Show HN: TallyCal – A Doodle alternative for group scheduling polls without ads

https://tallycal.com/

I was frustrated with many of the existing solutions for group scheduling due to being covered with ads, terrible UI, or a lack of features. In 2022, I built and launched my own solution. The app is 100% built with nocode (Bubble) and the goal was to be quick, easy, and simple for users. A majority of users are in education, staffing/recruiting, or coordinating social events. Below are some of...

Your pricing is pretty expensive compared to Bubble.is. How is your product different?

Is there a support community yet for Stacker builders?

Also, here is a good place to submit tutorials if this takes off... www.stakk.co

This is a great concept for musicians, however I’m sure it took awhile to build up the user base. Cool to see more niche music communities floating around the web. I run a similar site www.synthshare.com except for producers to get feedback on their music.
Did you run into any limitations using Bubble?
Any chance you'll be adding music as a category?
I've seen this app: https://www.trackreddit.com/ Is the difference that your app covers Hacker News as well?

FYI, the verification email is not a link.

This is very motivating. I am also running a site in the indie music industry as a one-man biz. (http://www.synthshare.com) It has been a challenge to build up the community, I'm sure leveraging Fandalism helped you kickstart your growth. Do you have any advice about user acquisition? Recently I've been getting feedback from music production communities which has all been positive and converted to users; however, it sometimes feels like the site isn't growing as fast as it should be considering all the positive feedback I've received.
Everyone wants to get feedback on their own music, but very few find the time to give others feedback.

Last month I launched SynthShare to help producers get constructive feedback on their tracks. The app is a 1 for 1 feedback exchange system. For every track you give feedback on, you will receive 1 feedback. The more feedback you give, the more you will receive. You can upload a mp3 file or stream directly from your Soundcloud page.

There are a few features to maintain quality feedback. First, users must provide at least 100 characters of feedback. Second, track creators can rate the quality of the feedback they receive which will affect karma scores. And third, I moderate all feedback.

Currently, you can obtain feedback from all experience levels. However, I am exploring ways to allow users to be matched to specific experience levels in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple follows the trend and introduces payments through imessage. They could make it pretty simple if they link it to Apple Pay/Touch ID.
Re:Changes to Linkedin API Developer Program on Thursday February 12, 2015 @04:01PM (#9041357)
It looks like they also wiped out their developer forum which was home to a wide range of questions and answers for specific API uses. It's too bad this is gone, it had some great content.

Does it support playing youtube videos like reddit does?
Nice work,how do you plan to monetize? Affiliate links to online travel agencies?
Re:Show HN: Crowdsourced salary prediction on Sunday March 23, 2014 @12:05PM (#7453789)
Thanks for the response.

I logged in today to find 3 predictions that were double my actual salary. Maybe if you include an option to add your real salary, the salary predictor bar only allows guesses within a specific range outside of the real salary. It might keep the predictions more realistic.

Also, I received an email confirmation from SalaryFairy. What is the purpose of this if I already logged in with Linkedin? Wouldn't my account already be verified if I have a Linkedin account?

Re:Show HN: Crowdsourced salary prediction on Saturday March 22, 2014 @08:57PM (#7451602)
I like the concept. Interesting how it's a game and provides salary analytics at the same time. I just added my profile but I will check again after a few people have predicted my salary to see the results.

I was bouncing around a few ideas that involved using the Linkedin API a few months ago. I have a few questions about Salary Fairy that may help me with my research...

Does Salary Fairy download a user's profile to the database? If so, I thought Linkedin required the user to grant permission to store the data in addition to just obtaining access when logging in. Is this still the case?

What technology stack are you using?

What type of hosting?
