Just out of interest, is this a US based product? I'm in Australia and most of the major banks have this as a built-in capability in their apps.

I have friends in the Abingdon area and the primary objection, from what they've told me, is that locals objected to a reservoir that would mainly be used to supply London. Little …

I invested in Small Robots Co ( https://smallrobotco.com/ ) who were doing something similar. They had a good product, good brand, raised some funding, and were starting to get tra…

That's what I was concerned about. They're all charging $29-$99 to list on them and there's a risk that they harm my SEO. Good point about timing. Sometimes I forget we live in the…

I've built a SAAS application and am now working on marketing it. There are a growing number of directory listing sites that claim that that listing on them will boost your "domain…

Completely agree. An infinite canvas sounds great until you need to find anything, then you end up with having to create a structure to it, and you rapidly end up grouping stuff in…

4 year old Lenovo laptop here, 16GB RAM and SSD. Bootup from cold is around 5-seconds, everything is pretty snappy even with lots of browser tabs open and VSCode running. Never had…

I'm building SiteSentry: https://sitesentry.app It checks your website for the kind of things that get missed when you go from dev to production or can go wrong later - expired dom…

Every proposal I have seen kicks in after $100m. That's a level of wealth where even paying a 5% tax is likely to result in an annual net increase in wealth, as when you have that …

Shameless plug - StaticForms ( https://staticforms.co ). It's not free because I want it to be sustainable, but also because it does more than just capture form data and send you a…

Exponent, a weekly podcast covering a topic from Stratechery, Ben Thompson and James Allworth on business and technology strategy. Friday Night Comedy from the BBC. If you like sat…

This is a great service and Troy gives a lot to the community generally.

I've been using this a lot recently and love it. Fast, simple and VueJS-based so easy to extend.

I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so Application Insights gives me most of the server monitoring, but you make a good point about checking 3rd party services that I have dependencies…

That post makes really interesting reading. I'm hosting on Microsoft Azure, so I'm hoping they have a lot of that stuff covered, but I guess I need to dive in and make sure.

I have uptime monitoring in place, but I’m worried that there are other things I should be checking regularly to make sure my site is working as expected. What would anyone recomme…

Am I the only one still using it? Seems like a sudden decision with no explanation. Shame - I still like RSS as a way of getting updates from people and sites I follow.

I think an RSS feed would be great too. I use Digg Reader and just headlines, or headlines and key facts (revenue, founders, etc.) would be fine.

Depending on the nature of the application, you may be able to sign up for Microsoft's BizSpark program. That includes $160 of credit for Azure per month for three years. That woul…

I like this idea in principle but I struggle with the idea of charging someone to use an experiment. My personal feeling is that once you take someone's money you have an obligatio…

I'm great at starting projects but terrible at getting as far as launching them. I've developed a couple of SAAS applications as far as getting beta testers but then not launched. …

My concern is that whilst they think they are doing their job, the people paying them don't think they are doing it well enough or doing enough of it to value it. I'm seeing more a…

I agree, curiosity and passion are something you either have or you don't. As an industry we need to improve our capabilities and continuously demonstrate our value and a subset wh…
