Good point! I don't understand why this link received so many points.

Nice! I made something very similar, but with a focus on frequent daily use, means no clicking required, you can only use keys

Look at stringify.cc

When we logged into the tax portal, only this amount was shown as to pay. Terrible UX.

In fact, the fine was actually what we paid (minimum tax + missed deadline + interest).

“Normal fine”: We just didn't expect you to be able to incorporate a company and if you miss the tax payment deadline, you will receive a fine 100 times higher than the cost of incorporating the company, no matter what.

But of course, I don't recommend our way. Don't do it. It was wrong. Pay your taxes. Fill out all the required documents.

Good question. We have considered all options. But the company cannot be officially closed without paying all taxes/fines, etc.

At the same time, with a C corp, only the company itself is liable for taxes and fines, not its founders. If a company does not have sufficient funds, it cannot operate, and there is a process for automatically dissolving the company (after several years, if you have no outstanding obligations to third parties, no fraud intentions, etc.). We didn't want to do this and be left with an unpaid bill in our minds.

Our target market was US, so US company was the first and only choice.

I agree, and I think we knew that even back then!

However, we thought that starting a company would motivate us because we would be "commited" and this would demonstrate to each other that we were serious about it, given that we all had other jobs. And to this day, I still think it has some meaning.

Well sure :) but we expected to pay a "normal" fine, not $60,000 right away. Especially since we had zero revenue. Today we would do many things differently...

Haha, I see people talking about slides everywhere, from specific moment in my life... that's when I started coding slidepicker.com!

Anyway, nice work! I created something similar for our product (a list of divs that switch visibility based on keyboard input).

Thank you! Exactly this "It is JSON with some fingerprinting/hashing send over Websocket" should be write there somewhere + put a link to the documentation and an example of how to use it. I don't want to watch an hour-long video.

I don't understand. Can someone explain it to me from a technical/IT perspective? Is it like HTTP or JSON, or like XMPP...?

"An open protocol with a chance of working" = ?huh? "Nostr doesn't subscribe to political ideals of "free speech"" = ???huh? "BEEP BOOP" ???wtf??

Please don't explain technical things as if you were talking to children. Explain them as if you were talking to a colleague sitting next to you. Talk to them as a person and as a professional.
