I find, after creating software for 14 years, that 1) clients don't know what they want, 2) they can't communicate what they want 3) describing features is difficult it doesn't matter if we call it a story or an issue, 4) something will always change

They picked the wrong country to build in. Germany is notoriously slow with bureaucracy.

Isn’t this what we call social work?

Thank you for this. I will signup and check their offerings. If we can use the tools in the browser on linux, that is fine.

Yes, I did consider this option. The only issue is the Mail Server. It has to be secure & maintained. + SSO for all services would be ideal.

Honestly, Office 365 sounds good, but we are a Linux & Mac only business. Can't imagine using MS products... Or will that not matter at all? :)

As a small business we use Google Suite. We would need a single solution which provides all these: - Email (unlimited domains, unlimited addresses) - Drive (Docs, sheets, forms) - Photos (this is where we also store out private photos 2Tb+; also, auto-sync is a lifesaver) - Calendar

Any alternative which is as affordable as Google? How about Zoho?

Narrator: it didn’t.

Ok maybe totally out of scope but is it theoretically possible to render a html page in the video? If so, can I use this to create a saas product demo programmatically? Love the examples. this is a great piece of work.

Glad to hear! Safe travels and enjoy the drive!

Fair enough. Have you been doing this for long? I always wondered if it’s a lonely job.

Yeah I can’t wait to buy my own house and do stuff like this. Solar panels are also on my list :)

This looks super interesting. Could you please list a couple of use cases?

Wow that sounds like a very long drive. Good luck getting there. I hope the weather will let you through!

Authentic: https://authenticstats.com

It's a simple app for influencers & brands to make life easier.

Built it for myself so I don't have to manually find & collect stats from my social media when working on campaigns & collabs.

Connects to the social network APIs, loads your posts and stats. Using the Report builder you can add the posts you created and it shows your stats.

Recently made it open for everybody.

Brands can also sign up to get the reports & create campaigns.

Been a bit neglected lately as I am busy with other projects. Friends & other influencers use it at the moment.

We have been doing this successfully for many years, no problems. Some multi site installs have up to 300 sites running on them. You have to know when to use the available technology.

Maker here. The idea is that creators can create the profiles and connect social APIs to pull stats and insights.

Previous collaboration results can be shared with brands you want to work with.

It’s pretty awesome. Great job.

I have been working on a similar project aimed at content creators - they also need their LinkedIn. The idea is that you can build your Authentic Profile by connecting your social APIs. It’s called Authentic https://authenticstats.com and it’s growing fast. :)

Good luck with your project.

I would also like to know this.

Is it silly to assume that a nose would break of the easiest? Like how stretched out arms are usually broken. These statues are very old.

In other news: if you walk around with weights attached to your body, you will walk slower.

The 14 days cool down period also applies in Germany and every EU country.

I am sorry to say this but if you want to tax the rich, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Look at the German taxation system and learn from it.

Wow this is awesome news. I always wondered how the internals could work. Can’t wait to take a peak...

Thank you for this. As a new maker, I am trying to understand the market and how things work. My product has b2b and b2c (free) offerings and I would like to hope that it’s useful. But you are right, making it here should not be the main point of the business plan.

This kind of make sense. Even in busy cities there are not many ppl walking around at night in Germany (less weekends). Most areas outside of the cities are completely dead at night. Also, general safety is very good. (At least where I have been so far)

Yap, this is the saddest thing. After a month long road trip around Europe the windshield & front air vent were almost clean.

Dresden. Don’t get me wrong the gardens are neat but ppl keep longer grass, bushes, lots of flowers. Don’t know much about the laws in Germany (only recently moved here) but I can see that ppl care about their environment.

Is there a way to make it here? Is it community building or sg else?

I just love mushrooms. When I am going to be old and have nothing better to do, I will be growing all sorts of edible mushrooms haha. Most fascinating creatures of all.
