How was this so urgent that it required sleepless nights for the team?!

Ask HN: Agencies/MSPs, how do you manage VPN access across many clients?

Hi HN,we're a software development agency with several clients scattered across Europe. Due to the nature of our products many require to connect to the client's VPN to offer assistance and perform maintenance. Most times we can't install our own VPN.This has led to some of our devs needing to manage more than 20 different VPNs, all with different clients (sometimes with incompatible versions,...

Re:Ideas are cheap, execution is cheaper on Friday January 16, 2026 @03:29AM (#46644326)
Actually novel ideas are very rare and very valueable. That said you can build a perfectly viable business with not a single original thought. I.E. a restaurant or a clone of another business.

I'd split execution mainly in two: Building Selling

Building, barring some possibly extremely hard technical challenges, is not as hard as people make it to be, and LLM are definitely a huge help but I would never call vibecoding an entire application "Building a production ready SaaS".

Selling or, to put it better Product/Market fit, is what's actually very very hard and where most ideas fail.

Tado is currently testing (and apparently fumbling the rollout, as some users are already locked out) of a new subscription of 1£ a month per household. Without paying for the subscription you will apparently lose all access to the app and its most basic features, such as room temperature control and scheduling.

Isn't this what turbolinks already does?
Re:The depressing reality of your startup failing on Sunday May 06, 2012 @02:03PM (#3935755)
The name isn't related at all to your product, it's rather confusing. "Ranking" is in no way relevant to your service. Either choose a random name with no familiar meaning associated or choose one that is more appropriate for what your app does. I also agree that the tagline should be more clear. Also, you got some things wrong: - A HN post (or 2) isn't a launch, how could you expect people to flock to your app if they don't know it exists. Promote it properly; - Launch =/= your first day, first days usually suck.

Keep going anyway, the idea is not so bad, although i think there are some other services out there that do pretty much what your app does (but again, that can be said for pretty much every startup :P)
