The IP's belong to Oracle, even weirder !

I saw the site, read the whole page. and I want to buy it. Good marketing.
mariocesar··on Ask HN: Where can I buy SaaS businesses?
I have not do it myself, but I watch someone doing it. Due diligence, Good judgment and knowing how to provision costs are some important keys, but I will say that experience is half of what you need. The first business you buy will be crappy because you will need to learn so many no self evident things, so you better start the with one objective in mind: what do I need to learn?
mariocesar··on Ask HN: Where can I buy SaaS businesses?
There are several places with different quality.

https://microacquire.com

https://empireflippers.com

https://digitalexits.com/listings/

https://feinternational.com/buy-a-website/

https://www.sideprojectors.com/

https://quietlight.com/listings/

Another alternative is finding small niche websites and make an early proposal, and you can find leads in https://betalist.com or search on Twitter "We are shutting down" and phrases like this.

I have this experience looking at someone else doing so. I can tell you it was not fun. Do all your diligence about all the details that matter, trustworthy metrics, IP, real costs, and advertising history; don't trust so easily.

Another piece of advice is to start small, don't buy a 100.000 $us business, start with something less than 5.000 $us, and learn how to measure and reprovision costs; it's not always evident how to continue with an existing business.

mariocesar··on Ask HN: What low-code “dashboarding“ SaaS would you recommend in 2021?
Send metrics to AWS Cloudwatch as custom Metrics.

   aws cloudwatch put-metric-data 
      --metric-name registered_users 
      --namespace MySaaS 
      --value 241
Visualize/Filter/Add Alerts using all the builtin tools from Amazon Cloudwatch, you will need no servers and no configurations. Just run in a cron job a set of queries every 5minutes
mariocesar··on Coinbase to Suspend Trading in XRP
They are protecting themselves to Not being complicit, or better not to look complicit to the SEC.
mariocesar··on Coinbase to Suspend Trading in XRP
> Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Inc said on Monday it would suspend trading in cryptocurrency XRP after U.S. regulators last week charged associated blockchain firm Ripple with conducting a $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering.

It reads to be a good reason to suspend XRP trading

mariocesar··on Show HN: Pop.com – Video Calls, in 3D
Just jump in, and someone was screen sharing a picture of Hitler :D You need a report button! :D

Anyway, great idea! Congrats!

mariocesar··on Ask HN: Would you hire someone to help people learn to use your software?
Those are functions of a Post-Sale role or a Customer Success role, and very often, you see them doing training to customers. In my past job, that was the primary function of the customer success team.

The team asked me a few times to explain technical updates and particular concepts to them to "rephrase" this explanation to the end customers. They either make 1-1 call with the clients pushing "informal" training or prepare text content that they forward by mail to the clients; they also did webinars. Still, they were more familiar to made calls. I know they have a common phrase to start, something like: "Did you know you could do X "faster/better" by using Y from software," all of this to make sure the customers receive constant training into using our software. I understand that principle or the intention here is that when the customer is well trained and uses the software at his full potential, it's better retained and more valuable.

Your friend looks like it will be great in a Customer Success role; you could even open it up to pre and post-sale functions. Allow him to create content to train your customers, communicate to the customers to get feedback, and push better training and understanding of your product. The goal is to maximize retention and increase conversion to post-sales.

I have been working remotely mostly, often for startups and related to web-based projects. 6/10 projects I have been a solo-developer, building from ground doing sysadmin to backend and frontend work. My most recent jobs are related to building ERP/CRM like apps within large teams and Social Network integrations to help community managers.

You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile https://github.com/mariocesar, I often post code snippets in https://gist.github.com/mariocesar

# What is my top skill?

Django projects. I have been working with Django so many years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and fully complete a project.

Even I have been working with React.js since their early days and have created big production-ready projects for it, VUE.js is my to-go tool at the moment.

# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?

aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large applications. I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue clicks with me.

