Have you tried AutoEntry? Might be the solution you are looking for. https://www.autoentry.com/

Patrick, how do you approach reconciliation at Stripe?

There's data that disputes the couple of hundred million to break even story.

“The key finding of the survey is that these managers can be profitable at a small size. One third of managers surveyed said they were profitable with less than USD50 million. We therefore dispute the claim that you need USD200 million or more to break even. We think there is tight evidence that you can do it at a lower AUM number,” asserts Capstick.

Breaking it down by strategy, the survey found that global macro funds need the most assets to break even: USD132 million, followed by event-driven (USD108 million) and multi-strategy funds (USD98 million).

A bit like the problem dating apps have, the more successful you are, the more churn you create.

Once a group of friends come together they'll get a house share of their own instead of sharing with strangers. Probably be cheaper too. Have they modeled for high churn rates in their already thin margins?

A premium service leaves your very vulnerable to the tide going out on disposable income. The co-living space will be left with higher long term leases they can no longer service. I really want to figure out a way to short services like WeWork at a 16b valuation.

This is a great partnership and I can't wait to see what comes next.

I've watched and enjoyed reading the Buffer story since the early days. In fact it probably played a small part in my path towards quitting work last summer and starting my own thing.

I'm considering doing an 'Open blog' for our enterprise start-up http://www.fundrecs.com like the guys did with Buffer.

Trying to weigh up whether it would limit us or enable us to do more. My gut is saying go for it but my co-founders aren't convinced.

Alas, what could have been an interesting discussion reduced to over analysis of some guy calling some other guy a cock.

Really nice work Kushagra - I'm looking forward to your blog post.

ThetaBoard looks great, well done!

The model that seems to be working for social collaboration software and what Trello has announced, is the majority of user features are free while admin/control features fall into the paid version. Yammer's business model is not too different with admin/control features at the core of the paid version.

Organizations are willing to pay for control while users are less willing to pay for features.

If you can get widespread adoption by free users there's increased pressure on Management to signup for the control features. Someone else coined this as "Enterprise sales by the backdoor".

We're looking at a simliar model with http://www.taskmessenger.com

* edit for spelling

should be ok now?

I'll have a read of this later

What would you add or change on previous apps you've used?

We launched http://taskmessenger.com in January. It's a shared to-do list for personal and team use. Sign up is free and if you need any features or help getting started drop me a mail at alan@taskmessenger.com (I'm a co-founder)

We have a search function for keeping track of tasks, an activity feed showing tasks completed while we also track stats such as tasks shared, picked up and completed.

lol, glad you got a laugh :)

I love building sites too and I find it even more rewarding building on top of Bootstrap.

While it's not rocket science some of us enjoy a little help. Don't take my word as gospel, it's just an opinion.

I don't do this for a living yet but hopefully one day soon...

totally agree that it should be the baseline.

I have signed up for your beta :)

Thanks, yes it's Wordpress. I've installed that and removed the couple of images which seems to be helping.

Winding a 10 day old baby and keeping a site up while on the front page of Hacker News isn't easy.

Can anyone help me keep it up?

Sorry richo, trying to fix now :(

You could give our newly launched application a try. We're working hard to be a twitter for tasks/teams.

http://taskmessenger.com

We're not really addressing the mailbox problem with http://taskmessenger.com but instead focusing on the transfer of tasks within teams via a shared to-do list of available team tasks.

We're hoping to reduce the need for emails and at the moment are trying to be that second tool after email.

A 'twitter for teams' is a way someone described Task Messenger to me recently.

Thanks for the catch on the register link. That's been fixed and will be released shortly.

Best of luck with finding something suitable.

We don't limit team members. If you sign up before the end of our Beta you'll also be able to create unlimited teams. Our Team chat feature would be useful for collecting and responding to team feedback across multiple projects.

Feel free to mail me directly if you've any questions: alan@taskmessenger.com @AlanMeaney on twitter

We've only launched Task Messenger but I like the sound of auto ranking tasks, something to go on my 'to-do' list. You could always give us a go. We're building a to-do list for teams.

Related: evolving to-do list is what we're working on with TaskMessenger.com, we've just launched.

Thanks for the feedback. We're really focused on facilitating teamwork. It's normally something intangible and we're trying to make it visible which will hopefully in turn make it contagious.

I will take a look into how a one-off fee model would work.

Once off pricing is interesting. We're allowing users of our new application to create two teams for free. Deciding on pricing is really tough. Should we follow Asana/Trello and go free for everything or come up with a paid plan?

If any fellow hn'ers get a chance please feel free to stop by and check it out.

www.taskmessenger.com :: We make teamwork visible :: @taskmessenger

We're building a web app that is very close to this workflow. Main principal is you can share tasks from your (private) todo list to the team (public) todo list. Team members can see available tasks and pick them up when free. Our tag line is "We make teamwork visible"

We'd love to have anyone interested sign up and we'll give early Beta access in January.
