Show HN: I made a travel website over the afternoon with Bolt
Whenever I visit a new city, its almost impossible to find the best places the city has to offer on Google Maps. I simply want popular places (say 1k reviews or more) AND 4.5 stars or more rated places. Google makes it so hard. So this afternoon I made a small app with Bolt just to do that. If you search a city, it will show you the best places with more than 1k ratings and over 4.5 stars. No...

Thanks for the input. We are trying to figure this out now. It should be easy to start a company, but more easier to close one down.

Yes, keeping a note for future. When we accepted the order, EIN was a 3-4 day process and suddenly everything went chaos with the covid impact. But surely a lesson managing expectations.

Thanks for the input! I am trying to see how we can solve this. I offered a $200 discount (our total price was $599) and they were still not ready to accept.

I am the founder of StartGlobal https://startglobal.co/ where we help anyone incorporate a business in the US, get EIN, bank account, phone number, and address. Recently we’ve been experiencing delays from IRS to get the EIN. IRS was shut down and they are slowly getting back to speed.Even though it was not our mistake, I think it was our responsibility. At first, I tried to design some...

Got it. My idea is to simplify pricing and just offer the core functionality and not too much distraction. Pricing is one reason I decided to build this. Agree about the free market. I was also more concerned about how existing products we know would influence our thinking about the product (even though I could see a few different directions this could go).

:) Thanks for the feedback. Will keep in mind! I was not planning to build an exact rip-off but rather thinking how existing products that we know would influence our thinking.
Ask HN: Is it ethically right to build product that might end up as a rip off
Two weeks ago we launched a product on Product hunt that went on to #1. There were a lot of new users coming in and asking for new features/feedback, we were trying hard to keep up with the requests (used Notion for a while to track). Then I found Canny (one amazing tool) and a few others. But all of them were a little expensive for us and decided to make one for ourselves to track and manage...
Re:Show HN: Cheaper lightweight alternative to Typeform

Noted! We didn't start out as a Typeform alternative. We just launched and had a couple of hundred users, and many user requests were making us more and more "Typeform" alternative. So I used the title. Anyway responding to your question, we had a few people tell us they don't like chat-bot experience, so we might give an option for the user to switch between chatbot and form experience. Thank you for the feedback!

Hi - here is a quick demo https://demo.toclient.com/ Very early stage, questions customizations in beta, can be used for customer Onboarding, lead generation, requirement collection, possible to integrate on a current website without much effort. Can you guys give it a try and send some feedback/feature requests?

Removed the initial intro, my intention was more to showcase the startup, progress and then how to go about next steps given my problem. Thanks for the feedback :)
I've tried cold emails, while they work many times, a lot of times good investors value intro over cold emails.
Would love to get in touch with your friends!

Ask HN: I am a deaf founder who never give up. How can I network and get funded?
I am shy with social anxiety and I almost always fail at networking during events due to both my medical condition and fear. On the top of this in the current world, everyone has a short attention span, everyone is busy, obsessed with being quick — while anything in life worth doing takes time.https://github.com/sievehq/Manual/blob/master/manual.md

I thought of like a version of cold emailing but more targetted. Just a little hack to get users. Not sure if this isn't ethical. But I am open to shutting it down if everyone thinks it's not ethical :) This isn't our primary product, just stumbled on the idea while I was exploring growth tactics.
