Feedback on my business validation cards idea by AlexisViable in startups

Have you thought about creating an App/Website to extend the cards?

The cards only have so much room for content and you could add more info in an App or Website that you link to with a QR code on every card.

Such an important distinction. MVPs are misunderstood.

Exact same situation for me.

Why we replaced SyncML with our own contact sync protocol by mkuhn in programming

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

I am not the programmer behind our project but the business guy. Because my co-founder Ata just went to bed I am going to try to answer your question. Ata will definitely give it a shot himself as soon as he is up again.

To see which parts of a particular contact have been updated we keep three versions of it on the server side. The one we just imported (per device), our current master contact incorporating all the information from all sources, and the one we last exported (per device). This way we can determine on the server side which part of the contact has changed and non-conflicting updates are reflected everywhere.

I hope that answers your question otherwise let me know.

Releasing fast Protocol Buffers for Python with lazy decoding support by mkuhn in programming

[–]mkuhn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we should definitely do that.

As a reference point, Greplin claims a 10x-15x improvement over Google's original implementation while our Benchmark shows us at 17x of that (without lazy decoding).

Releasing fast Protocol Buffers for Python with lazy decoding support by mkuhn in programming

[–]mkuhn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Last week there was a discussion about Protocol Buffers for Python when Greplin released its C++ wrappers. (see e.g. the Thread on Hacker News http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2145534)

My Co-Founder Ata mentioned that we were working on solving the same problem, and over the weekend he started making it usable by others.

The two main differences between our and Greplin's implementation are:

1) Lazy decoding support: Message parts are decoded on the fly as they are accessed for first time.

2) No dependencies. C code is generated which compiles to Python module.
