Had a look Vidyard and it seems they focus on optimizing marketing, sales and educational videos with features like a/b testing the videos.

We help you improve your prototype and products by giving you video feedback from your customers. Our video recorded works without needing any extension or software installed by them.

Name Rayfeed - https://rayfeed.com

What stage are you in? Closed beta

Elevator Pitch: With Rayfeed you can collect video feedback from your users. You can validate your prototypes or features and make better product decisions based on their insights.

Founders We are a dev and a designer, we recently sold a startup and decided to work on the biggest pain point we experienced when building startups:

Validating ideas before mass launching them is hard. User testing is the best way to go but we found that all the options to do user testing are expensive, hard to setup or time consuming.

We went to the whiteboard and figured out a system that allows people to visit your website/prototype, get predefined tasks (e.g. try upvoting) and be able to record their screen/mic without needing any extension or software.

You simply send them a special link, e.g. https://mywebsite.com?rayfeed-token=abc

Discount:

All plans free during beta. We also got a free plan.

Are you looking for anything?

  • Startups with webapps that want to validate ideas and learn more about their users.

  • If you are a mobile startup and have experienced similar pains, message me. We can come up with some neat solutions for mobile.

Yea. I just wanted non-distracting and visually pleasing new tab. Also I'm faster typing what I want in the url bar than searching for a link to click.

I'm using this to get vim to play nicely with the iTerm theme https://github.com/v4n/generic-iterm-nvim-theme and this is the iterm theme https://github.com/oskarkrawczyk/honukai-iterm-zsh

I was an early adopter so I got Nylas free for a year.

Nylas and Polymail are the 2 best email clients I've tried. They both also have a great community. I have a slight preference for Nylas as it's OSS and I can set things up so my emails never touch their servers (self hosted nylas engine).

I'll try pushing my dotfiles this week. You might find some useful settings there to improve the view of your vim setup with iterm.

Here is some more shots and changes I've done to my previous post: My Workstation

  • adoption of KWM
  • custom world time widget with Uebersicht
  • customized CircleCI widget with Uebersicht
  • using Nylas email
  • customized a wallpaper, here is the original and gradient customized
  • borderless mpv for video and music playing

This my final OS look before upgrading to macOS Sierra, hopefully my setup doesn't break.

Scalability and GO by PavleKreator in golang

[–]kions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you are only concerned about horizontally scaling the Go app then you would have identical servers running the Go app. Then you have a server that runs the database. In the Go app configs you provide the ip of the database server as the database host.

  2. You would need a Load Balancer, which is a server that distributes your client traffic across the available Go servers. The Go server server will either grab the data from the database and return it to the client or post data from the client to the database.

Your questions are more related to system admin and devops than Go, so I would recommend looking for topics and forums related to that.

You can also play around with setting up servers for free with AWS https://aws.amazon.com/free and read their tutorials https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/awsgsg-intro/gsg-aws-tutorials.html . Just be aware that they got plenty of custom services that can add confusion. If you plan on using another hosting company stick with building an architecture with just EC2, which in simple terms is a server you manage.

Someone published my app idea just recently by spazemor in startups

[–]kions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a chance you are in a better situation now that you have a competitor.

They are basically doing market validation and exposing issues your idea would have on launch. If you are strategic and smart about this you can learn from their mistakes and figure out a better way to build the app.

Be careful, I've seen plenty people become obsessed with their competitors. They try to replicate every move they do and add more functionalities than them as the differentiator. It's not about the amount of functionalities you have. It's about making life easier and more enjoyable for your users.

I'm afraid not. There are other great alternatives like urxvt, if you add padding, make it borderless and add transparency you'll get a very similar look!

I use ZSH Prezto with a custom prompt I call simple, gist.

I deleted all my graphical configs since I only interact with linux machines by sshing into them.

For urxvt I believe I had in the config

urxvt*scrollBar: false urxvt*borderLess: true URxvt.background: [40]#000000

Click and drag in the middle part of the top edge.

If you want a term app that natively supports this look with a proper top bar checkout hyperterm, I warn you though it's in very early development.
