I saw Sendy and the product seems solid, although a little dated. I wonder if a more modern, hosted competitor to Sendy would be appealing to enough users. I especially like their non-subscription based pricing model. I would opt for someth

You make a good point to not use automated testing fully . I would highly recommend using some level of automated testing in every classroom. Without automated testing, a lot of energy is spent on making sure the program runs and does wh

Excellent writeup! About 4 months ago, I wrote a comment[0] on HN telling folks how Apple simply omitted the server-side validations from their WWDC videos. And given the lack of good documentation at the time, WWDC videos were what most de

Thanks for the helpful advice! Totally agreed about learning from existing models especially the ones used in China. I don't think a model that works in the US or Europe will necessarily work in India. Indian markets offer "mutual

1. Agreed, I'll add that asap. 2. I should make it clear that the company does exist and is registered. 3. India's financial system is tricky but I'm well positioned to start a new brokerage. The problem that I'm dealing

As a developer, it's our responsibility to provide users with at least 2 options. While Sign in with Apple is convenient and seems to be fairly popular, users should be in control of their data. Some stats from my app where users have

The biggest one is that you're essentially trusting data that the client is providing (Apple gives user id to the client and the client sends it to the server). Unless you can verify the token and exchange it for your own session id, y

We don't plan on monetizing our existing users. As early users, they're providing their value with feedback and helping us work out the kinks. Once the app is monetized, all new users will have to go through that. Even then, I thi

Trust me, it's not just you. That is exactly why I couldn't use any of the budgeting apps. I'm an adult and I don't want to be told by an app where I can spend my money. Funded takes an "anti-budgeting" approac

by tusharsoni 7y ago
Thanks! It's free for now because it's new. We want to get an initial set of users, polish the app further, and then start the monetization. Right now, I'm leaning towards a subscription model because it makes the most sense.

After struggling with Mint and YNAB for a while, I figured that I didn't really want to budget. I was tired of categorizing and setting up $20 budgets. I ended up with a simpler methodology which is basically a MUCH simpler version of

I used sentry.io for a project and it worked well for what it is - error tracking. But when users reach out with issues, it is useful to look at logs and having them local means I would have to look at each log file per instance which could

Anecdotally, I have seen more than a few people get the O-1 visa recently. Has the bar changed for this visa? Who should consider applying for it?

YNAB is a really good tool for budgeting - no doubt. Funded provides a simpler way for people who aren't going to be tracking every single dollar.

Developer here. Thank you for a really good explanation! That's exactly what Funded does. You can have 'virtual accounts' to put aside money for future payments. With this concept, you'll know the true remaining balance

Seems like they completely missed the point. They need to make search results not rely on the page using AMP but just being light and fast. If the page uses AMP to do that, great, if not, shouldn't matter.

SSN is meant to be a secret but it's required at all the places you mentioned. At least with Aadhaar, if someone got a copy of my number, it can't be used without MFA.

Aadhar is meant to be private but it cannot be used for anything without MFA (unlike SSN). In that sense, Aadhar is not really treated as a password like SSN is.
