Small Improvements | Full-Stack, Backend, Frontend | Berlin, Germany | Hybrid or Remote (living in Germany) | Full/Part-time

https://www.small-improvements.com/careers/senior-software-d...

We're looking for a senior full-stack developer/engineer. We're using mainly Java (with Spring) and TypeScript (with React). We're a small and bootstrapped company. The engineering team puts a lot of weight on continuous learning and always challenging the status quo - that's the only way we can get better as individuals and as a team. All engineers get a lot of space and trust so they can always do their best.

Small Improvements is a performance management tool (features include Objectives, 360 feedback, 1:1's and Performance Reviews) used by over 750 companies including Zapier, Duolingo and Soundcloud.

Please apply using the link above.

Great idea! This could be the next Product Hunt (which has gone to the dogs AFAIC)
Outseta might be what you are looking for? I'm not affiliated with them, I have my own product PriceWell but we only integrate Stripe and you'd have to use something like Auth0 for user authentication.

Show HN: Shopify for Your SaaS App

When ever I start a new side project, I find myself building marketing landing pages, user registration and Stripe integrations instead of focusing on the core product. I've been thinking for a while that there should be a better way, a service that handles all that for you (for a flat fee or percentage of MRR). I'm talking about a no-code app that will give you a landing, pricing and signup...

Re:Ask HN: What do you need to build an MVP? on Tuesday September 03, 2019 @03:44AM (#20864408)
Some ideas for starters:

- Detailed description of the final product - Description of the MVP functionality (we can also help with that) - Specific technology requirements

Ask HN: What do you need to build an MVP?

Dear HN,I'm thinking about a service for wannabe founders to hire freelancers to build their MVP.My idea is to ask prospective founders to write a future press release for their product (popularized by Amazon).If you had to build an MVP for someone what would you want to know?

I think you aren't focusing on the real pain point for your users. I think the pain you are solving is: "As a small business owner I want to be top of Google but not have the pain of updating my Facebook and personal website because I'm not technical and have no time". I'd verify this with customers and market the service that way.
Great idea. I moved to Berlin recently and I will definitely try it out to complement my lessons. Maybe you could try partnering with businesses that buy lessons for their new employees?

One tip, it would be great to have subtitles on the intro video so I don't have to annoy others with having the volume up.

The first screen "wtf" has no meaning for me, I almost closed the browser immediately. After scrolling to the next screen it makes much more sense.
Re:Show HN: A list of beautiful outdoor places on Thursday March 15, 2018 @11:32AM (#16593708)
Agreed. I can't decide whether to go to these places without a nice description of them and why they are so special. I really like the concise information like cell phone signal btw!
Thanks. That's the next step. This "Show" was just to gauge interest before building anything (as our implementation requires actually setting up logistics).
Interesting research. Thank you for your feedback. Australia isn't our first planned market as you might have guessed :)

There's still logistical issues to sort but we've got something up our sleeve :p

Initially there's no choice of beer, we plan to roll out such options if demand dictates.

The overheads are very low actually. Shipping cost is the biggest one and we're actively working to keep that to a minimum using local carriers where possible.

Yes we are sending actual bottles of beer.

A creator adds a "Buy me a beer" button to their website/content.

You (as someone who loves their content) clicks the button, pays $10 through Stripe/Paypal. We send the creator a bottle of premium craft beer on your behalf.

A real reward for their work!

I'm really asking for feedback here. Trying to gauge the level of interest in our offering. Is this something you would use yourself?
Hey, I'd love your feedback on this. Especially which countries we should support for creators first.

I pitched an idea to the rest of the company. They loved it so much they asked me to implement it. We've officially launched today! I'd love feedback from the HN community.
