I live in 36 since 15 years or so. Wasn't as lucky as you :)
My primary concern with establishing a company in Germany isn't the bureaucracy—it's the unreasonable exit tax. This tax feels like a trap because it's levied on the company's valuation, not its revenue, effectively anchoring businesses to Germany. I'm curious about the preferred destinations for entrepreneurs looking to avoid this issue. Do most opt for the Netherlands or Ireland, or is there another popular choice?

This is exactly why I wouldn't want to switch from my Kinesis 360 Pro even though I would prefer the low profile switches and maybe the thumb cluster from the Glove80. I just love the build quality of the Kinesis 360 Pro.

I haven't had any bluetooth connectivity issues with the 360 Pro since ZMK 3.
Cool product. Feel free to reach out at [email protected], if you want to chat about push notifications :)
In terms of speed, at least when we look at mostly single-threaded work load (like most dev work is), a M2 Macbook Air is faster than every Desktop PC. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Re:Show HN: What do you think of my new social app? on Wednesday February 02, 2022 @06:50AM (#30176341)
I tried to sign up on my iPhone and it didn't work.

I think this is a great idea. What are your strategies to make users to bring their friends?

Thanks, I adjusted the landing page a bit. I hope it makes the goals of the app clearer.

Really appreciate your suggestions! Some things are just hard to see from the inside.

> Also nothing should be priced at $4.99/year, I don't care what it is, if it's worth $4.99 a year then it's probably worth at least 20x that.

Would you still increase the price if the main competitor with the biggest market share is already cheaper (one-time payment of $5)?

Sorry to hear that. Did you try other platforms on which you didn't get suspended?

Did you have to tune your Google ads campaign before it worked or did it work for you from the first try?

Because I just want to finish that one feature before sharing it ;) Jokes aside, I just don't like the idea of spamming communities. I probably should do it more often though.

Were you able to make your Google ads profitable?
Re:Marketing is scary for a solo developer on Monday December 13, 2021 @08:02AM (#29539167)
As a solo developer (https://simplepush.io) that hates marketing as well, I often find myself trying to make use of paid ads. Probably because it is easier to spend some money than writing a good article. However it hasn't really worked for me so far. Wondering if other solo developers had some success with paid ads?
Re:AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review on Thursday November 05, 2020 @02:12PM (#25000992)
So far my thinking is that I'll go with the 5950x since it's more or less on par with the 5900x for gaming performance but has slightly faster single core performance. Also more cores are nice for running tests.
Re:AMD Zen 3 Ryzen Deep Dive Review on Thursday November 05, 2020 @12:54PM (#25000318)
So should I get the 5900x or the 5950x as a programmer who likes compilation-heavy languages like Scala and Haskell and that also play games?
Shameless self-promotion: I did something similar for Android called Simplepush (https://simplepush.io). However be careful: one of the features (Simplepush events) is currently not working on Android 8 or newer.
Re:Making the move from Scala to Go on Wednesday January 25, 2017 @04:29AM (#13480004)
Can you elaborate on why you think that Clojure has a higher level of composability than a static typed language like Scala?
Re:Ask HN: Recommend an introductory course on compilers on Sunday December 25, 2016 @06:52PM (#13256081)
I recently began with https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Engineering/Compilers/...

Until now I think it is good (I'm in the second week of the course).

I wrote something similar in bash and put it into a docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/simplepush/alerta

Just running this docker image on a server you want to monitor is enough.

Instead of Twilio it uses Simplepush (https://simplepush.io).

This is pretty cool.

Would be interesting to know how much revenue you are making so far.

https://simplepush.io Easiest way to send notifications to Android from the command line.

No registration, unlimited notifications, send messages via curl.

I made it because I like simplicity and all other tools were overly complicated (require registration and so on).

Thank you for the feedback. Detail view is in progress. Copying totally makes sense. Good idea.
Re:Ntfy: A utility for sending notifications on Saturday August 27, 2016 @10:29AM (#12372480)
I think pushbullet does that.
Re:Ntfy: A utility for sending notifications on Saturday August 27, 2016 @07:59AM (#12371977)
Funny to see this on HN since I just released an Android App called Simplepush (https://simplepush.io) which qualifies for what Ntfy calls a backend.

Let's see if they accept a PR to list me as an additional backend :)
