Looks like a great concept! I found the price relatively high compared to other solutions on the market, aren’t you concerned that you’re touting “affordability” as a selling point?

One purpose of the free market is to deliver the best value to consumers at the lowest expense possible. If a company is making excessively vast profit, then there isn’t enough competition making a cheaper product of the same value to the consumer.
‘Excess profit’ can be argued as the free market not working. Profit has no value to humanity if the system doesn’t deliver on other promises.
Not all these have a viable business model, but they’re not obsessed with growth and brokering user data.
BetterHelp isn’t free at all, it’s actually fairly expensive; so one could argue they should not need to phone in your data to so many third-parties.
I pay my therapist for their services, assuming there’s a high degree of confidentiality in our relationship. These apps, even paid ones, behave like any other app in terms of data sharing.
And not to mention that some of this information might be covered by HIPAA?
I particularly disliked Fleet. It resembles VsCode in looks, and that’s a very bad thing for me. No sense of hierarchy, of what matters, of what tools I actually want to see and where they should be.
But then I’d say the same for Apple and its software.
There’s a very good number of forums still alive, proving they have some resilience to show for themselves. It’s also a form of distributed resilience, i.e. one forum going down isn’t as bad as all of Reddit.
Eh…
You can choose which version to use, same with Cloudflare’s 3 different DNS choices.
When you look at sources of compiled research such as Examine [1] or meta-analysis [2], the science on IF/TRE isn't yet solid enough to back more than the weight-loss aspect.
I am so glad that I picked Linear for my startup. You folks have been consistently responsive, helpful, and keep delivering features that matter. It’s been a delight after a decade of Jira and the gang.
3) Also yes. We tried to get on Scaleway’s Startup Program but were rejected. OVH took us in, but I had so, so many problems with different tools… Their customer support wasn’t helpful, so I felt this permanent anxiety about the next thing failing with our infra. GCP was the ‘least bad’ choice given our constraints are complexity and cost, while still keeping investors confident in the tech.
I loathed my time on the other large providers, even if GCP feels like a 5/10 choice for a small company. I’d love to use Digital Ocean or Scaleway, as they seemed better suited to smaller companies; but sadly we couldn’t make the relationship work.
If you don’t have to deal with compliance or record-keeping, why not pick one of the 2 providers I mention above? They’re much better for ‘hobbyists’, super usable.
I just realized you were asking about larger companies, but I’ll still post the reply in case it helps.
Of course then you look at our nuclear neighbor and it’s hard to forgive the rhetoric that made us energy dependent in the first place.
Inflation is wiping out my savings. I didn’t have much disposable income left after basic expenses, which was okay considering I’m in a EU country. But gas first doubled, and now tripled from the already high price. Electricity went up a bit. Food got a bit more expensive, but I mostly buy grains, fruit, and veg so I’ll live.
I’ve no major expenses left to cut after switching providers where I could and lowering the boiler. It’s not that bad though, it’s still a perfectly good middle class life, with enough comfort. Doctor visits are still 4€, the apartment is cozy, and everything will be okay; but I don’t know how the lesser privileged are going to handle winter.
