My wife built https://www.jummbo.ai but she doesn't have an HN account so I'll share for her. Jummbo takes the "umm" out of prospecting in B2B sales. It makes it really quick to fi…

TLDR; We want to get free users to move to paid plans sooner, by (a) relaxing sharing limits, and (b) reducing the amount of pages you can create to 3 unless you upgrade. Existing …

I taught myself to code, started in 2010 after 10 years in IT infra/networking. I’m not a professional developer and it’s a hobby for me - I did a humanities degree with no comp/sc…

I started doing an MBA at a top Australian university. I won the top student award in digital marketing. I found that I was spending most of my time carrying other students rather …

You’re spot on!

expo.io

Agree, but my needs are simple and I develop using expo.io. So once my app is published often minor changes can be pushed straight through to my app without App Store approvals. So…

My needs are simple enough that the standard inclusions in expo.io work without complication. I could imagine more complex apps need a more involved dev setup but not in my case.

Expo.io is good enough for my needs. Cross platform, just run it on my iPhone and and android simulator. Also, the way expo works is that not all updates need to go through the App…

expo build:ios actually. My only need for a Mac with expo is for the upload. The apk file is taken care of with the command above. I have an iPhone I use for development and testin…

I’m always developing without xcode. Using expo I can write apps in react native on my desktop and vscode. Mac only required for the upload to the App Store.

Interesting. The deciding factor for our family when buying a Mac or Windows 10 device for my wife’s small business was actually my need to upload iOS apps for review by apple. I’m…

I really admire Google, but they have become notorious for their “fast fail” mentality and product sun setting. No matter how good this may be I don’t trust google to not close thi…

Looks great. Is there a way to submit other apps?

Read the “challenger sale” book. I’m 20 years in tech sales and it’s easily the best way to get started. Also - sales is 1:1 conversations. Marketing is 1:many. That’s the easiest …

The job title “account manager” says it all. That is a 100% sales role. So don’t expect deep technical expertise. Any assistance rendered will be to grow the vendor footprint.

Put on an old James Bond movie from the 60s and let my mind slow down a bit once I’ve done all my family and household duties. Or fire up flight simulator 2020, which has just been…

This is interesting - I couldn’t determine how they train them system to recognise all the products though. Flavour variants, special promotional packaging etc make training hard d…

For a simple and less feature rich option look at Jimp to see if it will do what you need and you’re programming in JavaScript. It’s a breeze to use. I’ve used IM and GraphicsMagic…

A market with no competition is a monopoly. They are characterised by extremely high barriers to entry. You are better off finding something you are passionate about in a competiti…

I recall ServiceNow use a single tenant model, not multitenant like most other SaaS apps. I suspect (but am no authority on the subject) this means a dedicated database per custome…

I built https://www.provedore.com.au -> a way to find local producers who sell online and deliver to your door.
