News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Cool. Love the product. Gives developers a lot of flexibility.

This is some quite clever marketing. I definitely learned a lesson or two. I built https://natterGPT.com (which is a similar AI phone bot product but not as flexible in terms of how I packaged it) more than a year ago but I've struggled with marketing (especially when I don't have any budget). I'll copy this playbook in the future for sure!

You are right. We'll work on some demos. Thanks for the feedback.

Show HN: Managed WebSocket without vendor lockin

https://myws.dev/

While I was building Neeyer (https://neeyer.com), a location based social app, which I'll do another post later. I found it hard to find a managed Websocket service without vendor lock-in. So I built myws.dev and been using it for my app.I know this is something I'd use myself (and I AM using it). So I hope this helps you too focus on your own app instead of infrastructure.

This allows customized flows based on username/email. From what I've seen, there are mostly two use cases 1. different flows based on organization e.g. Microsoft Office 365 2. different flows based on guest vs user so the website can capture the emails if it's not a registered user e.g. tumblr
Re:Hacker Makes $360k ETH from a Flash Loan Single Transaction on Saturday February 15, 2020 @04:55PM (#22338267)
I don't understand why this is considered a hack.
I found this idea really interesting and I completely agree with you that stores want insights / actionable data instead of aggregated metrics.

Maybe start by focusing on one specific field (grocery store? fashion?), or become the technology provider to enterprise clients?

If flight capital from China really were the only/major use case, most of these people would probably convert at least 50 percent of their bitcoins into a different currency once they moved the capital overseas. However, nearly 99 percent of the transactions are paid by CNY. These look more like domestic transactions to me.
Need a lot more info. You need to find data that answers the following questions: 1. Any major changes/events within the past 6 months? (or, is your product still as good as it was 6 months ago?) 2. Any new competitors? Any existing competitor had a major update/upgrade on their product? 3. How is the industry your product serves doing? 4. Any (strategy or metrics) changes on marketing? 5. How are your customers doing?

Also, it helps a lot to schedule some calls with customers who left.

That's awesome! You might also want to rethink what your market is. Is your users going to be engineers who build web app for their company, engineers who build their side projects, some developer-designers or maybe some technical product managers/product engineers? You can still catch all of them eventually, but in the beginning focusing on one or two groups might help quickly get more users and also help on morale.
You are essentially building a marketplace so you'll need both suppliers and consumers. This is hard because one side relies heavily upon another. Typically, you need to boost one side first and then the other side might catch up. In other words, you need to build up either 1) the consumer side (say, if you can make this app so easily to use that people will love it despite a poor supply of UI components) or 2) the supplier side (for example, if you can somehow import 20k React components from npm or github to your marketplace)
