I'm all about transitioning CMSes and yet WordPress has got the turnkey part of their open-source platform clear and easy to understand. You can self-host or choose a provider. Payload doesn't make that clear, it's either too dev-centric for running or wants you to "Schedule a Demo" (which is a way to capture enterprise dollars).
What about more consumer-friendly pitches and deployments? Any recommendations on that?
If you export from QuickTime using the Apple Devices preset on export, that is an MP4 profile. Simply export and then rename the file from .m4v to .mp4. I’ve done this countless number of times.
Also, the link to view the main site is tiny and easily forgettable. I think the site could benefit from a stronger CTA that directs you to what I should do.
I didn't know you policed HN and determined what was a waste of time. Last I recall, Upvoting's purpose was that. Your arrogance is a detractor for others to grow and clearly you invested so much time to critique that you wasted your own time on something you didn't care about?
Kudos to you OP, you made something interesting and worth sharing. You've got this guy's attention. Please don't let other detractors mute your hacking.
These sound like mistakes that many beginner companies can easily make when trying to craft them. Why is there a demand for perfection out of the gate? And why are offers to remedy the situation not given the same kudos?
