This is my story of Postiz doubling its revenue in one month. Feel free to ask me anything.I saw an opening Postiz is traditionally an open-source social media scheduling tool. In August, I started seeing something interesting: new YouTube videos about how people are automating their social media with n8n.First, I thought it was cool, then I saw a pattern. Many people opened "Skool" groups on...

Show HN: GrowChief โ€“ open-source social media automation tool

https://github.com/growchief/growchief

So happy to introduce GrowChief (AGPL-3).Growchief is an open-source social media automation tool (aka social scraper). It allows you to create a workflow (step-by-step) for interacting with different social media accounts, such as sending a connection request, following up with a message, and so on. Unlike other platforms, GrowChief does not work with search criteria. You'll need to specify...

No :)
I started gitroom.com - open-source marketing, around 9 months ago. And while it's still a small niche, I see it's growing like crazy. The last batches of Techstars and YC are full with open-source companies!

Well 2023 is finished, so I guess 2024? :)

You give value in the end. People do enjoy the competition and win prizes

It's because it was released on my blog (Gitroom), so it's the same title. It fits mostly open-source companies :)

I believe if you put really high prices like the big tech companies, you will get it!

Ask HN: US LLC and Thailand Taxes

I have gotten conflicting answers from different international lawyers and accountants. I am a tax resident of Thailand (foreigner) and am forming a US LLC in Delaware.I plan to use my business credit card as much as possible for expenses. Bring some income to Thailand every month and pay taxes on it. And move some of the money to a personal bank out of Thailand as a dividend.I got two...

This is interesting! Do you know any payment providers that work with them? BlueSnap / Paddle etc? How much did it cost you to incorporate?
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @04:17AM (#38671527)
I was thinking about that. I had a friend who had done it.

I know people suffer a bit from Rapyd after the acquisition

Honestly, I think my biggest problem with the UAE is that I am Israeli, and while the situation with Israel and the UAE us good now, how knows what will happen in a few years from now

I think you need to have some business in Hong Kong to open a bank account there. But that's ok, you can open a bank account in a different country.

I have head quite much about Wyoming! What's the difference between Wyoming and Delaware for LLCs?
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @04:06AM (#38671460)
Isn't it the opposite, it's better to have an LLC if my clients are not from the US?
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @04:05AM (#38671451)
The setup fee is so high, that it's basically an exchange for the taxes haha! I also understand I need to pay around 90 days there.
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @03:52AM (#38671387)
I guess he means if the US entity employs you. Then you will probably pay this + the rest in your home country if there is a double taxation treaty (and taxes are higher).
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @03:49AM (#38671382)
I think so too, Just trying to see also other alternatives
Re:Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business on Sunday December 17, 2023 @03:47AM (#38671370)
Interesting! Thank you for the answer. But taxes seem quite high. I am aiming to incorporate something more like an LLC without paying corporate taxes - it's not far than what I pay for Delaware (21%)

People don't talk enough about depressed founders! That can really leads to a mental illness

Ask HN: Where should I incoporate my business

I am an Israeli living in Thailand - I recently removed my tax residency from Israel.I have an old C-CORP (Delaware) in the US that I created a few years back as I thought of building a big company to get investors and other founders - the more time passed, I bootstrapped stuff and made it very profitable as a single-person company.C-CORP for my scale and intention makes no sense. I am...
