I use linkedin for prospecting. I would love a tool that makes it easier to identify companies that likely have a need for what I'm building and the specific person within that firm who is responsible for solving that problem. This cou

Apps let a user specify the specific repos that one can have access to. That’s what we use for our company, tasker.sh. Furthermore, we basically only ask for the one “mandatory” permission - there are scores of perms you could request when

You can totally run cron jobs on a $5 virtual machine! This is how we started. We find that as the workloads grow, it becomes a bit more burdensome to maintain. Did my job run correctly? Where are my logs? Do I need to make my box bigger? D

Some things worked for me in various forms: - Set a budget. It can be whatever you want, but less than you’re spending right now. That way you’ll be able to do a quick mental check for whether you’re spending “too much” (relative to what? T

Question for people using SQLite in prod: how do you cope if your app is running on a platform like Heroku or Cloud Run, rather than a proper server or VM? Have you found a solution for the fact that those environments, and disk, is ephemer

I built one! I’ve tried to monetize it but I’ve given up on that. This is why there is literally nothing on the home page except a login link, which you’re free to try out. https://www.homepagr.com/ Anyway, if anyone’s brev

This is false. Facebook owns their own registrar which is used for their domain. (Source: I built the domain registrar at Squarespace and know the folks who built it at fbook.) This should not be on HN, it’s literal spam.

Is this a pain point you're experiencing? Would love to learn more about what you want to do!

Thank you for this perspective. Other companies have told us similar things, and we're generally willing to be flexible to help accommodate a security checklist. One easy solution we've talked about with some customers is to ship

We've spoken with consultants who are interested in our tools as a way to decrease the amount of effort required on their end to perform migrations (for example, so they can increase throughput and take on more customers.) Also, if a c

Today, we've been mostly focused on software vendors, and providing the service of making it easier to move people onto their platforms. However, there is nothing stopping us from selling our service directly to end-users (the code i

This is a good question, and, frankly, the hardest part of our business. We do the work of mapping data, understanding the corner cases, and implementing translations that yield the same results. This is easier when vendors work with us,

Here is a question (two questions) - are there particular platforms, or classes of platforms, where you worry about lock-in the most? And would it be useful for you to have a backup of your data from a SaaS vendor? Or is that not so useful

We are actually working on this problem too - stay tuned! There's no reason end-users couldn't use Hotswap to either extract their existing data as a backup, or use us to move to a different platform. After all, the code is the sa

Thank you! You've piqued my curiosity: are there any migrations that have been particularly painful for you? (Where might we have been able to help? What made them painful?)

I hadn't seen that. I personally don't have any problems with Wix as a platform, and if people want to use it, then that is great! But I do think that customers ought to be able to have a choice in the vendors they use. They sho

Yes! This was the reason our first integration was with Chartio. I wonder if it is easy to find companies that are shutting down - maybe even an HN search would give us some direction.

Thank you for the encouragement! We think a lot about this problem as well. We think that within a specific vertical ("productivity tools", "finance software") there is probably a lot of opportunity to use an intermediat

Ha! The system we built there was something that I'm really proud of - by integrating with both UPS and FedEx (and other couriers), we were able to have instant negotiating leverage if one carrier offered better service levels or prici

We had a customer who runs a platform for fitness instructors (to sell their videos, classes, etc) and their users already had all of their content on Wix.
