Hi, very disappointed with Lastpass, and no longer trusting any cloud password manager, so what are the options for a paid or open source password manager that:1) has multi-platform, multi-device support, and2) has the ability to store encrypted password vaults in user-defined 3rd-party cloud file storage like Backblaze, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 etc. much like how Arq Backup and...
Hi guys, I built Flixeye: http://flixeye.com as a side-project for watchlist notifications of streaming movies.Until now I was using Netflix' OData API for movie lookups, but with the recent API changes[1] OData will be retired, which would break my little app. To make it worse, Netflix is no longer issuing new public API developer keys.I was wondering if someone can share/transfer their...
Hi guys, I've built Flixeye: http://flixeye.com - a watchlist notification app for streaming movies. It's a side-project I made to basically scratch my own itch.If any of you are registered on IMDb and use their watchlists feature (http://www.imdb.com/list/watchlist), then please try out my app and share your feedback (@flixeye).Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, I'm in need of some advice regarding my startup. We offer simple annual plans for subscription. We feel the price is right, as we've been seeing a gradual increase in paying customers.To track our online sales funnel better, I've been monitoring the usage statistics via some simple Google Analytics Goals. What this has brought to my attention is that many users are looking at our...
We were thinking on similar lines, for an offline marketing strategy, which by the way, we haven't utilized at all.
Thanks.
Althought our service is completely automated, still internal process automation has been our core initiative. While we haven't been able to achieve as much as we wanted, but we did streamline a lot of our processes.
While I can't share specifics of our operations due to privacy concerns, I can share some general thoughts ...
I've had a series of 'startup setbacks', but this time, I guess the one main thing we did differently was: to build something that people are not only willing to use, but also willing to pay for. We saw plenty of examples where people loved to use stuff for free, but didn't find much 'value' when it came to paying for it. If someday Gmail went paid, a vast majority of users will not pay and move to other free email services. So our challenge was to mould our idea into a 'product', not just a fancy application.
I guess the other reason we saw some success was because, although our product has atleast 10 competing services, but we focus on simplicity of use, which I think attracts a lot of Web users these days.
And yes, we didn't give up, even when things weren't going well. I kept saying to myself: whatever happens I'll not pull the plug.
We still have a long way to go.
Hi guys,Two years ago, we launched our startup (all previous attempts didn't even last an year). It started out slow, but picked up gradually. Today, its one of the top 3 web services in its 'genre', in terms of traffic and market share.We started as a free service, but moved to a 'freemium' business model last year. Our revenue comes from paid plans and advertising. Our monthly revenue ranges...
