Impressive indeed. Would you happen to know if Facebook is able to translate without using English as an intermediate language? For example, from Dutch directly to French, without needing to go from Dutch to English to French.

I wonder about that to. To me, cryptocurrency is akin to hiding cash under your mattress – except it's digital. You have to figure out security on your own, there's no protection against fraud, and if your money is stolen, it&#x27

Coinbase makes a percentage on each purchase/sale of a cryptocurrency, much like how a bank makes money when we buy forex. As far as I know, they don't take a fee for transfers of cryptocurrencies, which is more along the lines of

Definitely recommend externalizing your strings into one of the standard localization file formats (.po, .strings, XLIFF etc.) as mtmail suggested. Once your content is in a file, you'll be able to use a platform like Transifex (disclo

Check out Transifex: https://www.transifex.com/ . We built it for developers. There's an API and command-line client to make pushing/pulling content easy. A lot of people also integrate Transifex with Jenkins or so

Makes sense, but that scenario is true for any freemium model though, not just free packages like FbStart.

I hate it when that happens too, but I don't think this is will happen in FbStart's case. We're a program partner and companies who get accepted get a code they can redeem on our site for 6 or 12 months free, depending on the

I work at a company that's a FbStart partner. I've never heard anything about FB asking program participants for any IP rights (or equity). Just double checked the ToS and there's no mention of IP either.

Not that I'm aware of. We're a FbStart partner and have been on the partner side of these kinds of benefits packages a few times, and each time, we worked directly with the organization that was giving away the packages (Facebook

Same here. The majority of our SaaS users are non-paying (and will never pay because of their user role). With the new plans, we would immediate go from $50/month to $400+/month. That's a lot for a bootstrapped startup and wo
