I don’t know if there has been a decline but since working on SEO for Tesults ( https://www.tesults.com ) which is in the developer/B2B SaaS space I have realized that tool comparison type articles rank highly and they are ei

There are people in those cars. I lived in the center of city for 9 years without a car and being walkable is great but you tend to end up limiting your life to a small area. Cars can enrich lives, open up opportunity and for families with

Can’t you just be MetaNotes or something like that? Is that still too similar? Given you can prove you had the name already.

I don’t think this argument works well against “Instagram for kids”. Yes some big tech companies have services that they supply that are close to feeling like essential utilities, but certainly not this, no one needs to use Instagram for ki

As a software engineer who has been mostly focused on testing over the last few years and leading a team focused on this, it's clear to me now that balancing what's worth testing and what's not is a delicate art and very diff

Hadn't heard of this before, thanks for the suggestion, I believe it's their 'Global Payments' option that may help with this, will read the docs.

This is my preferred option but it's only available for US accounts. See the banner under the documentation here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/add-and-pay-out-guide?integr... I reached out to Stripe suppor

Do these people need to have Stripe accounts? I guess that’s where I was blocked, we’d been hoping to make it easy for people to accept payments by not having them sign up for other services and transfer directly to their bank accounts but

You ask your users to create Stripe accounts for the purpose of transferring funds? PayPal seems like something individuals and companies would both have, I just had the perception (perhaps wrongly) Stripe sign up would be more rare, but it

My first ever laptop, and in fact first ever computer that I did not share with someone else was a Toshiba Satellite A100 that I purchased when I was 22. I actually needed it for a job I got (not having a computer provided was in hindsight

Agreed, find a technical co-founder and focus on the market/selling yourself. Do you have a brief of the problem you’re looking to solve?

by ajeet_dhaliwal 6y ago
I think there may be an overallocation of failure reasons to "no market need". If the founder started working on something to solve a problem of their own have seen at least a few other users use the product successfully but are n

Worth it, finally got an Aeron in April for home use having been used to them for years in offices and it’s just awesome, no more pain and not sore.

Back-end tests can be super robust immediately whereas front-end ones generally take some tweaking to get to that point. I still think they’re worth it, especially for testing the core feature happy paths. Selenium and the like are fine. Be

Yeah it seems like an area that needs massively more research, the information available on what causes these seems filled with gaps.

Agree with this and the parent comment. For the most part automated tests are for testing for regression. The highest ROI tests for complex projects are end-to-end in my experience - where the gateway interface is the API or UI - because th

I think this happens often and it’s because of a combination of two things. First the complexity of software development is not well understood by other teams so they can be fairly aggressive when something doesn’t “work” - like how could t

You have to stay logged in for the App Store, or you need to login each time. The point is I only want to be logged in for one purpose (the store), I don’t need all devices I’m logged into be syncing and taking my calls. I understand now th

There’s other things Apple’s doing that are even worse imo. I didn’t realize until yesterday that if you receive a phone call on your iPhone (on the number) that if you’ve used your Apple ID on an iPad (used by family members) it also recei

What would be the benefits of not having them included? It’s not like they get in the way of the non dev, I’m guessing most people will have no idea they are even there.

Hey thank you! Our seo is terrible, that’s on me to help fix :-) If you need any help with Tesults please send me a message directly. While we’re talking about the App Store in this thread web seo is it’s on minefield but at least it’s more

I released apps to the App Store in 2010 and 2012 so things have changed a lot since then. I never had major issues but I currently operate a SaaS (Tesults.com) which if it were to get an app would be a login only (no sign up) and may run i

If you are more productive using Node.js for back-end and React/other JS framework for front-end then don't worry about it and go ahead. Especially so for a small business with few development resources. The performance issues can

Truest comment here. I’m co-founder at tesults.com and the biggest reason we discovered for dropping off the product is because upon integrating they realize their test automation is in such a bad state there’s no need for the service :-) I

Seems more like a CTO/dev machine with IntelliJ and 64GB RAM. CEO presumably focusing on sales/strategy. Of course if the CEO will be doing dev work (ie 1-2 person team) then fine. Although I’m a dev and co-founder and even I got

First unassociated users I assume, for Tesults.com it was from a blog post on someone’s site who I asked to look at the app because I felt it may be interesting to his audience.

Very interesting article, I think there's a lot of parallels there to business and startups. I'm a technical person who has always struggled to promote, and it seems scientists/researchers face the same issues. The ideal is t
