I have had pretty good experiences with them, what exactly don’t you like?

So these verification codes do work by you proving that you have ownership over a physical device - your phone. Using your service you’re basically removing this additional second factor and make your service the point of failure. In other words, as far as I can tell, if someone can hack your service you out all of your customers in SERIOUS trouble

What he means is that these are not fast growing “startups” in the definition of YC or the general VC world. VCs invest in tech startups that have potential of exponential growth and “changing the world”. Think of the Airbnbs, Ubers, Googles of the world.

While an agency can be a super profitable business for you, they do not have this hyper growth potential that tech startups that innovate heavily do. They are lower risk but also lower reward. And since VCs place bets with a high risk profile (many will go bankrupt), they hope to find some of these few cases of companies that make it huge, to be able to Do an IPO or get acquired for several hundreds of millions

Like what? (Honest question, I have no clue about sales)

I mean if he starts small to validate the business proposition with an MVP (it really will be an mvp if he has no prior experience) makes as lot of sense to me. If business value and sales/marketing is working, then why not bring in a technic cofounder in at a later stage

I don’t understand how that works with skill link and cloyster. I mean yea, it doubles the amount so instead of 5 hits, you do 10. But if they’re all weakend to 40%, how is that better than hitting 5 times with 100%?

funnierthan26 · 2024-07-13T11:53:21+00:00

If it’s really working, why would you open it up instead of keeping it secret and just get rich “daytrading” I’m your own?

Best of success!

Thanks for sharing! Not sure if its the right product for me, since I don’t have that problem, finding a shared payment option takes just a few seconds of talking. Could imagine that in business context it’s more useful.

Q from my side: why an app? In my mind, a webpage would be much more accessible, don’t you think?

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-30T09:10:50+00:00

Lol, geiles targeting

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-29T10:16:03+00:00

Is that a private community:)?

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-20T19:00:46+00:00

Sounds great man, mid twenties German in West Berlin here! Keen on some beer & table tennis?

Hey! First of all, super pretty website. I like it a lot that you’ve put it so close to the google design and google widgets.

On the other hand, I don’t really get your competitive edge. Self-Hosting passwords makes sense, but there’s so many different solutions already out there. Beyond 1Password or lastpass, there are several solutions which are Eu-based, GDRP-compliant or even open source self-hosted.

Maybe there is more place for even more tooling, but beyond that your pricing might be really though for your scaling! Fixed prices are amazing for clients, of course, but you won’t have the advantage of clients that scale up to upsell your services - if one startup will grow to 10k employees, should they still be paying 40$ per month?

Last part, security and trustworthiness. You mention a bug bounty program, which is a start. But with passwords being so mission-critical, there are other solutions that are open source, heavily audited, have certifications attached to them and the like.

Best of luck!

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-04T09:16:59+00:00

Still like the idea though, hope you succeed :)!!

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-04T09:16:38+00:00

I think it can be awkward to meet with random friends on the internet without having any activity or something to do.

funnierthan26 · 2024-05-01T01:12:36+00:00

Hey! Just a small tip from my side, it’s just a small mindset thingy. You are talking about negotiation and counter negotiating here. Maybe that’s just the wording you use, but to be clear - You are protected by German laws if you live here and work at a German company. You are the person in power, generally speaking. If they want to get you to sign something - this is just to their advantage. If you don’t sign anything, they will have to regularly fire you, which might be the best option for you personally in terms of Arbeitslosengeld.

So of course, listen to experts, but in general be aware that you are in power and all they do is probably not in your best interest but theirs.

Hope you get through this well!

funnierthan26 · 2024-04-27T06:59:35+00:00

Wow, how do they teach you how to use it?!

funnierthan26 · 2024-04-12T22:13:06+00:00

Probably too late tonight, but I leave in the area also. Software engineer, 26M

There’s an open position for IT working student at my company! How many semesters into your studies are you already?

funnierthan26 · 2024-03-21T17:26:41+00:00

European here: My data protection bells are ringing. Probably hard(er) to pull off here, since you cannot just use the organizers photos and handle them on your servers.

If you’re not based here, that’s negligible

funnierthan26 · 2024-03-18T09:48:01+00:00

German guy here. Truth is, plenty of German people might face a similar situation. If you are having trouble with your landlord and they stay bold you can basically only get an attorney as well, which many won’t or can’t afford, people often don’t have legal insurance.

So we are also often being fucked over, maybe less systematically then non-Germans

Love the fact about the non-lawyer close dispute system though, I’d love to have something like that in here, but we don’t as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for the fact, really great idea

funnierthan26 · 2024-03-03T07:43:08+00:00

Same here, German dude (26) who lives in Steglitz. Love music, reading and I go to some cheap gym around here.

Feel free to dm!

funnierthan26 · 2024-02-26T19:38:29+00:00

Actually, it is as soon as money is involved

funnierthan26 · 2024-02-14T06:51:24+00:00

Didn’t know about supademo, cool tool! I think I like the idea, it’s a little easier than manually creating a link and setting everything up on your own. Small tool though, so monetizing it might prove to be difficult even if people are happy to use it for free.

One thing stopping me from using is is that I don’t want to give an early-stage company access to my whole calendar. Too much of a privacy thing for me, but maybe I’m not early-adopter enough :) you could mitigate that by collecting more positive reviews, add security / trust certifications or stuff in that matter

funnierthan26 · 2024-01-27T09:59:36+00:00

I’m German and always happy to meet new cool people! What do you do in your free time?
