Congrats on launching! Great tool, love the minimal UI and the "coming soon" features
I've used CRMs for the last 10 years, starting with an internal built CRM for a bank that I worked at and moving on to the salesforce, hubspot etc..
Here's what I've noticed being a user/developer
- Users will always complain! If it takes more than 2 minutes to get something done they'd rather not do it
- All CRMs have a learning curve, once users get used to the workflows they're comfortable with, they don't want anything to change. (e.g. when one of the CRMs relaunched with a new UI, a few users refused to use it for a long time)
- Users prefer the work done for them, no one wants to spend time thinking. If you have a library of pre-built workflows it goes a long way. Even better, do all the analysis and let users make a binary decision

Super cool tool! I noticed the Twitter template for example was only for your own account. Is there a plan in the future to create one for tracking lists or hashtags?
Love this! Would love to see more features in there I know someone mentioned charts which is great! Other features could be news/fundamentals! Let me know if you want to brainstorm my Twitter is in my bio. I used to work at a data vendor that competed with Bloomberg have plenty of ideas!
Firstly congrats on the launch! I am super excited about this I just signed up hoping to get my hands on it and experiment on different things
At $30/month I think its a steal the reason I say this is because for someone to do this with no-code they would probably have to hire a freelancer who would charge them way more than $30 for setting it up and probably no/little support. Love the idea I really think it fills a gap here.
There are several side projects I'm going to try with this
Thank you for the valuable feedback! That was part of the initial idea to get to being a primary source of news and I believe it would require a good user base that is very involved in the energy industry
Are you involved in energy in anyway? Happy to send you an invite! My email is in the bio
Thank you again for the feedback I highly appreciate it!
We’re focused on energy in general, but so far the users have been posting about hydrocarbons as that’s trending now considering where the oil price is now and where it’s headed. What did you think of the website
Let me know if you want me to send you an invite (email in my bio)
Hey I'm the cofounder of EnergyAnts. Its a news aggregator for the Energy industry. We launched during this batch's startup school. Looking forward to some feedback!
Having shorter weekday hours and longer weekend hours would make it perfect. I was in the process of registering for the March 2019 data science cohort, however I dropped it as I did not want to take someone else's spot. Could not commit to 3 hours a day (on a week day)
Thanks Josh, I sent you an email I think you answered most of the stuff here though just came back to the comments now. Would still be great to have a chat sometime
The "flavor of the day" comment really caught my attention, been thinking of a startup between those lines. I think with people having hundreds of decisions to make everyday from a million choices, it would help to answer those questions for the users without them having to spend time deciding.
I mean its great to have review sites, but what should I have for lunch today? what is trending just give me the answer I am happy to pay $5 a month you decide for me. What programming language is trending?
Will look into it at some point, happy to have a chat with anyone who's interested my email is in my profile
Most universities have Bloomberg terminals so you could use them if that is what you were looking for.
I think the real question here is what would generate more value.
I used to work at a company similar to Bloomberg and I can tell you that an individual user who would purchase the terminal subscription is most likely sophisticated enough to be using it at a high level (options, futures, swaps etc..), has a high tolerance for risk and wouldn't mind burning a load of cash "experimenting"
Earning an MBA might get you a better job in the long run, but again you are giving up 2 years worth of income so if you can survive that then why not. I think I would go for the MBA if I had to pick
