Those photos do a great job illustrating what his situation looked like.

Here's to hoping he finds his two friends after all these years!

I appreciate this on the S1 filing threads where you can get some deep anecdotal insights on companies that you would have otherwise never been able to find through research.

Just wanna say we love using Mercury, and it's really the perfect bank for startups.

We also experienced the personal balance privacy issue where we didn't expect to see each other's balances but was too late by then.

Looks pretty awesome. I am a fan of the Personal Capital product, but am not their customer due to a really poor experience with trying out their paid/banking services.

I'm curious what makes you guys different from Personal Capital?

Hey Mike, this looks really interesting -- nice work! We're going to try it out to follow 'referral software' topics. Any tips/advice you can give us? I've already created a new Track for that keyword set.

That is incredibly alarming. Very reminiscent of WeWork and Regus. Only time will tell if it's a bubble that will burst.

That said, I'd really love to know what I'm missing or overlooking here, as GrubHub/Seamless being 30% the value of DoorDash feels waaay off here.

Having used both extensively, the answer is as simple as one is private/hosted and the other is open/self-hosting.

Heroku is easy, but expensive. Dokku is more work/management, but cost-effective.

This really piqued my interest, and so I took a look closer into the examples used:

1. Website examples: Twitter.com, Etsy.com, and Spotify.com signup forms don't use any off-white.

2. The visual examples provided are apples to oranges. Removing an input field and adding more padding were the factors that made the 'right-side examples' more visually appealing

> Ideally it should have nothing to do with Atlassian.

I'm curious, what do you have against Atlassian?

This is awesome. After years of being a dedicated Dropbox customer, I changed my cloud to Google Drive last year. The migration alone took more than a week, and I've been miserable ever since.

The Google Drive sync product is a third-class citizen compared to Dropbox, and I no longer view personal cloud storage as commodities, as was the original reason I switched over.

Great question -- I'd also like to know this

Could you expand on some of these points? For example, has there been new construction material of which the long-term effects are unknown, or has there been new architectural design methods?

Or were you saying that as a blanketed statement of opinion

Wow, this is nice. Going through the front-end path briefly, I realize I know most of these things, and it is because of gradual exposure and necessity in a tool.

I remember as a freshman in college, when I decided to first learn the basics of web development, I saw an intimidating roadmap like this one (though that was for full-stack). Back then, I would have never dreamed of making it even a quarter way through the list.

If there's a Robinhood for index fund investing, I am in. I think a lot of retail investors (myself included) lack a mainstream resource that pushes for stock diversification investments, having to resort to manual research.

I know Robinhood and <insert any other brokerage> supports this, but a centralized platform dedicated to index and mutual funds that focuses on them out of the box might make sense.

Nice job on the FAQ part and addressing most ~people~ developers' questions "why not X?"

Looking good, will check this out!

We are considering Datadog, and nothing else seems to compare to them, but they seem extremely expensive. As a small startup/solo founder, did your implementation justify costs?

I recently tried helping someone transfer $10k from US to different country. Only after signing up, filling in all the details, and going through the entire process, was there an error message that showed a Max of $800 could be transferred.

I then just advised to use their local bank's wire transfer, which they had to visit in person at the local branch, as they had originally intended.

Nowhere in my Google searches and Transferwise articles did I see any limitations upfront. Nor did I figure out how to raise these limits after searching post-filling-out-everything.

Very disappointed to say the least. But if anyone knows if I can raise the limit, would be happy to try this again.

Confused on who this is for. Landing page says consumers. Opening statement in this thread says B2B/

I'm a consumer who wants to open up one app to send money (in the USA) via either PayPal, Chase/Zelle, or Venmo -- is this for me? If so genuinely curious.

This is awesome. Thank you for making this. This is the list of clipboard manager apps I've been using, and ClipManager/Clipy are bugged on macOS, and Pasta is pretty limiting + UI does not have the ideal simplicity.

I was recently helping a friend modernize his family business, which is now his sole income and thus his full time job.

Because of the nature of older, archaic/legacy systems in place, there was so much room for growth and increasing revenue and profits.

My friend has worked in sales at a large tech company (hint, recent IPO), so he was acquainted with the tech industry. But when I showed him basic workflows such as how to automate Google Sheets and referencing cells and using formulas (aka Excel skills), it was like teaching calculus to a middle schooler.

I then showed him how he could connect siloed data between business tools using Zapier, which requires no code at all. I found myself again discovering that even setting up a simple Zap was way too much for him to handle.

These simple no-code workflows were to create a loyalty program, automated email/drip marketing, and more basic marketing implementations.

Moral of the story is that you can assume the normal person, even if they have worked in tech, will still have trouble setting up and using No Code to its powerful potential, let alone basic utility. I can definitely see a marketplace work for people like this.

If a tree falls in the woods because a ex-YC partner chopped it down, it makes a sound that everyone else can hear

Wow, had no idea GitLab was close to an IPO. Is there a lesson about saturated markets and differentiation that can be learned from them? I'd be all ears

That sounds comedically frustrating!

Reminds me of this legendary comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

Although I appreciate some of the argumentative counterpoints, most of the time it's from people who underestimate how lazy human beings are, and that people are willing to pay for simple services

This seems cool. I was trying the demo out, but I had to sign in? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the 'Use Sample NDA' button?

Site looks nice and clean (other than some business on landing). Good luck!

There was a time when Show HN was the equivalent PH launch (still is[?]).

Or maybe you're leveraging the number of Show HN posts you can do just by posting this post ;)

Awesome! Is it difficult to get on Spotify as a podcast? Would love to subscribe on there.

Not sure if this is satire (the contact email tells me it is[?]), but I would genuinely be interested in this service.

If it's a joke, I think it's gone over my head.
