This is a great app! Simple and does the job.

The F1TV app is not available in my country on play store on my Google TV. The first time, I logged into the device using the android debugger to install the APK - I didn't want to use an ad-full app. Then I tried LocalSend, and it is now my default to send the APK from my mac to my android tv. Love the simple experience. Minor quirks in the UI, but gets the job done.

This is good - I previously used Buffalo https://gobuffalo.io/ at my startup, but eventually decided to move off it. Go doesn't seem like the kind of language that could support a framework like rails (it's safety takes away from the flexibility).

Would love to see how this turns out though! Great work

Hi! You can do that too. but Olvy already stores your user feedback and user requests to make the workflow easier. You also get a hosted changelog, a feedback management system and a lot more with it.

Since my university's curriculum was stuck in the 90s, I used Codecademy to teach myself JS, and Ruby. Thank you Zach, and everyone who has been part of the team!

What worked for us:

We did something like this with our early users. Called the thing "The Builders Program"

For the medium, have one default you use but don't limit things to it. If one of your early users wants to use twitter to contact you and give you feedback, use that. We created a Discord server, had a group Twitter DM, used Email.

One thing you should do early on with these users is show them you are listening. Pick something they say and ship it as soon as you can. If they see you're listening, they'll be more active in sharing feedback.

In exchange for being part of the builders program we gave them lifetime free access to the product later on.

This is a nice idea, and amazing execution on this. Really excited to see how this picks up.

But here are my concerns with the Git contributions to reward performance.

A company I interned at installed a Git history analysis tool, and used stats from that in 1:1s and performance reviews.

About a month after I joined, I had one such 1:1 with my manager. He was like, "Congratulations! You made 53% of all contributions to frontend last month. You're our star performer."

I wasn't. I was responsible for upgrading our frontend from React 15 to React 16. Most of the changes that happened were thanks to the Codemod, and a lot of find / replace magic.

Option + Click

And

Command + Option + Shift + Click

Works on most default OS things you can click on. Reveals a whole new set of amazing functionality.

Example: Doing so on the bluetooth icon on your menu bar, gives you the debug option for you to reset / restart bluetooth module.
