As an Estonian who has voted online and via mobile ID for years, couldn't imagine going to vote in a physical location, using pen and paper.

Initially Intercom was all about being great in a niche (on-site chat messaging), doing one thing well, focusing. Then growth came, demands for expansion, and so their mantra switched to all-in-one suites. So did their content marketing.

If you have a room to live in and food on your table, you already are successful. Enjoy life.

That's really good and above average. How different it is for you in the SME/SMB segment vs enterprise? Churn is much higher for small 5-10 person installations usually, as the switching costs are small and often even initial payments are to continue trialing it. Much different for 1000 users implementation.

Often for task and project management software the churn is high and customer lifetime short.

Their older article of matching personas with Jobs-to-Be-Done has always been a good one: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/personas-jobs-be-done/

So is Intercom's: https://blog.intercom.com/when-personas-fail-you/

It also depends where you use these. While personas are often low value in product design and UX (where JTBD can shine), in marketing and sales personas can be a big help (although even there, JTBD has strong role).

I guess we're too electronic here in Estonia, with all the e-signatures and all. I always struggle to find a friend to print something, need that once in a few months. Same with many other companies here.

What exactly would we need a printer for? What should we print out? Just curious.

Who still nowadays has a printer? Even most offices don't.

Modern wood is much more fire resistant than concrete or steel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-3oEb8KUiQ - it's an imaginary myth, that wood is dangerous.

RSS feed ads used to be quite a thing.

Have not found the crawl rates changed for sites where everything is well linked together. Then again, these have been just small sites with a few million pages.

Are sitemaps still a thing that really matters?

Actually it's vice versa: you get motion sickness more if there are no outside visual cues on your orientation.

I've seen some newer style (often grey/blue/wight on grey) tower / control radar screens and they seem so much better than the old black ones.

It's useful to start visiting https://growthhackers.com/posts and reading stuff posted there daily. It's like HN for online marketeers.

There is also this one: Legible, are you sure? An experimentation-based typographical design in Safety-critical context http://lii-enac.fr/articles/vinot-chi-2012.pdf

Wired had an article a few years ago: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/aircraft-typography

Wonder if there's also a technological new service that could change all this?

Humour (or humor in American English) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion.

Have been toying around with an idea of recruitment and job application service which would try to turn the tables and show candidates who's interested in them. So instead of applying, the first step would be a question from candidate to company saying "tell me more about this job". The company would then need to actively get back to the candidate. The advantage to the company would be a much larger pool of candidate contacts, although they would also need to work those contacts more.

It might not be a solution for jobs and company types described in this thread, but in many industries, company types and countries the lack of candidates is a much bigger problem than too many candidates.

How long is your sales cycle from visitor to paid? If less than 1-2 months, just play around double the price for a month and see what happens.

Having run and advised numerous companies over years, increasing prices is one of the best decisions a startup can do. In 90% of cases there are no ill effects and just increased income which helps buld a better product. Profitability FTW.

Can you tell more about the experience? Indie.vc otherwise sounds fantastic. Good option to other debt and loan options for startups.

Since most Android phones nowadays are anyway a commodity, success is much more about sales, marketing and branding than the phone itself.
