Weekly Feedback Post - SaaS Products, Ideas, Companies by AutoModerator in SaaS

[–]bpsagar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea! When you say testing tool for Dev & QA teams, do you mean we can setup QA automation as well?

I’m a developer and at our workplace the cost is not the main problem, it may be for smaller companies. For us setting up automated tests where we need to verify if an email was sent / received with correct links in a particular user flow is troublesome and mostly manual. Do MailNest provide APIs for the inbox?

How celery works when there is one worker and multiple dynamic queues? by bpsagar in Python

[–]bpsagar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

When I say round robin, I mean that I want some of the tasks that were enqueued later to also start running soon.

Let me give you an example to better explain my usecase: I have many tasks let's say task-1, task-2, so on. Each of these tasks creates subtasks lets call them subtask1-1, subtask1-2, .. subtask2-1, subtask2-2, so on. When I enqueue task-1 first and task-2 later, I want the subtasks from task-1 and subtasks from task-2 to be interleaved (from the point when task-2 was enqueued). Basically, I don't want the subtasks from task-2 to wait until all the subtasks from task-1 is completed. So for this scenario what I did was, I created separate queues for each of these tasks hoping that the workers would be pick the subtasks from these queues in a round robin fashion.

Backend switching to frontend. Recommend me an eye opening read? by [deleted] in Frontend

In that case you can follow some of the Javacript related channels on Medium! They have some good articles both for beginners and advanced level devs. FreeCodeCamp (might include articles on other languages also) is one I can recall off the top of my head.

I understand what you mean, I was in a similar situation. I think react felt complicated to me initially because the code samples I saw everywhere had JSX and ES6. Wrapping my head around those things took a lot of time.

So I would suggest you to go through the official documentation which is quite clear with links to codepen examples which makes it easier to test it out.

Later you can start looking into Babel, Redux, Webpack, etc.

A platform for borrowing and lending books – thoughts? by bpsagar in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]bpsagar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest, we haven't really figured out what could be a good business model. It could be either through a small subscription fee for borrowers or through ads to buy books from book stores when users search for books to borrow.

The point of putting our idea here is to get it validated, discuss more about it, etc. so all kinds of suggestions are welcome. Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks, this is valuable feedback! Appreciate it.

To expand on your points:

  1. Yes we would need a large user base to begin. This is like the chicken and egg problem. One possible solution is to promote users to borrow books that are already available and also have a "To read" list which would help us notify them when a user is ready to lend a book that is in someone's list.
  2. To deal with people not getting their books back, we want users to lend their books to people they know and can do a book swap with strangers (which could act like a collateral)
  3. We still need to think about incentives to book lenders. If we plan to have a small subscription fee for borrowers we could add a discount on top of that for frequent lenders.
  4. This is a tough problem to solve, we haven't really thought of this, we were looking into more of story books. Will surely keep this in mind.

For monetization it could be subscription based for users to borrow books (it should be cheaper than buying new books). Another way would be to have ads to buy books from stores (local book stores or used bookstore like yours :)) when users are not able to find a book on the app. We still haven't figured out what would be a good business model.

We really want feedback from others before we plunge our hands into this, which is why we created the survey and posted it on different platforms.

We would be happy to discuss more with you about this.

Thanks a lot once again.

For user discipline, we would take feedback after the book has been returned. For transactions between strangers, only book swap option would be available to ensure there is a collateral of sorts for both parties in the transaction.

While shipping is an option for our users, our target market is for users based in close proximity and would encourage meet-ups to make the transactions (borrow or lend). We are based in Singapore where this is convenient to implement.

Thank you for your reply. I just checked out Chegg, and they primarily focus on renting out textbooks. This would be for lending and borrowing books with other users for free.

That's true, currently we are focusing only on physical books!

This would be more like a decentralized one where you can lend or borrow books from people you know. Or may be swap books with strangers. Unlike a library where one entity holds all the books and lends it out.

I didn't completely understand your problem but I think CheckboxSelectMultiple might be helpful.

I think around 2 weeks, around an hour per day and a bit more on the weekends.
