That's definitely a new situation we haven't seen before! Are the 100 people using all of the different rooms, or do people mostly stick to their own rooms (like a hotel/dorm)? I'd love to see what you've built so f

Sorry you felt like that was corporate shilling. This is a problem we see people hit often and have built something to improve the experience, so it felt worth sharing. If it helps, we're a 2 person team (hardly a corporation) and we r

You’ll see the impact even more with hardware startups, who don’t have the means to keep a stockpile of products (like a capacitor to production woes). For example, Hiome builds its products in Chicago, but we get the PCB boards printed in

Interesting that it’s explicitly limited to B2B startups. Is there a feeling that B2C isn’t a “real” business? Or maybe because B2B startups are more likely to be acquired by larger companies, thus absorbing Microsoft’s stack?

Thanks Josh and Cyrus! The bulk scripting looks super handy and definitely addresses half my concern with OS updates. The other half is being able to roll-back if something goes wrong during the update. Sent you an email!

Thanks, our beta customers love them so far! Regarding price, each occupancy sensor is $79. These are high accuracy thermal sensors with local machine learning that can count occupancy. For comparison, a standard PIR motion sensor that can

Hi Manuel, thanks for the comment. I reached out a few times to support and never heard back. It does look like most of my issues were quietly resolved later, but we ended up abandoning the dashboard and using the API directly for a lot of

Congrats on the launch! This is perfectly timed since I’m currently evaluating device management solutions for Hiome’s IoT device fleet ( https://hiome.com ) Currently, we use Mender (mender.io) but are considering switching. Pros

The upcoming wave of IoT products will all be local-first because too many users (and thus founders) have been burned by the old cloud-addicted products that literally die when their supply is cut off. In the meantime, just say no to cloud-

I agree with the pain point to be solved but let me phrase this pitch another way: IoTZombieCo: give us x% of your revenue and we’ll acquire you for free when you die. In exchange, you can put our logo on your box as if we’ve already acquir

OP, this is a gorgeous date picker with some clever ideas. Great work! As others have noted, clever ideas do mean there’s a learning curve which is not ideal for something like a date picker. However, if this were in an app I use very regul

The problem is not that fundraising feels like a test, it's that fundraising is a test posed by authority figures, and by pg's own definition, is probably hackable. How hackable is proportional to the quality of the VC. Luckil

I agree that Duolingo is not sufficient to become fluent in a language, but I’d argue that no app could be. Immersion is generally the only way to become fluent. Having said that, I’ve found the learning experience on Duolingo varies wildly

Now that Stripe offers a corporate credit card, it's likely only a matter of time until they enable people to build their own credit card on top of Stripe. I assume they've built the API's internally already for themselves.
