    I've saved so much time using CommonPaper at my company. Many agreements are still negotiated, but even the cover-page concept makes it that much easier to understand what is being…

    Congrats on the launch Michael. I dreamt of this back when I was an SE at RJMetrics :)

    We've been using CommonPaper for our contracts and NDAs since we started selling. It's been super useful during negotiations and makes it way easier for clients who don't have lawy…

    As far as I know, the APIs TOS are for 'apps' in slack, which this isn't. This app runs on top of a database that has messages. Getting message data into the database is not agains…

    Hi, app author here. When I wrote the readme I wasn't expecting anyone to think about it outside of my company. You can host this on Heroku, that's what I'm doing. Just make sure t…

    That's roughly the amount of time it takes for our coffee pot to brew 12 cups of coffee. So it posts immediately that a pot is brewing to save people a walk to the kitchen, and aga…

    Thanks for the question about this. For some context we drink a lot of coffee at my office. We have two pots (bold & light roasts). People never know when coffee is ready or brewin…

    I can see how you feel that way. The way I saw it, I made a joke to my friend, and took it too far by making the joke reality.

    Hey, I take offense to this comment ;) Just kidding of course being rejected is a great motivator for some. Having devs reject ideas inspired me to learn to program, and realize th…

    Thanks for the thoughtful response and resources. I've done some of these, like emails, and started/stopped others. I'll look into the podcast, I can never listen to enough :)

    I've thought about that. To keep on heroku free, I removed churned clients data. I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

    Ask HN: I have a product that makes tens of $ a month. What should I do?

    I built a CRM for Petsitters after my sister complained about how her $99 per month solution was bought by a competitor and decommissioned. I didn't know much about programming but…

    When I was cramming for the series 7 (in a different life), I would use spreeder.com. I would cycle through chapters and pretty much memorize them before moving on. When I tried th…
