Not bad but Sherlock Holmes is written from the perspective of Watson, not Holmes.

Hey Philip,

We store north of 2PB with AWS and have just committed to an agreement that will increase that commitment based on some competitive pricing they've given us.

Give me a shout if you'd like to chat.

I am pretty sure this is copied from a blog post i wrote a long time ago[0].

I know this because he's used the illustrations my brother drew for me by hand...

@author: you've also missed the point of my article and why I think an MLP is worth considering.

I love this idea.

Allow people to generate a share link or add an email address and Taaalk can email and email inviting them to join the discussion.

I love the logo - great work!

I write a blog (https://nichesaas.co) about ideas for SaaS Products. The reason I started the blog is because so many developers I know struggle to come up with _good_ ideas and stick with them.

Some things that have helped me and my friends in the past:

* Set yourself achievable goals or milestones so you feel like you are making progress

* Accountability is also a great way to stick with something. Tell your colleague you'll send them a link so they can check it out and then commit to putting it up.

* Choose something you're interested in.

Often the hardest part is starting. One trick I used in the past was put a syntax error in my code. I would also leave a comment there with a small task just to get into it.

    e.g // implement GetUser()

Mine is https://nichesaas.co

I think you should read my blog because I invest a lot of effort into researching my posts. Each post outlines a well-researched idea for SaaS Product.

It contains mockups, research, a strategy on where to find your first 10 customers etc

This is a great point. It’s a premium product that people will buy simply because they like nice things.

I’ll buy one because I like buying new/nice things and the fact that for $1200 I’ll get a lot of value out of it, due to how much I use my phone is an added bonus.

This is definitely not a compelling upgrade for many people.

I wrote a short article on how I find ideas: https://tinytracker.co/blog/how-to-find-profitable-business-... Hope this helps :)

This is awesome! Added it to all the public pages of https://tinytracker.co - thank you, @dieulot :)

Fully fleshed and well-justified ideas worth hell of a lot.

"Fully fleshed and well-justified ideas" are worth 100% of $0.

Execution is everything. How you implement and execute the idea is what sets you apart.

You should do it in modular architecture: if first one will not take off you will have ready to use components for the next one.

This is actually really great advice! I sold my previous side project and still had lots of reusable code to use for https://tinytracker.co

You already know what your programming language strengths and weaknesses are. You can make decisions for your first product iteration already. Are you going to start with a web app? You probably already know what language you want to use.

I think if you are thinking about programming language strength and weaknesses when building a product you need to rethink your approach.

Building a great product has very little to do with technology choice, especially at the beginning. Building a great product is about solving a real pain for your target customer and solving it in a novel and delightful way.

It seems the NY Times have been going pretty hard after FB, recently. Does anyone know why this might be?

My brother and I built TinyTracker(https://tinytracker.co) after getting frustrated with Jira. We're not charging yet but we have a handful of businesses happily using it who (I hope) will come on as fully-paying customers once we get out of beta.

Just want to second, https://indiehackers.com is a great site!

We do stand ups once a week on Monday morning to get everyone on the same page and focussed for new week.

Each time a different dev runs it, chosen by the person who ran it last.

Our stand ups are one of the most mentioned things in my 1:1s as everyone likes to hear what other people are working on.

We then do a retro on Friday afternoon, sit outside and have a beer and chat about what worked and what didn’t.

Not strictly agile, but this works for us and everyone is happy and productive.

We use TinyTracker (https://tinytracker.co) with 6 technical support, 3 customer success and 20 engineers.

“Careful calculations conclusively showed it wasn’t enough for a mansion”

It would be awesome if the community could contribute ideas!

Surprised there wasn't more Class1.cs

If you want to find experts, a great way to grow that side if the platform would be to approach people on freelancer and upwork.

You would be able to grow that side of the business super easily!

Just an idea, and good luck!

I wrote a fully featured ATS last year that is currently for sale: https://flippa.com/8808403-growbeam-com

Seems like there are a lot of people in this thread who might find this relevant.

This is really cool, congratulations on shipping!

Have you thought about simplifying the UI by changing "Forks" to something like "Twists" or Takes (as in 'my twist on' or 'my take on').

We all understand what I fork is but the average user will likely get confused, and not just because a fork is a kitchen utensil!

It's interesting that they're still using the default ORM. Stranger still they're letting the ORM scaffold tables (?!?) now they're at this size?

The reason BitCoin has spiked is because it is the most supported crypto currency and the easiest to get hold of when setting up your wallet with a bank or exchange.

There has been and influx of people trying to buy Etherium but first they need to buy BitCoin.

Thanks - submitted!

Hey this looks great - but this is what I see in Australia: http://imgur.com/H62UBYE when I search the appstore.

In my mind, there are three really standout things about being a software engineer:

1. The multitude of small wins that you get throughout the day as you solve problem after problem, all from the comfort of your chair while you drink coffee and listen to music.

2. Creating something from nothing, not unique to software engineering but it is super satisfying to see something that didn't exist before start to form in front of you.

3. Whenever I see some one do data entry or some other laborious task, that I can automate in under 15 minutes, it makes you appreciate the fact that I know how to solve this problem in a more efficient way. People dismiss this because they don't understand that it takes me 15 minutes to write a program that inserts 1 row or 1 million rows, the work stays the same, this is not true for manual labour.

No hate, I would consider changing the name.
