same!

Whats the tech stack for the iOS app?

I've never used it, but https://nodered.org/ seems interesting.

Its definitely worth it, if nothing else its good practice, and identification of your weaker parts (they cover a wide spectrum) would be super useful.

Also, you would be given an option to schedule a practice mock test for the final interview.

Yes, this is spot on.

For optimizing the top of the funnel, one approach which has worked well for me in the past is to use LinkedIn to connect with EMs who are hiring (they are looking for people like you), friends at other companies & and also accept invites from 3rd party recruiters. Good 3rd party recruiters can specially be helpful in reviewing your profile, and finding good fits. In the past they've helped me discover some very interesting companies. Getting referrals via TeamBlind is common as well.

Also keep in mind that hiring tends to be seasonal. Companies are generally very aggressive at the top of the year, and by Oct-Dec things do slow down a bit (but this is not always the case, for example if a company raised some $$$ in that period). In the past I've avoided applying to postings which are more than 3 weeks old.

You could also try services like TripleByte, which flip the funnel, and help you go directly go to onsites (there are some caveats though).

For the tech rounds, it's just more practice. Unfortunately the interview process is heavily biased towards people who practice, and has little to do with your actual abilities - and you are competing against such folks. For that I've found Pramp, interviewing.io, leetcode, educative (the grokking algorithms and system design courses), GH system design primer, (our even services like Outco.io) etc. to be very useful. The good thing is that atleast in SV these bits have become fairly standardized now, and if you spend time preparing, it significantly increases your hit-rate with everyone.

They don't seem to have an API?

VoodooPad, with web export.

I'm waiting for a resolution on H4-EAD. Thats going to be a very important factor for me (since my spouse depends on it).

Hi! I have been looking for something, its awesome!

Apart the main use-case, I'm also trying to figure out how to fit it for this use-case – For a specific URL I would like to capture all requests made from the frontend app (JS) in production to the backend, and then replay it for a local version of the frontend.

Not sure yet, but it seems to be due to AWS (S3 likely).

PayMill doesn't have a credit card vault. So it can never be or provide the same features as Stripe.

Wasn't this posted and trending on HN just a couple of days ago.

Point noted.

The max. duration of an auction is 3 weeks.

* There is a guard against the situation you mention. What name and amount did you put in?

Here is what I think happened:

There was an auto bid of a higher amount placed earlier by 'K'. You placed a bid successfully. Then 'K''s autobid kicked in and beat you.

* The widget does not update immediately. Your bid gets queued, and then executed. If another bid in the queue beats you then you get an email appropriately. Once your bid has been executed (in the background), the widget will update.

Yes, I had thought about Dutch Auctions earlier. Currently though, the system supports 'English Auctions', the bid engine is pluggable so doing such a thing should be easy ;).

All I need is one paying customer asking for it, and it would happen.

Yes, a ticking countdown timer could be a good idea. I'll certainly keep folks posted

Yes, the idea is that you already have a page and then you embed this button.

Much like those PayPal, Stripe etc Pay Now buttons

Got it

It is completely usable.

I've not done a good job of showcasing the buttons in auction.

A staging page with buttons embedded is here -

You can use a test card - 4242424242424242 to make a bid.

Hello people, this is a side project which I have been working on. The idea is really simple: To run an auction on your website, all you have to do is embed our button.

Any feedback etc. would be great!

Looks good.

However to actually use it in a neat app, it better be stylable via css and support localization(Month-Day-Year etc), otherwise we'll have to resort to a JS option most of the time, like is the case with styled selects.

There is certainly a theme to their emails.

Critics of this style say that lengthy emails are bad, and that their length does not convey extra information.

I would like point out that there is a email writing style for office use and a different one for customers.

While its shorter, I think its very bullet pointy - if you know what I mean. The original text reads more fluidly as if it was a conversation. Even though its longer, it has a sense of personality - making it more readable.

This was a night project which I built in a couple of months. I wanted to be able to auction things from my website, and didn't want to use eBay for various reasons.

I am not sure if such a thing is actually needed by anyone other than me, but it was kinda fun building. I'm going to use it for a couple of things and market it a bit. It may live or die based on the general enthusiasm.

Feedback/comments are welcome as usual.

This is a timely thread for me. I've been working on an idea called Auctionful - http://www.auctionful.com . Its still in an early stage - but you can signup and use it if you want.

* It lets people run auctions on their website.

* It ensures that the seller gets paid for the winning bid. The payment details are stored in a credit card vault when the bid is made.

* It uses the seller's account Stripe account to manage all payments.

* It verifies the seller's phone and email. And in cause of disputes, both parties are expected to resolve it themselves.

I've been incorporating feedback I've gotten so far to change the product, so feel free to comment on it.

Thanks!

Instead of taking place in our office over two days, the online version takes place over the course of a month. You pick a project of your own. This can be anything from your personal site, to a side project, to something you’re working on at your job. Each week, we release a pre-recorded video on a design topic and give you a workshop to apply to your project. Throughout the week you work through the workshop, emailing us questions you have along the way. We then hold office hours via group chat, where we have a group critique of your work.
