The moment I clicked your article and saw Preceden, I realized this is exactly what, I didn't know, I needed because some online coding competitions require you to submit a timeline.

already upvoted it. unfortunately it won't work without the APIs because it needs to be part of our product and there the data is constantly being updated dynamically by different actors / processes .
Noted - thanks for the nudge to work on it!
What I can tell you is that sales people at big software companies never say 'No it can't do that' as an initial conversation. They would say something like, 'I'm sure it could do that. Let's set up a call to get your requirements straight'. He might only need a subset of your features, and the api needed could be trivial. He might have a $moneyisnoobject Corp waiting to pay.
I mean you are completely within your rights to push away non-core users if you want.... but you know when a saas price page has Free, Basic and Enterprise teirs, and the Enterprise one has 'please call' next to it? That is because the price for customization is too embarrassing for both parties to make public!

Didn’t downvote you, but i assume that yes, most people here are able to understand that human life is complex, and that we should congratulate people whenever they’re doing something good. Most people are, fortunately, also able to distinguish between a soldier, his army policy, and the regime ruling over that army at a given time.
I disagree that we should congratulate anyone whenever they do something good, no matter what they did in the past. Would you blindly congratulate a participant in the Bucha massacre on the launch of their new app? Would you congratulate a former ISIS member? Surely even the most amoral person on HN would draw the line somewhere?
I mean, neither was her choice? Soldiers go where they are sent.
Or do you think people shouldn't join the armed forces of a country in case a future regime deploys them in a way they disagree with?

#105A product built by an ex-soldier who was part of an occupying force that committed countless war crimes? No thank you. Question for other HN users - would you use a product built by an officer of the Russian army who was part of the war in Ukraine? Edit: Those downvoting me, did I say anything that is not true?
to say it another way:
veterans should never be ashamed they are veterans, the government and voters should be ashamed they're creating veterans.

#107I quit my job to focus on the side hustle full-time back at the start of 2020 (back when we all thought it was going to be like any other year).
The hardest and most stressful part by far was renegotiating boundaries with my wife. Being physically around one another all the time, and having no set hours is a recipe for relationship woes. Having our first kid during the lockdowns (we're in Melbourne, AU) didn't help either.
Almost 3 years later, life is great, but for a time there it was the worst it had ever been. Make sure to take the time to negotiate boundaries, as all problems become work problems when you run your own business.

#109Congrats and thanks for sharing, as an aspiring SaaS bootstrapper and father there’s plenty of headwinds so nice to see people sharing their stories piloting through them.
