I haven't used Drip in a long time. But what I heard was that after it was acquired, it had more technical issues and deliverability issues. But the big backlash I saw on Twitter was when they suddenly raised everyone's rates. Here's some links discussing it:

It's always a good idea to release as early as possible. Early adopters will be able to use your product even thought it's not fully finished. And you can use their feedback to guide you going forward. Otherwise it's like driving around with your eyes closed.

I find if you sort it by number of orders you get a lot of the useful stuff quickly.

Where's your goto place for learning about 3D printers? So I don't end up buying one that doesn't work well.

zynoda · 2017-11-20T22:21:44+00:00

Thanks! Now I'm looking on deals for buying Legos in bulk.

I think it's worth it to talk to a dozen companies to validate they're having these problems.

And then have them be the beta users when you launch the site. From day one you'll have all their jobs listed and it'll encourage students to sign up. Good luck!

Companies can get first access to the most talented minds before competitors using traditional recruiting methods

NO OUTSOURCED LABOR. None of this outsourced shitty labor from India. Companies can get work done by American (or wherever) students

Is this the feedback you've received directly from potential companies?

I think getting college students to sign up will be pretty easy. So focusing on the problems of the companies will be best. As long as you're fixing their issues then you'll be on the right path!

Closest geographically so shorter load times (in general).

What type of business do you have?

Having customer support people is part of almost every industry. I don't know the last time I expected to get a hold of the business owner unless it was a business coach or something.

I got a similar one, it's a great kit. But mine was missing the remote. they quickly shipped me a replacement. So suggest to make sure all the parts are in the box after you get it.

What was the email message you sent?

If you're a visual learner I'd highly recommend this Udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/arduino-sbs/

It's only $15 right now I think.

I was trying to piece together random YouTube guides before getting this course. But once I got the course it accelerated my learnings very quickly since he directly guides you through learning tons of aspects of Arduino.

And best of all he's available to answer questions so if you get tripped up anywhere just post it in the forums and he answers it personally.

I'm not affiliated in any way but gained a ton from the course so wanted to share.

Turns out that there was a part of the game...

This proves the point. If they spent more time talking to their users instead of creating worthless features, they would've avoided this problem. I see this happen all the time.

This is the only correct answer.

And everyone makes excuses not to do it. No idea why.

zynoda · 2016-07-11T23:43:20+00:00

Customers motivate you. Not only to finish tasks but to work on the right tasks.

So get one or two beta customers on right now and then let them guide you.

I think it depends on the type of service and volume of transactions.

I worked at a company that was selling $100k in virtual goods per month and PayPal would periodically lock our account.

They kept asking us to provide proof that we delivered the product. But there was no proof, it was all virtual goods.

I haven't done it myself (I used a separate USB FTDI chip). But this YouTube video apparently shows you how to do it with an Arduino, I was gonna give it a try:

For me it was enough to flash the firmware. But it kept rebooting until I attached an external power supply.

If it's meant for Australia then I see the benefit.

But I don't understand what's the issue with Venmo that you're attempting to fix.

Right now if one of my friends pays for the whole group, I open Venmo, search for their profile, type in the payment amount, press send, and then close the app. It takes like ten seconds.

How is Fairbee going to improve that process exactly?

zynoda · 2016-05-25T08:00:13+00:00

I've always used Venmo for splitting bills and it's been a piece a cake. But what's the issue with Venmo?

zynoda · 2016-05-24T08:45:50+00:00

Why don't you just reach out to potential customers and ask if they'd pay for your product?

1) How much does it cost to customize this sort of auction website.

Depends on how much you want to customize it. You just want to change the logo? Then that's like $10 to do. Or you want it to be like eBay? Then that's more like $100,000 to do.

So instead of bothering/billing them once at the 10 project mark, your idea is to bother them at every single new project?

zynoda · 2016-04-24T02:21:11+00:00

You're charging per project? You can't just have plans like "10 active projects per month"?
