I've seen two of these in Ask HN in the past week. I just want to say it's not as easy as building a SaaS and then customers will come knocking at the door to hand their giant stack of cash. We've been working on it or 5 mont

This is a nice product! Congrats on making it. It really touches on some very important workflows for people and we are working in the same industry, but working on different problem areas. I think fresh out of the box thinking like this is

This was our thought too as we were building a knowledge base widget that works with existing websites by embedding and blending inline to the page's design. Others required you to set up another support site and match the design and w

This is similar to what we are building at UserDeck. We call it Guides and it is a knowledge base widget that embeds inline into any page of a website. It is all Javascript and customizable on the client side with layouts and components whi

I make the mistake all the time too, but I think you would get a better response from sending them a message at feedback@github.com.

Many people would argue that the cost savings of Uber/taxi are already substantially greater than a DUI.

As a Sprint customer, I hope it does go through. My internet speeds are pretty bad even after them upgrading the infrastructure here to LTE. I don't know how it will play out, but I think Sprint users could stand to benefit from T-Mobi

Do you still have to style the knowledge base to match your site's design or use a layout? We've been working on a hosted knowledge base that you drop on a page and it inherits the design you already have. Our editor supports both
