A month or so back I tried experimenting with Airtable based on glowing reviews on HN and elsewhere. I really hated the on-boarding process which forced me into a template (contact list, schedule, todo) when I just wanted the equivalent of

If you're anything like me this may have been inspired by some plugins you absolutely hate. My advice would be to get a couple of 1 star reviews up, knowing which to avoid is maybe more powerful than the plugins to install! Keep up the

There may be no company I trust less to be open and honest about this than Uber. The arms race between companies will likely keep the most important lessons from this event proprietary. I'm very much not looking forward to hearing exec

They ran a poor test and / or the internal politics were always going to prove out a certain result. There is value to qualitative research and I doubt the answer was to do a better job of A/B testing.

These kinds of stories don't get made into blog posts because they don't help sell any kind of narrative. Novice eCommerce store owners will focus on the "top 10 things you can do to increase conversion" from blogs like

This book is very much aligned with the topic presented in the article if you want to examine how similar services are springing up in the west https://www.amazon.com/Outsourced-Self-Happens-Others-Lives/...

I was skeptical until I experienced an ad in my feed which in my estimation could only attribute to data captured by a conversation had hours earlier. Of course there is the possibility of coincidence but I find it hard to believe. I took a

When you say "trust symbol" do you mean the "verisign" logos and similar? If so - do you have real data to prove these make a difference in conversion rate? I have clients that come to me parroting the same tips and I im

But did you see his inauguration crowds? How about those millions bussed into New Hampshire to illegally vote?

lmao the mental olympics needed to arrive at the conclusion "data collection to improve advertising efficiency" is noble.

This is the same issue I have run into with my clients most frequently. It seems like they are not interested in fixing this issue sadly.

I created something similar for a less demanding government form and comparing it to TurboTax is by far the easiest way to help people understand the value behind what the tool does.

I made a TurboTax like website to help make a claim against the TSA in this situation: http://TSAClaim.com , it will render a completed SF-95 form that you email to the TSA.

I was extremely disappointed reading the thread yesterday and the overall handling of the situation on the side of YC. This apology and outcome is about as good they come though.

I thought this was happening to me on another site, but it turned out I had developer tools on (disabling cache). Might be what you're seeing.

After Kimono got shut down, I think a self-hosted open source version would be extremely popular. I want to build my own solution, but the API functionality and pagination / AJAX loaded data would be too difficult.

I loved Kimono! It had the best interface and most flexibility for this type of service. A bittersweet congratulations to the team.

I won a free Apple Watch, and wore it for a while but decided to switch back to the Fitbit Charge HR after two months. The most valuable features to me are its consistent heart rate tracking and long battery life. I don't miss any of t
