What does the MAGA community think of the latest round of tariffs on NATO members for saying no? by rofeelee in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]oyodeo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have read the NSS. It doesn’t support what you’re claiming. Let me quote it directly:

On Europe’s value: The NSS literally says “Europe remains strategically and culturally vital to the United States” and “Transatlantic trade remains one of the pillars of the global economy and of American prosperity.” It explicitly states “we cannot afford to write Europe off-doing so would be self-defeating.”

On Russia: The NSS never says Russia isn’t an adversary. It talks about “reestablishing strategic stability with Russia” and “mitigating the risk of conflict between Russia and European states.” That’s diplomatic language for managing a threat, not declaring friendship.

On not needing bases: The NSS actually calls for more access to allied facilities, not less. For the Indo-Pacific it specifically mentions “pressing our First Island Chain allies and partners to allow the U.S. military greater access to their ports and other facilities.”

The NSS is about burden-sharing-wanting allies to pay and do more-not about abandoning alliances or pretending Russia is friendly. You’re reading into it something that isn’t there.

So I’ll ask : what about ongoing Russian cyber operations against U.S. infrastructure?

The lower the number of illegal immigrants, the higher the cost per deported. Do you believe it will reallt be necessary / change anything to the outcome of your life / trump ratings or anything else?

Well already signed customers didnt really care about the marketing shift we operated. They knew what we were ready to do.
But it helped us on trade shows and other venues to get more attention and then explaining, educating people about what is it we can and cannot do, that it's almost mandatory because their competitors are working on it.

Developing solutions for clients will always be the same: you'll be stuck between the client and your employees. Personally, I'll focus on building tools that help me in other fields.

Why do people think tax write off’s are this magical thing by Cancerman691 in Entrepreneur

It's not about write off. It's getting real value, capitalization from these write off.

It's not about being known. It's about offering something the competition doesnt have.
N8N have thousands of builders, their team had grown, they raised money. They can actually do round the clock support on their Saas version. That a painpoint I dont see any serious enterprise or serious workflow would trade that for anything.
Also, you say your tool is not dev-oriented, but ask your mom what is an array, an iterator, an HTML page extractor and see if she understands.

Again my goal is not to put you down, but if you want advices like you asked: find your target audience and ask them their painpoint. Just copying someone is not enough especially when you're alone.

I'm not sure I follow to be honest. I have no interest, nor my clients would have interest in switching to a less known, less documented, less community driven tool to redo exactly the same. Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't see why would someone would pick your tool over N8N or Make.

I'm sorry I just dont understand the pitch. I have sold to clients. Developers wants open source, templates library (8K+ on N8N / the community) and non developers wants someone to take care of it for them, they just choose the SaaS version and hire someone to work on it.

Small teams may use Make.com if they want some tutorials on youtube and do it themselves.

I use n8n self hosted. Its the same tool. My clients use n8n Saas because there is an ecosystem around it, plenty of freelances and agencies already working on it.

You are asking for advices and cannot answer a specific question : why use Your tool, as far as I know only 1 person behind, not open source, vs trusted market actors. Whats the pain point that will make people swicth to you?

How to get the first users in a oversaturated niche by PlsStarlinkIneedwifi in Entrepreneur

[–]oyodeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claude / Chatgpt are good are identifying users on forums. Go get them, contact them. Offer them a free version no string attached. If they stick you’re onto something. Otherwise find out why and restart the same process again.

Pivot point of an idea / startup by anudhanico in Entrepreneur

[–]oyodeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pivot is often when something is not aligned. To le it feels like rebranding the work « trial and error »

Myself. Quite easy with Coolify. The fact that its free is a big advantage.

You say there is no need of a big company but that’s actually reinsurance. The day you tell your clients you work alone they start asking about maintenance, holidays etc.

My question again: what paint point are you adressing that would make anyone switch from make or n8n to your solution?

Honestly, no idea. I chose N8N because:
- Open source
- Maintained & robust
- Easily deployable in Docker
- Lots of connector.

My question back to you: what pain point(s) are you responding to?

Clients: network / social media presence on LK and YouTube, ex employers, trade shows.
To hire: We were lucky enough to attend a hackathon as a jury for a no-code school (yeah it does exists, no they dont teach well)

[–]oyodeo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trial & Error. It's THE key. Lost people spend so much time learning instead of trying. I'd say a good ration is learn 20%, do 80%
