Out of curiosity, what does your startup do/what is it called? I suppose your comment itself could function as advertising.

That was a temptation, but I held off as my Show HN didn't get much traction both times I posted it, so figured it is best not to come across as trying to force it. It is however in my profile, if anyone feels so inclined..

That's not how you sell! Give me a link I can click easy :)

Trying my best to learn how different investment charts are drawn. The information out there is harder to find than it should be. Currently reverse engineering others around and using investopedia as a reference but I really wish there an educational resource for programmers.

So took a look. My first reaction is "meh". It doesn't really save me time or make my product more effective. It is like buying insurance. Also there are incentives to plug your ears and say you don't know about any breach. If you don't know then you have plausible deniability and don't have to report it.

So all in all I think you're gonna have a uphill climb in breaking into this market. It isn't saving me any time or making me more money.

How to run a bootstrapped startup as a single founder. I don’t have a problem with the tech etc. and those that see it and experience it, love it. However, that cliche stands true - marketing and sales are hard. ‘Cold emails’ feel extremely spammy to me, as I know when I’m on the receiving end they get deleted almost straight away. I’m working on content marketing (blog posts etc.), but that is a slow burn that doesn…

I feel my cold emails are spammy when the value I'm proposed is not a good deal for the reader. Either a still bad product or a overpriced offer.

React Native and its suite, including Redux/React. It's been a journey. Once I had to upgrade RN to use RNFirebase on Android side, all the dependencies started falling like dominoes. Right now - dealing with RN not building production, and RN+Android not creating JS bundle correctly. On the bright side, it's bound to stabilize, and I'm learning a lot about how RN works internally.

Exactly! I'm having a lot of troubles the last month (been working professionally for 2 years). I don't mind because I hope it will fixed soon and React 16 was an important move.
