So moved by this post! I wish more CEOs had the courage to post their feelings about how tough it is to keep things together in the face of adversity. This is well thought out, well worded, and completely amazing. THANK YOU for putting a spotlight on what is something most CEOs are afraid to talk about for fear that it makes them look weak. Bravo! Keep it coming. Keen.io is an amazing product and I wish you and your team all the best!

While I don't agree with all the points, the best advice in here is:

"But for all that is good and holy, don’t join a startup for the fucking money."

If you're joining or starting a company because you think you're going to buy a yacht and a small island, stop it! Recently I've seen some Founders tweeting things that make me shake my head every day. You're not going to be rich unless you have that once in a lifetime solution no one else is building. That's why it's called, "winning the startup lottery." It's still a fucking lottery. :)

This reply makes me think of Craigslist and how it was really meant to be a community based platform for people to do or sell whatever they wanted. Add that they have/had a pretty active forum which was also a quasi-democracy in which the community decided what was good or bad.

I think this is what was intended for Product Hunt, but somewhere along the line something happened and this became a bit skewed.

I've never met Ryan, but I know many that have. It sounds like this was not a product meant to build on the "boys club" but to let people know about cool shit people were building. Eventually it became THE place to find new products and services to a point where, if you were launching a product, posting and having it upvoted on Product Hunt was/is a must.

From my perspective, that's not being a horrible person. That's creating something that people trust. Sounds like innovation to me.

Used to use Shoutcast for an internet radio thing I did. While it wasn't the most intuitive thing to set up, once it was working it never broke. Interesting to see that someone has found value in both WinAmp and Shoutcast when there are so many other solution that make it much easier to listen and/or broadcast music.

I'm talking about native apps. Not just a responsive site.

Some feedback:

1) I think the pricing is too low. If someone has more than 1 property chances are they can afford much more than $10 or even $50 a month. If you're offering such a robust platform, charge what it's worth, not what you think will help you gain traction.

2) You might want to reach out to the folks at NoAppFee.com (https://www.noappfee.com/). I see both companies being able to benefit from some sort of collaboration. If you need an intro let me know.

3) Make this mobile/tablet friendly. Most property managers are out in the field managing their properties and would likely appreciate the flexibility of managing things on the go.

Great idea. Love the added value of the reporting. You may also want to think of adding some sort of scoring system for the renters based on their history so Property Managers can see quickly how much of a risk someone is. Seems like this would be pretty simple to do if you are already grabbing the data.

Happy building! :)

I'm more afraid if it knows I'm doing something else.

Great question. Segment is not entirely focused just on data. If you look at their integrations, they have over 130 possible integrations of an array of options.

I think the other big difference is the dashboard. Brightwork will be a great tool to save time when trying to combine and collect data.

Brightwork is a data API aggregation tool. When you're done building whatever mobile application you've built you likely want to collect data (usage, demographic, etc). Most Developers use more than 1 data API because not every tool collects everything someone wants to collect. So they use multiples because they want to fill in the gaps where they exist.

Brightwork allows Developers to hook in one API ours, and then funnel that information through it to a dashboard where all that data can now be combined, better collected, and better understood.

Once you have the data you want, you can just hit the "Export Tool" which will then output your report in a very easy to use format. Brightwork takes all the heavy lifting out of data collecting.

Hope that helps clear it up.

Thank you for the feedback.

Brightwork makes it easier for Developers to gather data from their mobile applications.

What makes Brightwork different is really the ease of use of the dashboard. There are other API Management tools out there, but Brightwork takes the best of the available mobile APIs and puts them in one place for Developers to be able to figure out what's working and what's not working. Think Cloudability, but with data.

Co-Founder here. If anyone has questions let me know. You can get a high level overview of what brightwork is at brightwork.io.

First Pandora buys Ticketfly and now Conde Nast buys Pitchfork? My new prediction is that Spotify will be acquired by Proctor and Gamble.

This made me chuckle. I'm sure Twitter has made some missteps, but it's tough to let people go. They are putting just as much trust in you as you are of them. It becomes more tough as you grow, but the sting is still there. You want people to feel like they are worth something. And when you fall short it's a hit to everyone including management. I've been on both sides of these and people move on. This too shall pass.

It really does depend on the file. However, if we're talking about most 192KB music files, they tend to sound "tinny" or shallow. There's not a lot of depth to the sound as compared to quality you would get from a CD.

This has been an age old question since Mp3s were created. However, I'm going to disagree with you there on saying that CD quality = 192kb. I've heard 192kb files and they sound like complete garbage. If you're looking for true "CD quality" that would be LPCM 44100 Hz 16 bits stereo for a bitrate of 1411 kbps.

Couldn't we just use the flag Daffy Duck used!?! http://www.gargaro.com/webpages/general/marvin17.jpg

The irony is not lost on me that I'm reading this while I procrastinate on doing something I've needed to get to for some time. I forgive me.

This tip is the equivalent to "Dial 0 when you reach an IVR." Having been in Support in the past I can tell you there is nothing worse than having someone email some random Exec because you're not getting anywhere with Support. While I'm not trying to defend what happened here, I can certainly empathize. I liken to someone who has worked as a Waiter/Waitress. When they go to a restaurant they'll have more empathy for someone than someone that hasn't done that job. But yeah, they should have noticed what the problem was in a better way and, if things were escalating, either pass it off to someone else or let their Manager know things we getting heated.

If you really want a "pro tip" about Support, ask your Rep to inform their Manager. If things aren't going well you have every right to keep going up the chain of command. If that doesn't work, keep going. Somehow you'll reach the right Exec instead of just guessing.

Thanks for the feed back Denny.

1. In this case an API request would be GET and POST of data.

2. I'm looking for a range here. And this is just gathering data from an app. So on the high end think Candy Crush. On the low end, your everyday lower tier app.

I recognize the API design is a choice, but in this case I'm looking to find out how many API requests would typically be made to gather data for the most popular app vs. an everyday run of the mill app.

Thanks again!

I should have been more clear. I was looking at how many API calls a typical app would make when gathering data. Is it in the hundred, thousands? On average. Or that too wide of a question to get an accurate metric?

Congrats to the team. Good stuff. Hopefully this means a drop in price (wishful thinking).

I'm really trying to stay objective here because I do love me some Mixpanel. However, I'm curious what the response will be to someone with nominal Developer skills who outsourced their app, but sees this as an opportunity to save some money to get data. Seems like a poor experience from a user perspective to get this codeless product going.

This seems a bit misleading. You still have to get everything set up through your application and that takes some Developer knowledge. What am I missing?

LOVE this. So cool. Nice and simple. The way shit's supposed to be.

What a shit show. From the surface it certainly feels like this is just money moving from one entity to another with Craig sort of taking credit for donating the money. There is clearly more to this story that the journalist either isn't disclosing or didn't find in their investigation. It's not to say Craig doesn't have $1M sitting around to give, and I'm sure he'd back the EFF, but this whole thing doesn't smell right.
