Incredible stuff. "Instead of using a content management system for our content management, what if we used GitHub??"

Writing stories for controlled components has always been a pain in storybook. Either you use Actions, but your component doesn't respond, or you write a stateful render function a…

One of the things we're doing is encouraging our customers to reach out to their vendors to request it!

Heyy HN. We’re celebrating 2 years of Bend’s existence as a company and we’ve launched a new API to help you understand the climate impact of business activity, and/or embed climat…

I'm a full-stack developer that started my work on Bend using Rocket and then migrated to Axum. Would be very happy to contribute/be a part of a community initiative like the one y…

Thank you! We would love to have you try it out :)

Thank you so much!

Good advice, thank you.

I'm wondering if folks have any advice about titles for early software engineering roles. It's probably a 'more art than science' situation, but we're too far along to consider "Fo…

Just wanted to update the Hacker News community here that we just launched on Product Hunt as well! Y'all asked a ton of amazing questions here and if you wouldn't mind checking th…

I meant this turned the other direction lol

We have a large database of carbon intensity factors generated using government data from two different sources (the EPA and Exiobase). Comparing our merchant specific factors to t…

I don't understand what you're saying. Replacing a 10k cloud service with 100k of private server equipment would probably reduce a company's co2 balance.

We will never sell financial data.

+1, it also really depends on the offset (as to whether it's a scam or not)—like I talked about elsewhere, even our low-cost offset is a much more credible project than some of the…

We're huge supporters of a carbon tax, but there are significant challenges, both technical and political. If we had perfect information and the political will, I think the approac…

Exciting! Would love to hear more about it and chat all things climate-tech in our Discord server if you're interested: https://discord.gg/muGxr24U Good luck to you too!

Yes, $100/month is our Startup pricing. Enterprise customers have very different needs and multiple bank connections to manage, so we approach those case-by-case.

To be fair, I think a solution like Bend would help companies make the kinds of decisions your advocating for. "You can't improve what you don't measure," so Bend offers a measurem…

Good question! We don't currently consider payroll a carbon emitting activity. Generally we think of salary as paying exclusively for human-hours. In contrast, if your company paid…

Absolutely. Even though we have a fintech background and we're tackling carbon accounting from the angle of spend, we know how sensitive revenue and budget data are. Our business i…

From a regulatory perspective, yes, there's a lot of pressure being generated in European markets. In the US, another thing we're starting to see is pressure from procurement manag…

Thank you! There's not a ton of activity yet but if you wanna hang out with us and chat all things climate-tech, here's the link to our Discord: https://discord.gg/muGxr24U

Bend, Oregon? I'm from Seattle, but I've actually wanted to visit Bend for a while. Seems like a nice river town
