As others here pointed out, Meta does not have a good history of launching completely new products separately and succeeding in it (except FB ofc). So it’s a wait and see. If they’re going to ride on the coattails of the existing influence

The "detail"I received is the same generic reply you've shared in the other thread. I don't know what fly's internal processes are, but I suspect the reviewer had to have submitted some bit of internal feedback on e

Mirrors my experience. The job listing promised mountains and that it will take few hours and they’ll take time in their feedback,etc. except i just got a generic reply that “we’re not satisfied with the solution”. For something that took ~

Same for zurich and geneva as well. It’s almost a meme here for finding rental apartments within nominal budgets. They’re nice to live “if” you could afford to.

I'm doing a speedrun of sorts trying to build a product every 2 weeks. This is mostly to satisfy the builder in me and to exercise the product shipping muscles. For a long time, with full time jobs and consulting gigs I was never able

With just a backpack, it is already nightmare through security. I can't imagine walking back and forth fishing out that one last thing over and over from all the nooks and crannies.

I could relate at multiple levels. I suffered from series of burnout, bordering depression, for the longest of time without even realizing I'm going through one. When I lost the will to work, I attributed it to the work isn't inte

Apples to oranges imo. We’re talking about a journal (with photos and audio and whatnot) here. Also, i think keeping it in a physical format is more vulnerable from others accidentally reading it than in a phone which is the most private to

Excited for the journal app! I was always uncomfortable trusting any of the existing apps and inevitably censor or give up writing my thoughts. I’ve even tried building several (4(!)) journaling apps in the past and it’s still an unsolved p

While I like players such as Proton entering the Password manager space, I hope they don't lose focus with the multitudes of products. What I liked about Proton was the simplicity on just one product and executing it well, but lately t

One more I'll add is to show/say some response, anything. One group of people I've found difficult to interact with is those who won't show any emotion or acknowledgement. It could just be a visual cue, a nod or a smile.

I don't mind. It's mostly via Slack app directory, sometimes I get through my links. I specifically wanted to build an idea in a marketplace to solve the discovery problem (as I suck at outbound marketing or any marketing in gener

I've just changed into the per-user pricing (From fixed rate) to give better flexibility for organizations of all sizes. Would look into the pricing again in 6 months based on how it performs for now.

Io be honest, i'm not much of an expert on this either. I've built several projects and have abandoned midway. I put down all of my ideas with a title and 2 lines of description on evernote whenever it strikes (mostly when seeing

Thank you for the feedback, it is excellent. This homepage was done by me last month and you are correct. It speaks more of the offerings than exactly what it does or how it works. I'll get on it today. As to what it does, It's ba

I'm on the same boat, burnt by Evernote and trying to find the good alternative. Sticking with Obsidian for now with some apple notes in-between. But the former has too many features I don't need and later has this vendor lock-in.

It is hard. First you need a purpose, a motivation. Not the kind you get on a sudden morning, but a visualization of how the end result is going to be. Because, the sudden motivations will go at the same speed it came to you. But many of th

In reality it's much easier. I've sold couple of my projects before via different mediums (one is through microacquire - the one OP mentioned, and one was through a connect), and the best way i found to go about it is to be ready

It was via microacquire.com, the MRR was mostly around ~$90 for a year or so and was on the same when sold. Expenses were around ~$5/mo. so just kept it on maintenance mode. I decided to sell primarily because there were lots of enterp

Congratulations is due! The journey sounds very similar to what I'm going through, though in my case acquisition was the end result, couldn't see it through to the 3 digit $$. Built an app 3 years ago, just kept at it and it was o

One other excellent way to throw off the maintenance developer is to define & use LOTS of dynamic methods in obfuscated locations. Step up your game by defining those methods from a DB entry. (I wish I was making this sinister plan up f
