They likely already preset views and controllers to react to backend events. If they add an event like "pride" to the backend, the app just has to render the view associated with that event.
Pro-founder does not mean they drop all standards and expectations. I'm not familiar with their entire portfolio, but using the Zenefits case (where the founder is accused of fraud) is a poor argument to support your claim that they are not pro-founder.
I'm not saying they are or aren't profounder. I just think Zenefits is not a good example to use to make sweeping accusations about the firm.
ESPs warm up their ips and prepare them before putting them into production, where they're tasked with sending billions of emails on a regular basis. These IPs used in production are considered "professional grade".
I have many free apps as well as paid apps running. But I always used Heroku because I didn't have to worry about limitations unless a particular app has high volume. Now that it's become a monstrous burden, I'll definitely be moving most of my apps to a vps/DigitalOcean.
You just lost a huge number of free apps that could potentially become paid apps.
TLDR: Hassle of keeping track of account wide dyno use > hassle of running on vps
As a fan of Vsauce, CGP, and several conference channels (JSConf) this looks promising. I definitely see the value in having live chat alongside the video.
But instead of YouTube videos, I think this is a better fit for watching shows like Netflix/Hulu live (not sure if they allow embedding). I regularly tune into new episodes on Hulu - this would fit perfectly.
Nice idea and the demo video looks great. But trying to replace typed syntax with a drag and drop GUI is going to be an up hill battle if you're trying to convert existing programmers. And from the demo video, it doesn't look like something a new programmer could pick up easily. So who is your target audience?
I thought about this previously. There's the obvious regulatory issues to deal with. I suggest looking into Cottage Food laws, which allow individuals to sell food that was prepared in their kitchens.
Been working on Yeti as a platform of experts to share experiences and recommendations. For example, if you're starting a startup, you'll want the best advice you can find on what (not) to do. Yeti is a curation of recommendations for any topic. Avoid common mistakes and find relevant advice from others who have "been there, done that".
Sometimes we get asked how Yeti is different from Q&A sites. While we love Quora, we found a huge subset of topics can't be served through Q&A. Just look at how many blog posts there are for "10 Best Tips on Getting Traction" or "Best Marketing Tools for Startups". We feel a community driven curation of recommendations would provide more value than arbitrary blog posts.
