Spenstig!! Mangler bare "endeleg" i Exception handling :)

I agree with the other comments here that you're better off just hosting it yourself. Though, if you go down the path of considering commercial services check out y.gy (note: I'm affiliated). It would allow you to see where people are clicking from (Twitter, Reddit, etc.) and where they are clicking (city-level). It _could_ be useful depending on your traction.

Here to say thanks for using getwaitlist.com and let us know if you have feedback for us anytime :) (Context: Am the founder) Also, Hiringtools looks slick!

dang: Your about bio says "Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups" and that is exactly what is happening here. It's a fruitful discussion with a lot of nuance and yes, disagreement. Nothing here seems against guidelines

I love how this is a post about the European regulation of technology and people are arguing in the comment section about quality of life

"If they can’t ban products, then it’s not consumer protection: it’s just wealth extraction." Couldn't have said it better myself

Haven't tried it yet, but will check it out for sure!

Been using Intercom for most of my project as well, but it's expensive. If there was a good alternative, I would probably switch

Hm -- don't think this is the case for legacy industries. It's just what they're used to and have been doing for years

What is an example of this? I don't work in real estate, but just based on the # of OCR companies for B2B PDF data extraction, I would imagine it's still a huge problem.

Thanks for sharing! Why do you think XMP isn't widely adopted yet?

But they want to pay extra for expensive OCR software to parse it out instead?

Thanks for sharing -- will dive deeper. This has been keeping me up at night recently...

Thanks for responding. I'm curious why PDF doesn't have any metadata attached to it that can easily be parsed out by machines. Sigh

Shouldn't both exist? I.e. PDF for the human and data for the machine?

Are you open to connecting over email? I'm considering digging deeper in the Open Source DocuSign rabbithole and would love to hear your thoughts on needs etc.

Probably just me being ignorant, but why are you not using Github for this?

I've never stored code on Dropbox. What's the use case for that? Why not store it only on Github?

I spent the last 3 months talking to businesses in regulatory spaces (healthcare, fintech, etc.) and realized how manual paperwork processes can be. It's often sent over email, error-prone and when multiple stakeholders are involved, gets messy. I want to build a solution to improve it and have built a quick landing page to gauge which part of the paperwork process people are most frustrated with.

Would love any feedback or thoughts! Thanks :)

If you have a one-time PDF that has to be signed, would you self-host to get it done? My hunch is that open-source solutions may only be useful to businesses. Wdyt?

Wait is this an actual issue? Do you guys specify that it is strictly optional?

Why would you be interested in an open source alternative?

Thanks, I'll make sure to do that next time!

Yep, this is 100% it. In some ways it's unfortunate -- we had some great desktop software in the 1990s and 2000s that was really effective. In the move to the cloud, a lot of software has been re-engineered for the browser, with massively greater constraints. I can't believe that Google Docs still doesn't have the feature-richness of Microsoft Word 2007 or even 2003. Browser-based image editing software is generally not nearly as powerful as the Adobe CC suite circa 2010. We're re-engineering inferior software for the browser all the time, with the only difference being collaboration and platform independence -- which, admittedly, is huge. So I'm not surprised that you saw this first-hand 25 years ago. It feels like developers (myself included) are perpetually rediscovering the same design principles and products as the underlying computing platforms evolve.

Thank you so much, Steven! Really appreciated your advice in the earlier days :)

When I hear "no-code" for backends, my initial react is Make and Zapier. I haven't given the backend side much thought, but this is interesting. Any use cases you had in mind or do you wish you had this for a specific project?

I think it's because of the hero image increasing and decreasing in size. Totally on me. Will fix by EOD.

Aaaa I needed this -- ty!

Hey! Sorry to hear. At this point, eBay is no longer a tech company but a legacy service. I’m building https://limited.co, the next generation of peer-to-peer marketplaces, with auctions and more. We launched a few weeks ago into the mechanical keyboard space and will be expanding into all goods. Check us out!
