Great, that means there is a potential market for it. When Ford motors started cars already existed, when Facebook started social networks already existed, when Google started search engines already existed, etc. In my opinion, getting demo

Which is pretty ridiculous given that everyone needs a social security number, and then if you ever want to rent or buy a place you need a credit score. Then if you want to travel abroad you need a passport. And if you use google, social me

Bullet Train ( https://bullettrain.co/ ) is a good Rails saas starter kit. Their licensing is pretty reasonable (you can choose an annual $500/year plan or pay $1.5k upfront to get unlimited access forever). They also ha

Because the US government wants to maintain access to FBs data. Shutting down FB would be a big blow to surveillance, hence they will never do anything serious against it. They’ll just put on a show, scream publicly in outrage about what FB

I would love to be able to block all calls from Texas. Every day I get 5+ spam calls, starting at 7:30am, almost all from Texas. If I could block all of Texas, then 90%+ of the spam calls I get would go away.

Is not that they can’t, is that there’s no money in it for them, at least not yet. At the same time that these companies don’t do anything about spam calls, they formed a consortium to push something called A2P-10DLC on services like Twilio

Pretty much everyday I get 5+ spam calls, almost all from numbers with area codes in Texas (no idea why). The calls start at 7:30am. My number is in the federal do not call list. I used to manually block every single number from spam calls,

There’s both. About the blacklist, I don’t know exactly how it works, who specifically has access to it or who can add entries to it, but I know it exists, I know people who have been affected by it, know people who have been told explicitl

A bit tangential, does anyone here have any thoughts/comments/reviews about the Nura[0] headphones? From what I understand, they put a microphone next to the speaker to measure your ear’s response to sound. Based on that, a compan

Of course not. In app purchases might make sense for someone that has an app once they already have a pretty good audience, but the issue is how to build that audience in the first place. I was wondering if the person I was replying to had

How would you leverage in app purchases to promote a B2B saas product?

Good suggestion. Unfortunately Reddit is not that popular for the target demographic I have in mind (B2B in a Spanish speaking country).

I personally dislike FB. I don’t have a FB/Instagram/Whatsapp account and would hate creating one just to run ads. Unfortunately I feel like 90%+ of my target audience uses Google for search and at least one of FBs properties. It’
