I presume you've done this already. But make sure you run all windows updates.

http://Cronitor.IO is a great service. Helps me sleep at night. Thank you for building it.
Someone who could test different marketing channels and tell me which ones worked and which ones didn't. Would be more of a productized service. Once you found a good channel I would pay you a ongoing monthly fee to keep it maintained and re-test other channels.

Nice site. Good luck.

You keep mentioning transparency and low set price per month. Yet I can't see the price on your website. Put me off straight away.

Re:Ask HN: Multiple Gmail Inboxes on Wednesday August 03, 2016 @05:35PM (#12221726)
Ideally want to keep them as separate as possible as some are for personal and others for various businesses/ventures.

Ask HN: Multiple Gmail Inboxes

Does anyone have a extension of know a way of viewing all gmail inboxes in 1 window? On mobile there is a option to view "All Inboxes" but not on web. Don't want to go down the route of forwarding from one inbox to the other.

Re:Ask HN: Add “www.” to my domain, or not? on Sunday July 31, 2016 @05:26PM (#12198965)
Personally I've been ditching the www but either is fine. Pick one and stick with it, don't mix and match. Always use https.
I would rather pay for something knowing it's actively maintained and less chance of it going away.
Re:Ask HN: Any SaaS idea to share? on Tuesday June 21, 2016 @06:41PM (#11950033)
Not having a decent mentor. Self taught working as a solo developer. Don't know what I don't know. If I had someone to peer review code or bounce idea's off then I could have progressed a lot faster. If I could start again I would join a development team and learn from developers with a lot more experience.
I have a plugin for Outlook - http://appointmentreminder.info/outlook-calendar

Desktop apps make you think a lot more about the release cycle and minimizing potential errors before releasing.

Re:Ask HN: Your Passive Income Suggestions? on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @11:23PM (#11031966)
We have gathered heaps of feedback from the two customers, but I take your point. Landing page should be written by someone who knows what they are doing :)

I had two separate unrelated customers ask for almost exactly the same system after not being able to find an existing solution that meet their needs.

Thanks for replying!

Re:Ask HN: Any open source alternatives to intercom.io? on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @10:13PM (#11031741)
I'm looking for a cheaper automation system. Startup with not many customers. Starting point seems to be $49 for most of these companies. Drip, ConvertKit, Intercom etc

Re:Ask HN: Windows VPS/dedicated server on Monday March 02, 2015 @11:01PM (#9136027)
Why do you need a VPS? Can you start with shared hosting? I've used https://www.softsyshosting.com/windows-vps/ for VPS before with good results.
Re:Ask HN: Shall I run my own adserver? on Tuesday September 02, 2014 @05:00PM (#8260118)
I would run all the Ads through DFP so you can then track performance. https://www.google.com/dfp - Its really easy to setup. You can then also run adsense for any outstanding inventory you're not using.
Re:Show HN: Spoffer – Not just another deals site on Saturday July 12, 2014 @05:06PM (#8025790)
I didn't really understand the 'how it works' video, I 'subscribe to a business' and then what? Do I get emailed with offers or do I need to go back to the website to see new offers? How are you going to get people back to the site after the first viewing if you're not going to email or connect with them on social media?
