Can you share the name of the startup?
Very handy! I had visions of you sitting licking envelopes shut every night lol

Are you making $500/month, or I'm guessing a little more than that?

That's really interesting - Do you do all the letter-sending yourself or outsource that?

always find this argument so weird - The amount of people who can create music and find an audience now vs a decade ago is exponentially higher; subsequently, the market price of a song has fallen and Spotify pays accordingly.

Except now, as an independent artist I can get easier exposure on Spotify and build up more income from live shows, merch and whatever else as a result. My closest fans will still often buy from band camp, or buy a vinyl or whatever. Except now I have a ton more fans than I could have reasonably achieved in the iTunes era

And the distribution of wealth has stayed relatively similar - huge artists (The Taylor swift’s of the world) continue to be minted, small unknown artists continue to make a comparatively tiny living - except now many, many more people can make that living and stream music

I’m in my 20s and have been through the 3 day hospitalisation process NINE times so far - I cannot stress how huge a deal what you’ve built is for me

The amount of hassle and anxiety this will save me is impressive on its own, but so to is the ability to have a normal lifestyle (such as going out for a drink) without having to worry about whether or not I’m always in range of a hospital that I want to spend 3 days in if I’m unlucky

Thank you and good luck!

Super interesting thread, I've always heard lots of doom and gloom about this on Hn threads but seems that there's been a pivotal step forward in the field with these new superconductors

Can only imagine what the world would look like with a limitless energy source like this.

Anyone see any reason not to be highly optimistic about this development?

Ironically, even this Outage page is out for me
I keep a list of the best of the best for these tools, aimed at the absolute non-tech end of the market

https://nocode.tech/category/internal-tools https://www.nocode.tech/category/app-builders

Lists include both SaaS and self-hosted options

Great rec, thanks !!
Love the fact you can click Zoom etc links straight from the bar, thats super handy

Would pay maybe $2-3/month, $10 just seems way too heavy right now. Maybe in future for your whole SaaS notifications piece and I can see the value if it essentially shows me all of the valuable things going on in my business and nothing superfulous , but sadly $10 I can't justify for just the calendar

Yeah, you would need to use something like Pug.js to render the data.

As an alternative (and possibly easier imo), you could add custom JS code on Webflow (it has an embed function) to hook onto its dynamic list functionality and add your own data inside.

In other words, create a list on Webflow with one item in it designed the way you want the final data to look. Then use JS code to override the data on that page with your own data source and to duplicate the list item as many times as you need for your data source

This may be a useful reference: https://cmsdocs.webflow.io/

Finally, I’ve not looked at this much but it may help: https://www.nocode.tech/lessons/building-user-authentication...

Hey, I run Nocode.tech and can probably give some advice here - No perfect answer sadly but a few to try

First, Worth noting you can export Webflow as code and rehost it wherever you like if that’s helpful. BusyWorkHQ hasn’t launched yet I don’t believe, but it’s a backend builder for Webflow and may help you solve your problem by letting you connect a database/api thru to Webflow. @PatrickStolc on Twitter is building it

Have a look at Adalo - They have the ability to replace their backend with an external database (it’s a little bit tucked away but it’s there). The downside is that the front end parts aren’t as freeform as Webflow. They’re more focused on mobile but support web apps too

You may also be interested in React Studio, Wappler or UIBakery

Would love to hear more about the mind of brands/foods you ate with no sugar. I’ve attempted this before and it’s extremely hard to find products with 0 sugar! Guessing you avoided the local Tesco?
I really enjoy Courier, one of the only magazines I still get excited to read each month

Lots of stories about founding small tech and non tech businesses across the world, from DTC brands to restaurants to delivery companies. Always great stories about how founders got through a journey, intersped with top quality advice and tips. And celebrates lots of folks who do a craft just for the sake of it. Delightful read

Yes - Got one I bought a while back and am looking to sell on, can give me more details if you email [email protected]

Re:Ask HN: What have you built with no-code tools? on Monday April 06, 2020 @06:38AM (#22792441)
I wrote https://nocode.tech. It show cases NoCode tools and projects (meta, I know).

May seem simple at first, but you'll see it has more complicated features like:

- Tool searching/Filtering - Commenting - Complicated form to select tools from a database-generated list - Login/User System - Avatar Generation from API

Really interesting concept! One of those "how has this not been done before?!" idea!

Seems hard to scale, which isn't necessarily a problem, but I'm wondering:

1) How are you accessing audience data? Is this by scraping their insta or youtube or something or are you directly accessing accounts? Given an account is literally an influencer's livelihood, I can imagine that would be especially risky for them?

2) How do you relate audience products to data? Are you saying, for example, that if an audience is 50% metropolitan females aged 18-24 then it is likely they would purchase beauty products? Or do you go more in depth?

3) And then as a result...how do you intend to scale that? Machine learning?

Anyway...love it!

That's worrying! Will do
Looks brilliant!! Have signed up with https://aidem.network as this is perfect for us and potential my sister company. Was going to use Orchestra by B12 but this is a much better package for us + no code
Re:Selling My Bootstrapped SaaS Business (2017) on Wednesday November 20, 2019 @03:53AM (#21582216)
Around 2.4 million - possibly higher depending on the mechanics and industry of the actual business

Typically it’s ARR x 4

Can you mention the subject of the site? Would make it much easier to give a specific answer (and as someone with a content website which is profitable, I think I can give a decent answer)

Aren’t coffee shops just seeing this as yet another PoS or interface to manage? How are you making this easy to integrate into mom and pop shop processes?

Struggle to see how you can scale without nailing that!

This is a game changer - I don’t think enough fintechs focus on simple legibility of finance and this execution is simple but powerful

Signed up for sure!

Notion.so Cannot recommend enough

I mean its not open source but its also 5 guys in a garage and not a giant megacorp
