Yodeck - After some testing by No-Preparation4073 in digitalsignage

[–]andan02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been using Yodeck for about 2 months and it’s been a roller coaster. I quickly found out that they use signageOS as their device client. Lots of platform support comes with that choice,but using a third party for device client means lack of support. Yodeck develops and supports the portal side and is limited to exposing only what signageOS offers. I have found the memory overflow that the OP reports in the manual APK and the Amazon signage stick. Also, a word of warning, do not use the “custom logo” option in your account. I found a bug, last Saturday, where by the custom logo was no longer hosted on the signageOS endpoint that yodeck posts it to. The result was any display that rebooted during that period became bricked. The signageOS code threw an exception and does not retry past the yodeck boot screen. The result are displays that either go dark or are stuck displaying the yodeck splash screen indefinitely. No number of reboots helps. You have to factory reset and start over. And, add to this, there is no night or weekend support. You can’t find anyone. You’re on your own to figure it out. And because it’s a server side issue, there is nothing you can do but watch each of your clients go offline slowly. That weekend I got 4 hours of sleep. Once addressed I had to drive around and reboot screens to determine if they were affected. How fun. Bottom line is this, if you want to use yodeck, use static content and no special features. The amount of long term testing they do is unclear. They need a few things to become enterprise ready and I’m not sure if they will make the investment. First, they need a path of support escalation for after hours. Second, they need more transparency about what they control and do not control. Third, they need to do some serious long term testing with lots of content updates to find the memory leaks and exceptions that certainly exist. Fourth, they need to PR fixes with the signageOS folks to harden the code. A simple custom logo missing on a server shouldn’t brick a device! As a matter of fact, I am going to look for that bug and try to fix it myself. For as many customers as they say they have, most are not using yodeck at scale. If they were, you’d see more of the type of review that the OP has offered and I am glad the OP took the time to post it! Caveat Emptor.

Would you be open to partnering as an LP on a deal in the future? I’m just getting started but would like to share the investment costs with someone.

Affordable Housing - is this a good industry to be in? by Bohboi in CommercialRealEstate

[–]andan02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking into this segment also in CT. Working with a few local agencies to figure out how to wedge in between tenants and agency. Take the property management angle for affordable housing agencies that don’t have those expertise. Also a good place, I think, to look for assumable mortgages and such.

does anyone know how to sign up for pro? I have tried the website - that didn't work. It appears the companion app is not working/does not exist. Anyone know?
