We use FirstPromoter, they're probably the only non-network affiliate tool that handle payouts through Paypal API without asking to bulk upload a CSV file.

We're 7 but we're only 3 front end developers that have the technical expertise to do this support task. I've though of putting FE developers in rotation for support, but after talking with them and other developers, it's very off-putting for them.

It takes a lot because the app is very complex and if you don't know all the little things, a wrong reply can cause a lot of issues for the client.

I don't give a f*k about someone following my activities, I'm not doing anything illegal, that's why I don't understand this privacy craze going on. The most they can do is show me some personalized ads and I don't care. But the downside is getting scammed, get money stolen and not being able to figure out who did that.

That's what anonymity feature of crypto promotes which I think is a much bigger deal, especially if you count all transactions it enables on dark web.

You don't want to hear other reasons. There are tons of people that now work on 2-3 companies at the same time -> productivity decreased. They do all other stuff around the house and they get caught up on it -> productivity decreased. Company culture doesn't make sense anymore and teams are less connected -> productivity decreased.

There are many other reasons, not just power like people here say just because they are highly biased.

Try Vue 3 with script setup.

well, today is cool to hate on any technologies related to musk. Even if you had a good experience, people don't want to believe you.

Interested as well? Including for multiple subdomains/domains where they require the Enterprise package

Exactly. I started building stuff at 17 and found "the one" (doing over 1 mil/year) at 27. I can't count how many failed projects I had.

that's because people that usually become indie hacker don't have much expertise outside of development and a few very saturated markets. Everything related to indie hackers, statups, etc are super crowded because it's easier for a newcomer to enter the market and build something familiar to them.

Most people that have expertise on agriculture, oil drilling, saw-milling etc where there are real opportunities don't know much about startups or know how to build an app.

I tried 10 years building numerous projects since 17 until i reached the $1mil one. I did it because I loved building stuff, it wasn't a burden for me like i see it's for so many people that want to become entrepreneurs because they see on Tiktok how good others have it.

If it becomes a burden, then it's a problem.

Also, luck may play a big role, but there's something you learn failing over and over again. You start to see what it's actually working and what path is closer to success. Patterns will emerge. You know that saying that sometimes you do your own luck.

The easiest path to success for a SaaS is getting a feature of a big product into a standalone specialized product and going after that niche. This simple thing so many indie hackers fail to realize, many try to build the next unicorn, the unique idea. If you keep trying like this, you'll likely fail 50 more times.

But is this healthy over long run? They also don't talk between them. It's like we're all strangers.

I'm afraid startups are not for everyone. Some are more resilient and have better circumstances (like no family to take care of), some have a lower risk threshold and get very affected by the rollercoaster.

However, seems that you have beaten a dying horse too much.

That's not great for bootstrapped startups looking to hire. I see this will hit the startup ecosystem hard, at least bootstrapped ones.

Even for venture backed statups, the money doesn't flow around as much as before so eventually this big power developers have it's way too much and it will balance in the next few years.

Are all 4 developers? it looks way too much. What's left for other parts of the business?

I say this as a founder of a $1.5 mil/year SaaS

Most crypto believers, believe in crypto because they have money invested on it and want to get rich. If you remove that variable of getting rich, very very few remain.

You nailed it!

The main reason they are leaving is because there's a shortage of jobs due to the pandemic and they get more offers with a better pay. Once pandemic is over, this will get back to normal.

You seem to have other problems to deal with...

Thanks. Have you hired from HireVue? What platforms do you use for contracting?

30% / month? what are you, tesla?

14 deaths in UK so far, ICU and deaths are a lagging indicator.

10 years of failure here, finally reached $1.3 mil ARR

I'm negatively surprised how much people agree with this. He's a lazy guy and he knows that. I think there's way too much focus on HN for finding excuses for every bad behavior instead of correcting it.

This Evan guy reminds me of the worst customers I have: rude, know-it all, overreacting. Just because you're a customer you're not entitled to be an ass.

Of course they have data about the customer performance, it's part of their job, it doesn't mean it has access to private data.

I'm a developer. I haven't done marketing at all, just posted my product in a few communities and took off. Why? Because if was a big need for what I built and worked really well.

If your product is super needed by the market, you don't have to do much marketing, but a great marketing person will get such product to the moon

Well, I guess it's quite similar where I'm from (in EU) where it depends if you're an individual or have an LLC like form of organization.

Even if you're sole proprietorship there are a things to happen to risk being classified as employee, like not setting your own working hours, working with company tools, not being able to sell to other clients (of course you can do that) and so on.

I really doubt it's an issue with Paddle, they have lots of german customers.

I don't think "bogus self-employment" applies here. If you're a company that contracts people instead of hire them as employees you might have troubles, but not the other way around.

WAF, DDOS

yes

do you have to sell 100%? is 49% possible?

Also, how small the businesses are? What if you're doing 7 figures ARR?
