Small businesses use 10+ apps to run their operations. CRM, project management, invoicing, team chat, reporting - all disconnected. Besides this, they don't have any system in place. That's why we offer much more than a SaaS PM tool, a business OS.Built specifically for 5-150 person teams (not enterprise bloat) Plug n play setup Priced like a single tool, replaces 5-7Try it: aqtos.comQuestions?...
The bet is that all-in-one is the next wave of business apps as business owners and operators are tired of juggling many different single-puprose tools and chasing data all around... Our play in that game is Aqtos BOSS* (Business Operating System as a Service). After a year of testing with design partners and few select clients, we are ready to try it on the real battlefield.Free trial...

Kudos for the idea and execution, it's awesome :D
Off topic, on the question about my plans... I started cooking three years ago and that turned out to be an awesome mental exercise and mental well-being routine that takes you away from the screens.
1) It has many mindless tasks - chopping/cutting etc so your brain can still dream, 2) With advanced techniques and recipes your brain is completely shut-down and you have to be present in order to do something good, 3) Once you get to know the basics, cooking boosts your imagination as you can start combining and changing things your way. 4) teaches you patience, especially if you start baking...
Just start cooking and thank me later. + you'll eat healthier
There are some good industry practices that should be taken in consideration - the mom test etc etc, but in general I'm believer that you should take your own path, define your audience and find your channels.
Stop feeling the FOMO and just build a good product, talk honestly to customers, experiment with some channels and see what happens.
Mr Beast rules YT. It doesn't mean if you replicate his steps how he got there you will also. Same with all the startup funders who exited and got famous. I call them the "startup elders".
Take in the advice, listen, but decide and don't blindly replicate.
We started rolling out beta for our startup after three years in stealth-mode - so that goes beyond initial logic of launch yesterday and send an MVP even if it is wireframe bla bla... I say f*ck that Bitconned shit (see the doc if you haven't). Our playbook is to find the right audience within our pace, get some very good users that really want to use the platform. Don't push things, just be patient and build and do right.
Let's see what happens, all these "trust me bros" that share huge MRR numbers doesn't mean that they built good and sustainable businesses...
The biggest question here is isn't Amazon using their own AI to filter and rate basic things like titles and flag them and etc....
When you submit URL: NH offers few general categories in a mandatory field. OP chooses most suitable. Homepage provides filters: ALL / CAT1 / CAT2 / CAT3.
Nothing drastically changes, but helps with content consumptions significantly. For example, I might be interested only in hardware stories, so I'll click on the HARDWARE cat/tag whatever.
It would be extremely helpful to have some basic categories: tech, economy, world news etc. on the homepage that you can filter by.
