I love this, I follow a similar method. One thing that immediately stood out is the Instagram ad creative is poor. The copy is overly technical and there’s no call to action. The image is a basic stoc…

It’s interesting, Google is moving completely pay to play if you also look at the ad tech movement right now. Google has always preferred you just give them a dump truck of money and have them run the…

This statement could be made in a job where remote work doesn’t exist, but thankfully it does. There’s more than enough work out there.

Agreed, was looking for something like this. You could integrate it into the site a bit as well and display release notes or your blog.
comment
Agreed, especially with a note taking app. You want me to live in here? Ok, you better be around in 10 years. Charge me some money so that will be the case.

Not sure people think Tesla doesn’t have a marketing team. They’re currently hiring [1] dozens of marketers all over the world. 1 - https://www.tesla.com/careers/search (sort by …

This is a cool idea. I’ve wondered when someone would come up with a way of scraping known remote companies career pages. Looks like it’s pretty close to that. Look forward to using in the future.

Wondering where Basecamp fits in right now. Dug into it a bit, but the campfire, pings and other nomenclatures didn’t feel like they lend themselves to an easy transition from other PM tools.

You can set Siri on a Mac to accept text and turn off voice responses, then trigger it with a keyboard shortcut. Works pretty well and much faster than the voice controls.

I would buy this.

I scraped Capterra awhile back with this intention. What I learned is that every business category (there are hundreds) had at least 3 market leaders with 4 or more stars. That’s partially due to Capt…

This is right on. After reading the other thread on the front page right now about independent and successful makers, I noticed a pattern. Most of the ideas seem to be: find niche, validate with a few…

Must have missed Fin shutting down. Any info on why they closed up?
comment
Would the AirTable app suffice? I believe you can complete all of those tasks and it’s free.
comment
That’s rough. Have you launched?
comment
I did this too. 5 hour stream, started with google docs, trello then figma before building. Lot of fun and having the camera rolling kept me focused instead of getting distracted by twitter or notific…

Hey HN, we built Press Kite to provide a free and easy way for startups to build press kits for their company, no matter the size. Public relations is an expensive and slow moving field that looks ver…

I’m working on a simple and free way to generate a press kit for your company. https://presskite.com The tech is cool and most of the early customers we have are realizing how important it…

More transformations it looks like. You could probably pipe things through Google Sheets to replicate most of what this is doing but that’s an extra step. The whole point is to eliminate those.

Another ad guy here. The problem is best practice on one platform doesn’t equal best practice on the other. Additionally, there are many ad formats that don’t overlap on multiple platforms. Even GDN v…

I think you’re right about the Facebook transition, especially with the design shifting to one more closely matching Facebook. The dark horse, in my opinion, is spectrum.chat. It is fast, beautiful an…
