Great, that means there is a potential market for it. When Ford motors started cars already existed, when Facebook started social networks already existed, when Google started sear…

Which is pretty ridiculous given that everyone needs a social security number, and then if you ever want to rent or buy a place you need a credit score. Then if you want to travel …

Bullet Train ( https://bullettrain.co/ ) is a good Rails saas starter kit. Their licensing is pretty reasonable (you can choose an annual $500/year plan or pay $1.5k upfront to get…

Because the US government wants to maintain access to FBs data. Shutting down FB would be a big blow to surveillance, hence they will never do anything serious against it. They’ll …

I would love to be able to block all calls from Texas. Every day I get 5+ spam calls, starting at 7:30am, almost all from Texas. If I could block all of Texas, then 90%+ of the spa…

Is not that they can’t, is that there’s no money in it for them, at least not yet. At the same time that these companies don’t do anything about spam calls, they formed a consortiu…

Pretty much everyday I get 5+ spam calls, almost all from numbers with area codes in Texas (no idea why). The calls start at 7:30am. My number is in the federal do not call list. I…

There’s both. About the blacklist, I don’t know exactly how it works, who specifically has access to it or who can add entries to it, but I know it exists, I know people who have b…

YC has a blacklist of people and companies. Not sure what will land you there, but I know they have it and use it.

Of course not. In app purchases might make sense for someone that has an app once they already have a pretty good audience, but the issue is how to build that audience in the first…

How would you leverage in app purchases to promote a B2B saas product?

Good suggestion. Unfortunately Reddit is not that popular for the target demographic I have in mind (B2B in a Spanish speaking country).

I personally dislike FB. I don’t have a FB/Instagram/Whatsapp account and would hate creating one just to run ads. Unfortunately I feel like 90%+ of my target audience uses Google …

That is smart, funny and sad, all at the same time.

Even though I’m glad it’s back up, it sucks that it takes things being publicly blown up for Google/Youtube to do anything about their users/customers problems. Earlier this year m…
