Not him but me. Email Gsuite and Mailjet for transactional emails. CRM is Hubspot CRM.

Same here. Email CRM and DevOps i.e. db hosting etc...

Email using GSuite and Mailjet. Mailjet isn't good. Their customer service is really bad for their paid plan. I have delivery issue and am still waiting for their reply after 2 days.

Great article. It will be great for the Angular community if it is Angular + Stripe. It is so hard to find one for Angular + Stripe. A good one like how you wrote it.

Ask HN: SaaS founders how often do you get requests for buying your source code?

Posted by jbchoo on Friday May 08, 2020 @05:43AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I got one request today.So yesterday P emailed us using @gmail.com email account requesting for a demo. In the email, P claimed to be from Athens, Greece. That's fine, we are based in Singapore. We can figure out our time differences.Today I had the demo with P over Google Meet.Mid-way through the demo, P offered to buy our source code. I'm skeptical of P's intent because it's coming from...

Fight on. Take on the competition. My suggestion is to take a good vacation break and re-energise. After which, take on the competition and emerge stronger than your competitors. Fight on!

One of the comments has a great point: "You won't get THAT much cash for it, and you might end up at a engineering job that doesn't suit you, with golden handcuffs so you don't leave."

Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to Loggly and Papertrial? on Monday October 03, 2016 @01:15PM (#12629321)
I am the questioner of this post. More specifically, what client-side javascript log management would you recommend for React or Angular?

Alternatives to Loggr?

Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to Loggly and Papertrial? on Monday October 03, 2016 @01:49AM (#12625672)
Thank you for mentioning these. Have you come across any blogs or articles that compare these service providers? I am interested to know how people make their decision who to go with.
Re:Ask HN: Alternatives to Loggly and Papertrial? on Monday October 03, 2016 @01:45AM (#12625665)
Log analysis. REST call to these log management services. Error alert. What else more should I consider when assessing a log management service provider? Do you have a list/approach to how you would assess log management service provider?

Ppl in Singapore work minimally 44 hrs/week. And generally ppl work way more than that minimum req. If the claim system you asked would be implemented as world standard, I think most singapore residents would be over the moon, rushing to update their resume now.

It's nice seeing people suggesting abt being mindfulness. Although I didn't read this book, but I understand what you mean here. Nice recomm.

Since we are talking about this, just a little reminder for interested ppl, it's more important to practice meditation than only reading any book on mindfulness.

Meditation is mental training. Understand it by practising meditation. Also for us to note is that negative thoughts are a defilement of our mind, abandon it :)
