For startups and especially small teams that want to move fast, rails is the top choice.

You want something that speeds you up and frees up time to validate your idea, not reinventing the wheel.

Cheers!

Don't take it personally.

Fire away and move on.

Time you dedicate asking around is wasted money for your company.

Learn from your mistakes and try to avoid a bad hire in the future.

Just finished reading the second book of Dune and loved it. Would recommend it to anyone who's into science fiction. Cheers!

Has anyone had a problem accurately measuring ads performance for a SaaS product? I certainly did with my own business, and it's an incredibly painful problem to solve!

I almost gave up running ads because I was getting very confusing results! In a SaaS, conversions are much harder to track: * because of long sales funnels * LTV can be very different for customers coming from ads * churn can be higher * so much more... It's a mess and it's difficult to decide which ad you should spend more money on if you don't have a clear picture of what's happening.

Tracking it down to each visitor makes it super clear.

I'm looking for a few more fellow founders or their marketing team to add to our Beta program. Want in?

Guys, do you realize there are 12 classes to define 1 frickin default button? When all you need is btn btn-primary this tailwind CSS thing seems like a bunch of nonsense to me. Sure it's great to see a lot of ready made html components and it's tempting to just grab one and get a head start - and it might just work well for a landing page (I've used tailwind exactly for this) but for full blown applications? Using these components is just madness.

What's that saying: if you're not embarrassed by your startup you've launched too late. I'm sorry for the broken link ron22.

Our goal atm is to get some early users that are willing to talk about their problems and figure out the best solution with them.

Thanks for the comment. What is the hardest part for you exactly?

Yes I do, for the past 6 months or so. I don't know if I could find people that are entrepreneurs, that has similar interests and have a family here in Bali, but I could try :)

Thanks j45, I didn't know about this. It looks like a great community of SaaS founders!

Hey dragosdev, how did you find your friend? Did you go about in communities or did it happen at yc? Thanks a lot for sharing

Thanks santa boy How hard was it for you to do social outreach and how did that work for you? Did you find any good friends? I am in the process of delegating stuff to another person in the team because a lot of the anxiety for me comes from those boring but important things like accounting and such.

Hey leandot, thanks a bunch for the suggestion! And thanks for your availability, I'll reach out to you now ;)

Hey segmondy, thanks for your comment and for sharing your ideas! I'll ping you up so we can connect.

So nice of you to comment. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try to join startupschool.org. Connecting with you on twitter now :)

True. All these things are going to be difficult right now - if one is trying to be cautious about the pandemic. I'm doing skateboarding only because it's a big outdoor space and the risks are very low. Most of the other skateboarders are either kids or adults very focused on their practice - as am I. I'm wondering if anyone knows any existing communities or groups of solo founders that are looking to build a friends support network.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This is an interesting point of view that I haven't thought about before. I agree with the fact that men are generally less inclined to speak openly about their feelings, worries and such.

I realized I haven't shared my gender in my post so it's interesting to see how other people relate to my question.

Does anyone know any groups or communities we lonely guys could join to find like-minded solopreneurs to support each other and create meaningful relationships?

lol I haven't added any context around my life in my post. I am very lucky as I do have a lot of company in the house: my wife and 4 little children and we live in Bali :) Still, I feel isolated in my work and I find it really hard to make friends that I can also talk to about anything you know.

Looks way more secure than mine that's for sure. You don't think a product like this can become a trustworthy product, why? As I see it you trust your version of it, so if it was a decentralized system it would be a great fit for you. Plus, if it's written and reviewed by an open source community I think its value increases even more!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Hey everyone. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

As of now, the product is in a very very early stage of development and I am aware that it still needs some fixing and improvements. What you see in the first page is essentially what I believe this product should aim to be: an open, anonymous and secure messaging system on the Web.

DanBC: I think a people need a secure and completely anonymous messaging system like the one I imagine. As of now I wouldn't trust the service myself because I know a lot can be done to improve security and the architecture itself needs a lot of work. I believe the only way a product like this can face the attacks you describe is through the support of the open source community. A product like this should be free and open for all.

What do you think? Are there similar products you would trust or that you like? How do we make encryption free and safe - and easy - for everyone to use?

Thanks again!

Hi Brudgers, thanks for pointing that out! I will post GistScript as Show HN as soon as it's a little bit more refined. For now I'm sharing my thoughts as simple blog posts.

You are right! I cannot edit the post anymore :(

Communication with your cleaning staff simplified. Dead simple calendar, work on any device and alerts your staff automatically via sms. Forget about texting checkouts to your staff for ever.

Thanks again Larry. I really appreciated it!

agree

Hello, I had this call with an old friend of mine yesterday. I felt strange afterwards and I felt it was kind of important to share it with you. It happens all the time... Let me know what you think about it.

wow that was honest feedback ;) Thanks Larry! I will do some browser checking these days to make sure everything works at its best.

You're right, we need to communicate what the real experience is. We need to use facebook's photos I agree. We need sections to describe how romantic/adventurous/breath-taking this place is.

I was thinking of adding a background video in homepage. It could be like a drone flying over the property. People having fun. Having a romantic dinner. Cooking pizza in the oven. What do you guys think?

Thank you again

Thank you stranger :) It's very actionable feedback. I'll correct that typo rightaway ;)

that looks very helpful feedback! Thanks DrScump for taking the time!

I didn't notice that, thanks!

Thanks, nice catch
