This looks great! Loving the product. Does this store information from videos that I've watched as well?
What kind of site do you run that generates $1.5k/month in ad revenue? High traffic niche blog?

I only run 2 docker containers in a server, so I don't need anything complex.
I couldn't really fine a simple alerting tool, so I wrote a script that periodically checks if my docker containers are alive or not, and ping me on Telegram if one of them dies.
Wanted to see if there are less hacky ways to do it.

I have a couple of docker containers that I run on DigitalOcean.I want a simple tool to alert me whenever they die or if the app exits.Right now what I do is run a Python script that sends me a Telegram message whenever a container dies.Are there any simple, lightweight solutions out there? I do not need anything complex.

Whether it be a side project, your own startup, or your company you work at.What pain points do you face when using Firebase, and what do you wish could be better?
Do you work in the industry? How did you manage to reach out and get your first interested users / customers?
Do you happen to hire co-ops for these type of roles? I have recently had interest in consulting
There is TripAdvisor and SurveyMonkey
It is still on the blockchain. You just won't be able to see it -- or you can always throw up another page to display the data
What industry do you work in? I'm surprised there isn't a lightweight accounting software for freelancers / consultants
Where do you get your sources from?
I get an error message when sending to the email; is there an alternative contact?
Feedback to those applying: We scheduled a phone interview but got ghosted (no emails or replies as to what happened)
I've always wondered - what kind of tech stack is required to run a service like this? Would you classify it as a webapp?
How did you market your product? Im always very curious about how startups approach companies when they are developing a prototype
That's what I do as well. Except instead of React, I use Redux off the DOM. It prototypes fast and I don't run into any configuration issues
Maybe I'm a little too inexperienced to understand how this works - how does your app access Mailchimp without their permission? Are you using their API? Sorry if it's a silly question
Interesting. What exactly do you mean 'desktop app that integrates with a service'? Any examples?
How does one know what to build? And even then, how do you approach businesses to sell your product to?
I recognise your handle from the favesound react/redux app!
Oh wow, that'd be super amazing, and I look forward to that.
I wholeheartedly agree that advertising and acquiring users are the most important pieces, and also one of the hardest. Finding a niche and the market to go after (who do I approach? what do I say? what sort of problems can I solve that hasnt already been done? etc) has been a stumbling block, not to mention the fact that I'm far from technically fluent to spin up a basic prototype to demo.
As such I kinda put that aspiration on hold and decided to hone my craft in CS / programming in general, so that at least I have a solid, technical base to built off on.
Anyhow, I really appreciate your response and am excited to hearing back from you.
Unrelated point, but I would do anything (even put school on hold) just to be able to work with a mentor like you. Being a solo founder for niche Saas products is exactly what I aspire to be, and learning from someone who's been there and done that would be a terrific experience
I work in a blockchain company and I'm building a tool that allows users to vote on pull requests to be merged to github, all done on the blockchain.
Naturally reading this has spun some ideas in my mind - it would be cool to build a system where people are incentivized to respond to issues, and having it on the blockchain removes a lot of the trust issues that comes along with payouts and rewards.
Any thoughts on this?
I recently created a website similar to this recently at a hackathon. I considered setting up a payment system but decided not to as I didn't think people would actually pay for something like this... curious to know - over what period of time did you make the $300?
Where / how did you reach out to these sponsors? I run a website in the travel industry and would like to add some advertising on it as well
Is there an email I can reach you at? I can't message you on LinkedIn as I need to go premium
