shrutipathak··on The andon cord revolutionised Toyota
In India, we have a rope in local buses that passengers can pull asking the driver for a stop to get down.

Such simple mechanism.

shrutipathak··on Show HN: I built a simple incident alerting system with flat pricing
Interesting. One of the things about PD or the likes is the fact that no matter what I always get alerts.

That's one thing I definitely feel very strongly about.

Also for $7, how would it work

shrutipathak··on How I learned to charge my customers
In the past, I have always only charged for the entire project all at once instead of by the hour.

Main trick to mitigating feature crap I have used is by first I add extra padding to cost.

Second i tell my clients that I provide free maintenance for 2 weeks after the project si delivered. Mostly this helps because clients want speed over reliability. So we push and the next two weeks is bug fixing - sometimes it's three.

However no matter what happens I would never build a new feature in the maintenance period

shrutipathak··on Currents: Have Meaningful Discussions at Work
I get it. Google wants their own Yammer, am I right? That's interesting because I am not sure how many tools would we want to switch context as employees.

Slack? Email? Currents?

In a few years, Google will do it all?

shrutipathak··on Currents: Have Meaningful Discussions at Work
In an email to GSuite admins, Google said that Google+ is to be replaced by Currents.

I was under the belief Google+ is dead. What is happening?

Also, if you roll into currents you can't roll out.

shrutipathak··on Show HN: I made an embeddable user feedback tool – free for open source
Makes sense. But prio as "nice to have" will not hold much ground.

Maybe include a slider to show the pricing and remove the Business plan?

Or maybe not give out everything unlimited for the mid plan?

shrutipathak··on Show HN: I made an embeddable user feedback tool – free for open source
The design looks slick.

Question on Pricing - Starter plan is $19 for 100 users and Business is $75 for 500 users.

Starter plan with 500 users - $79

There is not much difference in the plans either except for Prio* in support

shrutipathak··on Show HN: Chrome Extension; Hover tickers/companies for market data, news
Looks promising. When you say you only collect the URLs and HTML title tags does it mean this doesn't invade privacy at all if your DB is leaked ?
shrutipathak··on Ask HN: How Do You Blog?
As long as you are reaching an audience right!

I like https://dev.to for the same reason. There is no pay but still motivating for sure

shrutipathak··on Ask HN: What is the cheapest way to make a website?
I had no idea about Porkbun.com. Thanks for that.

Some domains I have been looking for seems cheaper than usual.

shrutipathak··on Show HN: Ratemydorm.com
Looks pretty good and super handy. You can actually rule this space with SEO itself.
shrutipathak··on Show HN: Bear – Minimal blogging platform
Ditto. I thought this is a new product by bear. Got me excited for a bit.

I wonder if trademark would kick in later for this.

shrutipathak··on India’s contact tracing app is going open source
How would just open sourcing the code imply that surveillance is fake news?
shrutipathak··on What Happened to the Guys Who Invested Their Life Savings in Cryptocurrency?
Never invest in something you don't understand.

Words to live by.

shrutipathak··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2019 – Show and tell

Husband doesn’t talk about it a lot.

shrutipathak··on [dead]
More ads than news website.
shrutipathak··on Ask HN: are pwd managers more secure?
You could lose the piece of paper making all your passwords vulnerable. My colleague stored all passwords on a note in the phone and lost the phone on vacation.

I had to change all the passwords immediately because of this. Even if i have 1Password on the lost phone, i don't see how anyone could get inside of it

shrutipathak··on Show HN: A GitHub bot that cheers you up
This is amazing. Just have to make sure it doesn't pop up ALL THE TIME.
shrutipathak··on Show HN: DBML – simple DSL language to document database schemas
That's exactly what i was wondering. DBML should totally be agnostic so i could use with any DB i wish.
shrutipathak··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2019)
I am in GMT +530.

Do you accept applications in this case?
