The whatsapp app part does not open whatsapp just opens the App Store, deep links are tricky to get right,. Feels like a strange choice for a signup form /waitlist

I think in different industries you will find varied applications and use cases.

Obviously biased as a founder but we are enjoying helping shoppers save money with Shnap Visual Search for fashion - https://getshnap.com

Re:Ask HN: How should we spend spare GCP credit? on Sunday May 10, 2020 @07:46AM (#23131909)
I’m really interested to know how you got the credits in the first place!?

I have been trying for a while now but finding it difficult to find anyone to speak to at GCP.

It’s for https://getshnap.com

Is the website supposed to appear and the chat is an overlay? How does that work
Re:Sydney couple launch 'Google for fashion' startup - theurge.com on Wednesday November 13, 2019 @11:18PM (#21532739)
@bgdkbtv - After spending 5 years in the industry, watching how people shop, Google does not solve the painpoint when you are trying to really hunt down a specific item or style of clothing.

This becomes clear when you look at some of the ways shoppers go about finding the items they are looking for. A great example is the FindFashion or the FemaleFashionAdvice Reddits:

They have over 1m users who are actively looking, discussing or trying to hunt down a piece of clothing.

Google images is currently the next best thing, but this contains a whole load of junk too.

What we are doing at https://theurge.com is curating, on a very broad scale, the best brands and stores from around.

Disclaimer: I am the founder and therefore, might be biased :)

Re:RFI: Request for Input on Wednesday July 03, 2019 @12:54AM (#20341681)
I have spent the last 9 months so heads down and focussed on the urge, that coming up for air is kind of scary. Showing the urge is to the world is nerve-racking and the questions from family and close friends like 'So, when are you launching' or 'how is work going' is possibly the most daunting thing ever.

However, it feels like we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel as the user growth is growing every day and we can see shoppers finding the fashion they are looking for.

The purpose for my post was to get some feedback and input from some people that have possibly worked in the space, been there done that, or just want to let us know what they would want to see on a domain specific search engine such as ours.

the urge | fashion search engine | t-30 days | Sydney AUSTRALIA | fullstack & Backend | REMOTE, INTERN & FULLTIME.

We are hiring for a full stack developer (python, go and JavaScript are our go to languages)

Females find it far too difficult and time consuming to find the clothing they want to buy online.

We value speed and simplicity over features or animations.

Maybe the small companies that are happy to employ ‘junior’ developers struggle to find them in the first place. We are hiring @ theurge.com but not sure where to find junior talent. Please email us if you are interested in roles in Sydney Australia.
