Your app will be held back by requiring to create an account with email and password.
Most of the users just use "Login with Google" or other well known OAuth providers and also want to try the product before creating an account.
When I switched from user / password to OAuth I couldn't believe how many users choose it. I could deactivate traditional user & password login and nobody would notice it.
If profit would be reinvested it would be zero and not negative - there is no profit to be reinvested - they need fresh investor blood from time to time ;-)
I can't really agree with the testing part. I worked with many projects where I came across Issues which definitely could have been prevented by more automatic unit / E2E tests.
I imagine the engineers who wrote the code for the Boeing 737 MAX MCAS or the Tesla engineers who accidentally wrote log files to the internal flash thought the same. Maybe another team member could show the author why these tests are important...
The Issue with these two explanations from the board is that this is normally nothing which would result into firing the CEO.
In my eyes these two explanations are simple errors which can occur to everybody and in a normal situation you would talk about these Issues and you could resolve them in 5min without firing anybody.
Cool, but I looks like the creator didn't really look deep in the competition. Many of the question marks in the comparison table can be replaced by a checkmark.
There won't be much discussion about that in Germany because it is old news. Every German knows that and this is not the first incident.
> We have political killings here. The Russian special services are active in Germany.
This quote is the reality. It is well known that we have Russian, Turkish, Iranian and other spies here, political killings happen from time to time and sometimes we even have terrorists registered as refugees because our Government has no IDs from them (this happened back when we had many refugees from Syria - some of them were IS-Terrorists)
We don't talk about America, we talk about Germany where the Military is a joke.
> there are no trial downloads available for theirs desktop products
They have a contact form and it's quite normal here in Germany that you have to contact the business first before you can download the business software.
All in all most normal small IT companies I know in my area have a similar looking website.
Which makes it more unserious is that one of the Managing Directors has done shady business in the past.
> Why don't people living in true poverty around the world feel depressed and kill themselves like we do?
That actually happens. There are just not enough statistics about that because nobody cares.
I remember a documentary about a part in China with a very high suicide rate - mostly because people couldn't find a job. Another example would be the Irish Travellers - a community which has it hard to find a job and has a way higher suicide rate than the rest of the UK.
I try to focus on English first and will add support for more languages like German and Spanish soon.
