mauerbac··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Thank you!!
mauerbac··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I'm building a service that helps event DJs engage with partygoers and take song requests over text message. It is SMS based as guests won't want to download an app just to send a request in. https://requestnow.io/

Try the demo and let me know what you think!

mauerbac··on Show HN: Confir.io helps you find professional conferences
Thanks for posting!

I put this together in the hopes of making it easier to discover tech conferences. It’s been really hard to find conferences as an attendee, and more recently as a sponsor. Hope it’s helpful for others. Let me know if you have any feedback or find conferences I’m missing.

I built something very similar: http://confir.io/
mauerbac··on Ask HN: What a/b testing framework do you use?
Good question -- If you create a single SDK project, you can use any of the SDKs. Use the C# SDK on the backend and JS SDK to track client-side events. Feel free to reach out with more questions.
mauerbac··on Ask HN: What a/b testing framework do you use?
Hello!

I work at Optimizely so happy to answer any questions about our tools. We have a solution for the Web, as well as developer SDKs to A/B test in code.

You could also look into open source tools like Facebook's Planout: https://github.com/facebook/planout.

ah, I see. Still extremely useful-- my roommates and I lose our keys all the time. Also love the idea of adding "groups" of cell numbers to the permission list.

This is so awesome! Question: (I haven't used servos much) Will this still allow the regular key functionality to work? Can you turn the servo manually or is it resistant?

Great post! Had some great points. Check out my SMS startup http://request-now.com/
mauerbac··on Request Now: Need feedback Allows DJ to receive SMS song requests
Right, it's not really for the club or bar scene where they would have their own set list. It's more for birthdays, Sweet 16, high school dances, weddings or bar mitzvahs. These types of events the DJ's actually take requests.
