It is optional to get 20% discount by default. So the credit is basically used toward the sticker orders anyways. It's best if someone prefer to do a monthly allowance (for their kids).
My teenage son is starting to get very interested in AI coding with Replit, Lovable then Claude. He started to design stickers using Gemini for our preschool daughter. Recently he puts together some mockup and I helped him through the finish line with backend APIs and other integration with Stripe, Supabase, etc..
The idea is simple: anyone can sign up for a free account to generate AI stickers, then order the print and round/square/kiss/die cut sheet for the exact sticker image.
Happy to get any thought or DM me for security issues (would appreciate it).
Not sure if anyone recalls Famo.us which used to focus on web animation and make it programmable although they don't have the client app like Haiku. However, their claim was that they "cracked" the web animation performance. Well it didn't work for them (basic performance test would tell otherwise - duh!). Why is Haiku able to achieve such awesome performance on the web like this for animation? I also saw Greensock and they did a very good job as well. I am curious on what's the secret sauce here and whether there is any performance comparison (sorry for loaded questions there).
Depending on how sophisticated your prototypes are (or something I can google and do myself), there are definitely values. But you need to share more info for me to advise. I do look for HW prototyping services sometime but it'd require someone who knows specialized fields (fluid physics). You should start to test by doing a bunch of videos to post of social media and see what kind of responses there are.
I am curious to see any success story on HARO as well. I tried it on and off for ONE YEAR like the author but I was being very picky. I got just a few responses and none turned into anything material enough to justify for time waste.
Washington wildlife and forest protection is dead serious. I mean they invested a ton to enforce the rules and make sure people doing wrong things got punished. I, one time, got a $150 ticket just because I was a bit curious and dug into the sand for some geoduck.
I am very close to making the decision to the same path you took (with family and kid of course). I know each case is different but how long did bootstrapping take for you? I already put saving aside for one year (covering insurance and mortgage plus other minimal living cost). I imagine I need earn at least $85K in a year to survive the second year and so on (based on cost of living in my area). I am also thinking about doing random consulting here and there, to supplement the income of building a product. But I know it's always a trap.
I got a question about severance and new job. Some companies (like mine) will ask you to report new job and they will cut severance (monthly salary). If so, how do you deal with that? Many of my previous co-workers told me they just lied and the company never checked (all verbal or writing).
1. Search my competitors and collect 3-4 ToS pages
2. Read each of them and copy their paragraphs into mine
3. Re-word some to make sure my ToS is unique. If something is too confusing or too much, delete.
4. Stop worry about it until my startup gets some traction.
The whole process should not take more than 2-3 hours. If you pay $$ or take days on ToS while your startup is not even getting traction, you're doing something seriously wrong (in term of time spent).
I use shared hosting too and I got into cPanel like 3 times a year for 2 min each. Sure, it needs to be there but regardless it fills the needs already.
1. Firefox crashes would take down the entire browser, not just specific tab
2. I often load a lot of tweets in Twitter.com tab (back 4 hours). This causes Firefox to freeze.
3. If I refresh the slow tab, I watch memory not being clean and still stay there for several minutes. Chrome clears memory very quickly.
4. Why is the space around address bar so large? They are like 15 px top and bottom. What a waste.
5. Postman is only Chrome
6. Chrome Dev Tools is 10x better
I have no complain about CSS rendering issues or anything like that. It's mainly just performance. Also I tend to use Firefox in the firewall because the Proxy feature works quite well to connect to my internal lab.
The pricing seems cheap if I read it right. I only ship few hundred items per month and it's small enough to fit in my basement room (100 sqft). So I guess storage cost is like $50/mo and $3/item shipping out? That's not bad at all if correct.
