Ah yeah we didn't add a link for that because we wanted people to put their real companies (and not see them and change it). You can set your company here: therealsfmap.com/company
1. We wanted to keep it simple (1 login vs 2)
2. We thought that in general people care more about their facebook friends than their linkedin friends (contacts?) so we chose fb instead of linkedin.
3. LinkedIn also locked down their api so you can't get contacts unless they are also on the app.
This was super fun to make - hope you enjoy :) Literally a couple minutes after we posted it on fb - one of our friends commented that he worked in the building literally right behind us (I see you Minqi :)!
Thanks! Finishing the last bit and polishing it up took more than 90 minutes - there's a lot of stuff we needed to do for the app store also - screenshots, etc...
haha we've done several interviews like this and usually we pick a project that we estimate to be 3-4 hours and since we are engineers we pretty much always underestimate how long it will take. It's the first one we have ever finished / shipped. We thought it would be way too simple, turns out it was just right:)
Here's an interesting experience we had in one of our interviews. Would love to hear any tips or advice you guys have on interviewing and any feedback you have on our process.
Thanks!!
Yeah I definitely don't have a perfect solution for this. Sometimes it piles up. One thing that I have found effective is having a designated end of day "clean up to-do list" time. Definitely open to hearing what you think would be a good solution.
Yeah! That's basically Step #1 for me except I was too scared to actually unsubscribe (especially in college). Turns out I don't read any of them and for the most part my life is still good :)
I tried that but found that this worked much better for me personally. Also I had emails in very different levels of "response required" - email lists (don't need to look at vs response required immediately).
Also a big plus of this approach is feeling like you are "done" with email. I know it seems a bit complicated but its actually quite simple - most of the setup is a one time upfront cost of about 20 min. Try it out and let me know what you think about this strategy!
