Hmm. Just idea Lightweight xlsx = CSV with json additions
Good points thanks. Will rad about TK solver.
The question is about the use case and how much technical people are.
Excel format is bad because it’s not clear simple text in the raw text format. Also for simple local database with not that much data.
CSV with quirks could be edited with any text editor, put into LLM, shared, GIT history edits. That’s also the benefits of local notes in filesystem in MD format (oobsidian).
Problem with plain CSV is that I can’t do any formatting even the simplest or make simple formulas. I could make calculations using DuckDB or something but it have friction.
I just prepared some data https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C73B9XI14rLxYD_4kedG...
we are migrating to Clickhouse so it will be easier to get some interesting stats soon, then from MySQL ;)
I am the owner of TimeCamp app that can track usage of desktop apps.
75% of office workers that use Google Chrome use Notepad++ on Windows.
Probably using CSV data format which is great. Can be used for example in Obsidian.
for me too
Figure out when SaaS growth might plateau.
I made a Shortcut + PHP to get text from a screenshot, ask ChatGPT to make a task name from text, and create new task in Clickup and attache a screenshot. Use it often.
I created https://www.timecamp.com that can track processes, window titles and url (free). Those informations presented visually can help make better timesheets :)
Can you recommend any accounting firm for Delaware INC company? We started with Stripe Atlas but can't find good and affortable firm.
Hi, thanks for comments. In fact invoicing will be free. But we want to build another set of features around this like powerfull time tracking, and charging that. So it will be like freemium model.
Thanks, it motivated us to make the layout simpler.
This is our second post in a series of posts. We want to share those lessons in further posts, because we feel that for this moment we don’t have enough learned to write about this.
Interesting case study. I think we will write in couple of months how it ended in TimeCamp. Did you have clear goal and saw how this statistics was used and if it was usefull?
http://www.timecamp.com can automatically capture time based on keywords in window titles, very similar
Vacations to Canada to visit my family (3 weeks). I think I could learn and feel startups culture there.
I have a friend that was visiting silicon valley, and I was amazed by his stories.
But funding will be probably the topic on the plate that time. We are starting getting some traction, and want to sell scale it. Polish enterprise market is not big enough probably.
Great, thanks for concrete example
Great example to support your thinking. I hope that I understand that correctly - you are saying that product as a some bigger thing then some code is the main thing startup should focus on, and you have to get >1 in "expirience" with it? :)
Thanks for answer. But, I'm thinking what is marketing expertise in practice, maybe you can write a case study...
I didn't expect such a good feedback, thanks a lot
