Hey everyone!

Well, after 18 months of development and private testing, I'm super excited to share with you this project that I've been working on which is a B2B platform to help social organizations with managing their members, programs, invoices, and much more.

This platform is Cloudgenda. There's a free tier for organizations with less than 25 members. Cloudgenda is designed and developed in Montreal, Canada, and the pricing is in Canadian dollars.

I don't know what else to say about the platform, other than extending you an invitation to give it a shot.

Whatever questions you might have (business, marketing, technical, etc.), I'll be more than happy to provide as much information as possible. :)

It's an acronym. Each letter stands for a coding principle that I follow (and encourage others to follow) to write maintainable code. :)

You can’t know everything, but you can learn anything.

Logs without context is just noise. This article encourages the reader to consider providing context when writing logs to better understanding the intent behind the log message.

By the way, we have added a public help desk page for those that would like to contribute their ideas, suggestions or issues to make Deal Sniffer better for its users.

You can access the help desk support page at http://support.getdealsniffer.com.

Hello!

A while ago, we attended our first Montreal NewsTech startup night where five startups get approximately five minutes to pitch their project. We had no idea such a meetup existed, so we decided to attend as a member of the audience. While waiting for the event to start, we got to talk to a few of the attendees, and tell them about Deal Sniffer. We got quite a positive review by many due to its uniqueness in the browser extensions world.

Deal Sniffer is a little project that was started back in November 2016 (full story here: http://www.getdealsniffer.com/2016/12/31/the-beginning-of-th...) as a means to provide my wife with an easy mechanism to not miss any cashback reward incentives when shopping online.

There are many, many cashback providers around the world. Their annual revenue vary from 50 millions to 250 millions US dollars. Deal Sniffer currently supports just over 15 of them. This forces to monitor over 25,000 merchants across 20 countries.

What it does is quite simple. Once the Deal Sniffer extension is installed in the browser, it'll notify the user whether a cashback reward incentive exists for that particular merchant. It only cares about the merchant's web address (URL) and nothing else.

In short, it tries to connect online shoppers with global cashback providers under one umbrella: an extension.

We're currently working on developing a few useful apps around it, to make it even easier to shop online and earn cashback reward potentials.

It is our hope that you will like it and find it useful as much as we do. We're pretty good programmers, but we suck at marketing. During the Montreal NewsTech event that we mentioned earlier, one of the attendants suggested that we share our story on Hackers News. We had no idea what "Hacker News" was up until that point.

Now we are here. And we're loving the platform.

Wishing you all a very happy new year and many cashback returns. :)

The Deal Sniffer Team
