attendos··on Show HN: Webapp to generate colorful QR codes
Really easy to use, great product!
attendos··on Show HN: An app to create QR Menus
Yea, I was just thinking to turn in more into a game. Or some kind or Tinder for selecting what you want as a kid. The healthier the more points or something hehe ;)
attendos··on Show HN: An app to create QR Menus
Aah yea i think understand, we have a pretty nice custom QR builder where you can customize the colors, add tekst, or a logo :) We also don't use URL shorteners people can just choose a custom slug eg menu.cards/s/[slug]

Probably most more simple systems use url shorteners so they can update the URl it's revering to, since you sometimes need to update the menu. With Menu.Cards you can just update you menu dynamically whenever.

Btw if you want to see a demo of what a menu could look like: menu.cards/s/demo

Yea you could for sure keep the printed menus, but one of the extra benefits of having an online menu is that your can keep your menu up to date with daily menus and all. Printing new menus everyday can be a struggle and is not very ECO-friendly.

Thanks a lot!

Thx again, it's fixed!

Not sure, but something to look in to i guess ;)

Our own pricing at the moment is just in EUR but you can offer you customers all currencies that Stripe offers. Yes, we're working on a multi-language menu :) For now it's just possible with creating multiple menus in different languages...

Great point! Something to think about :)
attendos··on Show HN: An app to create QR Menus
Thats cool! And exactly the direct we're going for, creating less friction and an overal better experience.

I agree that the PDFs & scans are not the best option. Thats why we created a dynamic menu, more like a Shopify store. Restaurant owners can update their menu at any time and even accept orders direct from the table (paid online if preferred).

Noted

This one should work: https://menu.cards/en/?set_language=english

The translation is automatic at the moment and will be translated by a native this week :)

Anyway thanks for letting me know!

At the moment the built in QR just creates QR images for the front of your (store) menu, but we're planning to do this based on tables too, right now the customer manually has to fill in the table number.

To create different QR's per submenu would be possible already if you create a free QR generator and add the submenu URL of your menu.cards store. But could be a good add on to add to our QR generator! Thanks ;)

Yea true most restaurants use a simple QR leading to a PDF from their menu. With menu.cards you can create a dynamic menu, receive payments, custom domain all the good stuff ;)

Currently most of the customers get acquired via outreach.

attendos··on Show HN: Automatically turn new blogs into social media posts
I've actually update the pricing model now to be more suited for indie bloggers as well
attendos··on Show HN: Automatically turn new blogs into social media posts
Thanks! Yea planning on adding some different plans to make it more interesting for smaller blogs as well.
attendos··on Show HN: I build this without knowledge of code
I've built an app that helps collect testimonials. It's completely built on Bubble.io without knowledge of code.
attendos··on Show HN: Toothbrushes Made from Bamboo
There are 7.6 billion people on the planet.

Each of us will use 300 toothbrushes during our lifetime (4 toothbrushes per year).

A conventional toothbrush weighs approximately 18 grams.

Each of us will throw away about 12 pounds of plastic toothbrushes in our lifetime.

Plastic toothbrush waste generated during our lifetime = 80 billion pounds!

I read about the 2 billion a year in an article that I can't find at the moment. I will do some more research about this and remove the quote for now. Thanks for your calculation and for pointing this out!

attendos··on Made my first sale with 24h of building my MVP without code
I only shared it on my personal social media (not a big reach) and created a profile for it on Indie hackers. Unfortunately, I can't see how the first customer found me.
attendos··on Made my first sale with 24h of building my MVP without code
I've built the MVP without using code on Carrd.co in combination with Checkoutpage.co to handle the payments and collect the customer data.
attendos··on Show HN: Bamboo Toothbrush Subscription
Time for a change! It's recommended by dentists that every 3 months it's time for a new toothbrush (or when the bristles get frayed) to keep a healthy mouth full of teeth, to keep the brushing most effective and to keep a nice and clean toothbrush that doesn't look like a toilet-brush from a busy cafe. So why not go for a better looking, sustainable toothbrush that you can be proud to use.

We offer a yearly subscription so you can swap your toothbrush every 3 months without thinking about it. Once a year we send you a nice and clean paper package with four new toothbrushes made from bamboo. When it's time to swap your toothbrush for a new one we send you a friendly email reminder so you don't have to think about it.

attendos··on I build a no code platform in 8 days, without code
Hope you enjoy my first ever blog post :)
attendos··on Show HN: I build a no-code tool without code
It's built on Bubble.is .

First I wrote everything down that it needed to do, then designed almost everything in Sketch.

After that, I build it all in Bubble

The version that is live now took about 8 days, idea to working beta.

attendos··on Not a customer but I want to support your startup
Thanks :) It's not like Patreon, you don't get rewarded for your donations. It's pure to help solo founders get their product to the next level with the help of friends, family, and people that believe in them.
attendos··on Not a customer but I want to support your startup
I found that a lot of people ‘believe’ in what I do and that I will ‘make’ it for sure. I also found that the things I’m building are not for them. They will never use it because they just will never need it. But they would like to support me by sharing the projects with their friends who are most likely also not my targeted audience.

I came up with a way they can support me in the early stages of my startup ideas & can help me get my products to the next level.

“Kickfund.io”

A platform that helps you collect funds from friends, family, people that believe in you as a founder and your ideas, and would like to support your process financially. With a one time or a monthly payment.

Kickfund is for you if you need funding but don’t want to give away equity. It’s for you if you want to make your startup work, but don’t have the time or the focus because you have to make your freelance career work.

Everyone is welcome on the platform to submit their startup ideas it can be live or in the idea phase. Every week/day I select a few startups that will be featured for extra exposure.

Kickfund is not yet live but you can submit your startup already. So your startup will be live the second we go online.

attendos··on Show HN: Start Your Next Product Without Code
Thanks. I think it's good to make your products how you would like them to use yourself. Too many times looking for the support email or contact form myself.
