dzenoson Ask HN: Should we abandon our product?

Actually, we did through our YC SS network. We talked to Kan's co-founder who confirmed that lawyers do have this problem, but kind of they themselves don't know how to approach it. The reason: It's hard to make them switch and use new technology.

There is no pricing page because we haven't identified the market yet (as we wrote above). Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback!

You mean the landing page: how we pitch the product? Or video presentation?

A plugin could be an interesting option, thanks.

dzenoson Ask HN: Should we abandon our product?

That’s basically what we’ve been attempting. We tried to target just one user group at a time, but everyone seemed to have their own different vision of what this should be. At this point we don’t feel too confident with spending several more months developing targeted features for someone, only to find out it was all in vain.

  “Did they actually ask you for an account to use? Did they ask when it would go live so they could pay you?”

No, they haven’t. They all missed some features before they’d be willing to commit. We realise most of these people were probably just trying to be nice :)

  “The only group I could reasonably see paying for this are the lawyers, and I don’t see it happening
  (they’re not know for being cutting-edge in tech adoption). But I’ve been wrong before :)”

Exactly, you’re not wrong, we’ve reached the same conclusion. Lawyers really suffer from this problem and see us as a potentially great solution but as one of them put it: “It took us 10 years to learn MS Word, we are not changing to something new.”

Thanks for the honest feedback!

dzenoson Ask HN: Should we abandon our product?

Marketing/sales are definitely one of our biggest issues. We understand that there are many enterprise document management systems, and that is exactly why we went to those markets where companies/users cannot afford those expensive EMS, or they are simply too complex for their needs. We want to pivot, and that is exactly what this post is all about. Thank you.

dzenoson Show HN: Professional profile management tool built using React

I suggest unmounting Joyride component after you go through the tutorial. It makes unnecessary renders after whatever else you do (e.g. changing the content/ on save).

Maybe including "AI or Deep Learning" would boost it even more next time.

Why "React" in the post title? It's kind of irrelevant info in this case :)

dzenoson Ask HN: Projects that don't make you money but you're doing it out of sheer joy?

Building https://tuiqo.com to try and solve a document versioning problem. We realized that even though we created a new way to do document version control and avoid "v1.doc, v2.doc, final_final.doc" problem; people won't switch to it because of lack of options such as formatting tools or any other pure editor features. We are thinking of possible pivots we could try out and we obviously don't have a product-market fit.

dzenoson Show HN: Tuiqo – Document versioning made simple

I agree and we will remove it. I think we will make it appear only once. The goal was to remind that you should make an account if you want to keep docs that you created since you can try it out without registering.

dzenoson Show HN: Tuiqo – Document versioning made simple

Thank you very much! We are still experimenting to find our target audience and so we are testing it with attorneys, academics, writers, and businesses. This will lead to further development to find the product-market fit. We got interest from all mentioned segments.

Currently, we are building collaboration and thus moving towards B2B (law firms, tech companies).

You are completely right regarding the .doc format. We are working on it. Also, we are trying to have 'templating' option so companies can have custom output design.

dzenoson Show HN: Tuiqo – Document versioning made simple

Dzeno, co-founder at Tuiqo here.

Tuiqo allows you to work on many versions of your text at the same time, from within one document. It saves time wasted on tracking changes, creating multiple versions of the same document and reviews. We have completely changed the document structure for more intuitive writing, editing, and collaboration.

Here is the short demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5du9x9JKjDA

We're looking forward to your feedback or questions!

dzenoson Startup School 2017 Presentations

YC SS helped us a lot, thanks to everyone making it happen.

We just launched Tuiqo (simple document versioning) and this is our presentation: https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/215

"Email it to each other as an agreed contract." - But this makes it super hard to find the particular version and to be on the same page. This really leads to multiple versions of the same document and thus it is easy to lose work and information; common to work on an outdated version; difficult to know who did what and when; hard to track comments and versions.

Just signed up with our solution on demandrush: Tuiqo, simple document versioning - https://tuiqo.com. We just graduated from YC Startup School Founders track.

Thank you! The current features will be the building blocks for our version control/global revisions. We’re working on it and hope to release it soon.

dzenoson Machine Learning books suggested by Michael I. Jordan from Berkeley

I would suggest "Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow" if you search for a practical approach.

Tuiqo - Document versioning for humans

Tuiqo allows you to work on many versions of your text at the same time, from within one document. It is the easiest way to revise your text and organize document versions.

dzenoson Ask HN: What are you working on?

Hey, thanks for replying! This definitely shouldn’t be happening, would you mind sharing which browser/OS you’re using? Do you maybe have cookies/javascript disabled? You can send a quick mail to dzeno at tuiqo.com if you want.

dzenoson Ask HN: What are you working on?

Problem: We believe document versioning is broken for most people: writers, attorneys, academics, journalists, etc. We engineers have Github, but others don’t. So, we decided to solve this problem and create Tuiqo

Project: Document versioning for humans

We built a prototype: http://tuiqo.com (video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBj8ezqLCOs). We are accepted to YC Startup school founders track.

dzenoson Magic: The Gathering Is Turing Complete (v5)

I'm not a Magic player personally, but I learnt about it through the project I did on this game. Learnt how complex it is and really good for doing different analysis. We created a Deck Builder Toolkit, which should help inexperienced players to build their card deck in order to improve card synergies and overall success ratio. Fortunately my team mate was experienced player while we were building this. If anyone interested, you can check project info here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hojm1rfqgkz5dn4/Poster.pdf?dl=0 And Git repo here: https://github.com/dzeno/deck-builder-toolkit
