I have 2 rehearsal rooms for musicians, with good acoustics and some basic music equipment. There are 10 bands sharing the rooms and paying monthly giving me 500$+ with ease. I will do more as the market for such places in my city is not saturated yet.

I disagree, "affordable" is newspeak for "you're able to afford it", I don't want something that's merely affordable, I want something that's cheap!
> I disagree, "affordable" is newspeak for "you're able to afford it" eeeh that's always been the meaning, what's newspeak about it ? What do you think the "afford" part of "affordable" is for ? > I want something that's cheap! That's ok, but then you probably don't want something that's "high quality" like the OP mentions, "cheap" is newspeak for "low quality" Anyways, this is marketing 101
Except, this is software, there's just about no correlation between charged price and quality.
I can sell you the same piece of software at different prices and it will be exactly the same quality.

Not sure if the website is broken, but attempting to book 2 people and clicking a time does nothing on iOS Safari. It might be worth looking at the analytics for device distribution but I presume iOS is the bulk of your traffic, si probably worth optimising it.
I noticed this too. I think it’s because those time slots are not available (if you choose a date a couple months away, you’ll be able to click there time slot). The solution would be to print “No availability” instead of disabled time slot buttons.

Yep, print and ship myself. The shipping can definitely be expensive for a single sticker depending on where it is being sent to but I charge anywhere from $15 to $25 per sticker (all original art and I think that’s why I can get away with the higher prices) so shipping doesn’t dent into that too much to not make it worth it.
Do you use any sort of stiff backing to prevent bending?
I do payment processing on the side and help friends, family, and referrals with getting the best deal and use the best tech, kind of like a broker. I'm still blown away how many businesses in the US still make people tip on a receipt. It's ridiculous. I can do deals in Canada and USA. Shameless plug, but if you are brick and mortar store or restaurant / bar. Contact me. I'm launched closed beta for a very very niche…
What's ridiculous about tipping on a receipt?
And please I make money on the transaction not the fact that you tip on paper.
Also, why do your server have to take my card to go swipe it behind some counter still? Portable devices exist. Use them. I do not want to let you handle my card.
Current situation. Server comes to your table and I ask for the bill. Go back to the POS, get the bill. Come back, I want to pay with card. Either they have a portable machine or they don't. If they don't They take my card then bring it back with a tip slip too.
Now imaging a server comes to your table with a payment device that can handle everything from the above. No more going to POS system to cash out. Need bill split, done, need pay at the table done. Need to calculate change, done for you.
Saves so much time and at the end of shifts you don't have to consolidate receipts. Just make sure cash float is correct and you're done.
As a customer in the US recently. Restaurants and bars still didn't accept tap and pin. Tap speeds up lines and table turn over so much that you wouldn't understand until you implement it.
Rant over.

Wait -- why do I need Hammerspoon to trigger an AppleScript that I wrote? Actually, now that I think about it, isn't this easier to do: 1. Write the AppleScript (done) 2. Save it as an app 3. Assign a right-command to that app. 4. There is no step 4.
Hammerspoon is needed because App Store apps are sandboxed and can't focus specific windows, can't run arbitrary scripts and AppleScripts. What that gives you is the ability to map Right Option+letter to specific windows or tabs of the currently focused app. So in your case you could do rcmd-s for Safari then ralt-m for mail tab, ralt-h for HN tab and so on, and it can also open those tabs/windows if they aren't alre…
I've used Windows at times, but I don't miss window switching beyond the above use cases.
The app makes ~$1000/mo.

People just don't care about their data...
Ding, ding, ding! This is correct. I was just ranting to my wife about this. Haha. I always wonder, “How are these random companies able to convince folks to just give them personal data like that?” And of course, I already know the answer: Practically speaking, most folks don’t give a damn about their data! That’s unfortunate. (Well, not so unfortunate for the companies collecting all of it and their data brokers!)

> I get to say I am a co-owner in a Mexican horse ranc You must get business cards made and start distributing them to friends and family whenever you get the chance. Not for marketing - to brag and to be able to be mildly annoying.
We must work with the same people. I work with a guy who would devote dozens/hundreds of hours to this project just for the business card opportunities.