# Somethings that made me happy recently?

The growth of my opensource projects and my Recommendations in Linkedin.

And also the response here in HN, the past year I accepted leads and projects here that I was really happy with the type of projects I get. They are interesting, Fun, and a joy to complete.

mariocesar··on Ask HN: Self-taught webdev with lots of free time. What should I learn?
Find a project that you like, and want to support. You could write a blog post about this, a guide, a historical review of the project, a list of people/companies using it. etc.

Most open-source projects need communication attention more than programming work.

You will do a great helping giving attention to an opensource project.

mariocesar··on Google Drive – How do I stop others from sharing files with me?
Yes! they are still there.
mariocesar··on Google Drive – How do I stop others from sharing files with me?
Just a simple option like "Allow just my contacts to share files with me". I lost so much time with all the spam and malware that is being sent to me just because my gmail account is so public ... :(
mariocesar··on Riot is now Element
Discord is a great name, why the will change it ?
mariocesar··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
The code is not in the center, is not the main thing, they are pushing me to read the sidebar with actually no useful or inmediate information I need.
mariocesar··on GitHub new UI for repositories. More round and code is not in the center
Why from all the positions possible, they had to put the Sidebar to the right? In the PR Sidebar in the right is ok, because all the items are actions, but in the landing page, it feels awkward
mariocesar··on Flatpak – A Security Nightmare (2018)
or you can install in your user directory, current cli of flatpak ask you for this and you can set the default install option for the user directory also
mariocesar··on How the Magic: The Gathering Color Wheel Explains Humanity
I can't read it ...

Reading the comments here feels like when I was a kid and I listen to the TV's neighbour and tried to imagine what about the movie was

mariocesar··on GitHub Classroom
I have used automated when doing online courses, I will not worry about assess the correctnes, because you don't have to take that as the final result. What I did was, if it passes then I will review in depth, and check all you mention.

As in person-to-person interaction when teaching, you don't have to rely in a single way of assess if the student has understand a concept correctly, a Mediocre teachers does that

mariocesar··on Blur Tools for Signal
Retaliation. As it happens for HK Protesters
mariocesar··on Overview of Python dependency management tools
Yes, and yes
mariocesar··on Overview of Python dependency management tools
Yes !! I just create a Makefile target and pip-tools is all I need. I create a requirements.in and that is all. So far never feel that has to be more complicated than that. And when I want to upgrade a package I update the requirements.in if I need to and run `make -B` for this:

  default: requirements-develop.txt
    pip install -r requirements-develop.txt

  requirements.txt:
    pip-compile -v requirements.in

  requirements-develop.txt: requirements.txt
    pip-compile -v requirements-develop.in
I so nice to just write `make` than doing all the Poetry, Pipenv stuff, that honestly I feel is not adding nothing really really useful to the workflow.
mariocesar··on Overview of Python dependency management tools
I just use Pyenv and pip-tools. Create a requirements.in and Makefile targets to build the requirements.txt based on it. So far I haven't find an sceneario where that combination is detrimental.
mariocesar··on But no, 80-column terminals in 2020 isn't “reasonable” any more
> And yes, we do use wide tabs, because that makes indentation something you can visually see in the structure at a glance and on a whole-function basis, rather than something you have to try to visually "line up" things for or count spaces.

That is what he says

mariocesar··on Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account?
The now closed Ubuntu One FileSync service (a Dropbox like service) had a 1 database per user approach. And they were actually using it in top of SQLITE I think. The project is opensource now. And is based on U1DB https://launchpad.net/u1db but I know it didn't get lot of traction.
mariocesar··on I've collected over 600 pitch decks
Will be great to know the source/reference of each deck. How did you get them, where did you get them ?
mariocesar··on I've collected over 600 pitch decks
No way to explore?

I had to search for "a" to have a kind of full list of the presentations.

Will be nice if there is some sort of categories, collections or tags.
