I loved simple, have used them for ~10 years, and gotten 5+ people in my circle to use them, they were the greatest. But at a certain point simple's budgeting system breaks, once you have another card. I would make payments per transaction on my CC to maintain that tagging data within Simple for reporting.

For years I was left unsatisfied with a tool that managed expenses with multiple cards and I found it half a year ago in CoPilot: https://copilot.money

Great app and handles internal transfers (ie payments to a card or another account) with grace. Smart rule system, recurring transactions, etc. Mint on steroids. Highly recommend for people like me looking for tools to replace simple.

Note: I am in no way affiliated with CoPilot, just found them super useful for that function as Simple wasn't hitting it.

Great team with an excellent product that was able to re-position extremely well during the current COVID era. Hats off to all at Density.

Worked with this team ~8 years ago when in college at my first startup and they were a consultancy. Smart people who I learned lots from when starting out and always enjoy hearing their continued success.

Ah thats pretty cool! I made https://snow.watch that gives 10 day forecast snow reports via SMS.

Wanted to do a second angle on it, see you did travel which is pretty sweet. I assume those are affiliate links, wonder what % are buying flights?

Back in college I made an application similar to this: http://mymanual.herokuapp.com/ (sorry if its slow or broken, unmaintained for ~3 years).

I had to do an input for each device and tag the ports so the logic in the application can create custom setup guides.

I applied to around 100 jobs over the course of 9 months when starting to learn how to program. For the startups I would get to a phone screen and potentially a technical challenge then be turned away. At the job I am at now, was contacted by CTO online, and had phoned/on-site/started within 5 days of initial contact.

I've seen a bunch of blog posts recently about some companies priding themselves on who they turn down versus who they accept and I feel that is one of the bigger problems we have as an industry in hiring.

One click to get customer feedback, connected directly to Stripe. Easy to get feedback and reach out to customers about to churn.

Not really, I lyft to work often and its $5 each way door to door.

There is a free app that has the same basic functionality that came out a few months ago: http://noiz.io/

After using both there is a very large brick wall that prevents usability of kimono labs on most well-known web applications (airbnb, craiglist, etc). Example is data extraction from content visible via hover (airbnb calendar pricing) which ParseHub is able to handle.

Thanks a lot for building this, I am excited to save server costs/time from scraping data for projects.

Was unaware that is all thats needed to transfer a number. Thought about porting a number to Twilio, then to have 2 phones which one would have to pay for and just switch the call forwarding.

I'll check out the sim card solution, thanks for the info!

By taking out a sim card you don't remove the risk of physical damage to your phone. By replacing a $10 phone with a $600 phone you can eliminate the risk.

I've had the idea for a while to allow users to own a dumbphone and smartphone and be able to switch them back and forth easily to receive your main #. Smartphones are so expensive and I don't need the functionality over 50% of the time so it can cut down the risk of breakage by just bringing the flip phone instead.

May 2013: Graduated from college with marketing degree and started to learn to code. (Blog post here: https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/being-over-your-head-2c187f3e1f31)

September 2013: First paid gig after completing 2 personal projects

From my first project to my current ones I increased my rate at $5 a month for any new projects that I signed. It has gotten me to a livable wage from coding within a year. As of now I charge $120 an hour and even if I don't have 40 billable hours a week I can still get along. The key is be around people building things. They will inspire you and help get you projects. Luckily a few of my friends started projects in college so my first 6 months of client work was easier to adapt to. After that referrals started coming in and the business started to grow at a much more serious pace.

I created a graph to display the data that I pulled from the poll around 10pm EST on 6/2/13: http://glacial-island-9881.herokuapp.com/
