that I would love to have: 1. ability to use M1 Mac minis as servers for specialized workloads, while havin

Haven't got an offer from Stripe Capital, revenue probably doesn't meet their criteria.

Thanks for the lifetime appsumo idea. Never thought of that!

What about Apple's FaceID? Secure, private, decentralized, and and verifies sentience (well atleast intactness of your physical head), location and identity.

Both, and the fact that my previous startup went bankrupt (maxed out personal credit) so my credit score is shot.

Yes, the grass really is greener over here, this IS the dream. I quit my job in 2017 to start a SaaS, and even though it's been really tough, as the first idea did not work out and I went bankrupt and had to return to the job/free

Ask HN: Micro investment capital (~$50k) for a solo bootstrapped SaaS?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this problem of distributed databases, and so far the easiest and most innovative solution I’ve seen is PolyScale[1], basically a CDN cache at the SQL layer with smart automatic invalidation. I just don’t want

Any support for remote server connections via SSH? My RDBMS instance is not exposed publicly, and is only accessible over SSH.

The browsing-through-relationships features looks very, very, cool. One-click "see related rows" would save me a ton of time every day, as I use TablePlus, where I often find myself manually copying foreign keys as I switch betwee

I thought this would be about connection reliability. My experience with 6 different bank API aggregators (Plaid, Finicity, Tink, Nordigen, Yodlee, and SaltEdge) is that none of them actually work reliably for many banks. Connections drop a

And is that bad? So many people suggesting immigration as a “fix” but a fix for what? What’s wrong with a declining population?

Given what Pushover does, I would say it is reasonable. It is a text notification service, not a bank instructions processor. "I'm not receiving any notifications" is likely to be a much more common customer complaint than &q

Rumi talks a lot about the pain of unattainable beauty, in both men (as desire) and women (as envy or desire to be desired). That brand of Sufism really breaks down, both philosophically and psychologically, the "meaning" of painf

I travelled the world and learned a long time ago that the world, as viewed through macroeconomic lenses, is pure delusion. GDP does not correlate with actual quality of life by any stretch of the imagination. The definition of "develo

Wrong tool for the job. If you want to do serious research and archival, use something like DevonThink. I have 20 GB+ worth of stuff there (millions of items including 10 year email history) and it still does full-text search in under 500ms

Can't judge a culture by its emigrants, especially when you don't speak their native language. The cold/stoic stereotype is especially false.

OK, this is going to sound extremely controversial, but as a person who lived for many years in three different worlds: 1. The Western world (born/raised/educated in Canada) 2. The Arab world (lived for years in Jordan, have Musli

I don't understand how a person falls into complete homelessness, barring severe mental illness or addiction. Don't you have family or friends you could at least stay with temporarily? I moved to a country where I have zero family

Thought experiment: what if we banned all acquisitions and mergers? A corporation could be like a "person" in that regard, strictly not for sale. I think the process of determining which acquisitions or mergers are acceptable vs

I would buy a historical edition of Brittanica, not a 2023 version of the World Book. It would be eye-opening to see how people thought of the world before the speed and hyper-connectivity of the internet.
