Wondering if anyone thinks differently. Would love to see them also compare their model with ChatGPT 4o.
shawnpang··on Ask HN: Why is Techmeme so successful?
I am a huge fan of a similar product in China - https://tophub.today/

Wish someone could have made a better version. https://techurls.com/ has better user interface but seems like some contents are not being updated.

shawnpang··on Ask HN: How do you know it's time for you to quit your FAANG job?
Thanks! I don't know HackerNews even have the editing feature... but will make that more clear next time!
shawnpang··on Ask HN: Do you trust SaaS software made by China teams?
This is the most objective answer! If a Chinese SaaS company wants to grow in US/EU, compliance is a place they must invest in.
shawnpang··on Ask HN: Do you trust SaaS software made by China teams?
How would your customers find out about this tho.
shawnpang··on Ask HN: Do you trust SaaS software made by China teams?
Ya I see many people having the same opinion as you.

When it comes to consumer internet products, where the product was created doesn't matter that much honestly. There isn't that much at stake. But if it comes to enterprise software the risk needs to be measured.

shawnpang··on Ask HN: Do you trust SaaS software made by China teams?
Singapore is often a choice for those Chinese companies as well. It's hard to define a "Chinese company". There are many Chinese Americans / Chinese Canadians doing business in North America, myself included. If all of their team members and the legal entity are in the US, are they still a Chinese company?
shawnpang··on Show HN: I made an app people call "Airdrop for Android"
This kinda reminds of the previous project that created "iMessage for Android"...
shawnpang··on Ask HN: What are your go-to strategies to presale and/or validate your idea?
- build a demo and walk to your customers to see them use it in person (maybe in a wework location) - build a landing page for your product and launch paid ads on social media to see visitor's reaction - build a sales deck, pitch to your enterprise customers and ask for a letter of intent

the key is to find a way to learn how your target customers react to your product/solution
