I'm just right now in a slightly similar position. We have more than 20 companies ready to sign big contracts, but it is impossible to raise any money for company structure.

Several customers and employees have expressed their confidence in me personally.

But with this company's attitude, it is impossible to go any further. After more than a month of struggles on what needed to be the next step, I decided to move on from the project: too many risks for the company composition.

So think twice about it. I know it is a tough situation.

If you want to chat about it personally I would be happy to chat and support you!

Summary:

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with work, requests, or complaints and in need of assistance to alleviate the pressure, enhance communication, facilitate organization, prioritize tasks, and foster greater trust and transparency?

Alternatively, I can work as a full stack developer.

AWS Community builder, AWS User group Leader, public speaker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdu58NAQfU0&t=271s)

Or perhaps you need both? =)

I have 4+ years of experience as a product manager and 8 in product development (before pm: agile coach, UX designer, and developer).

I've been the co-founder of the open-core company behind the OSS project Leapp (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp)

Please feel free to reach out.

It also can prevent some documentation pages to be under login only?

Great idea! I was looking for something like that.

A legend on badges would be great :)

Yeah this looks weird. I've posted some Ask HN lately with many comments and impression, but there are not in the Ask Wallpost.

I really don't think so, because even now I see no changes

nothing happens. I don't know why and this is sad because I really like the YCombinator community

It depends on what you need to track. For my startup the thing is that open-source developers are sensitive about data and do now want to share them with you. As pointed there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35358384

For the website you can create a cookie cosent or use a privacy focused alternative like https://matomo.org/

No decision at all has been made for the OSS project.

I'm not a fan of VScode, I'm a proud JetBrains user.

I'm only trying to have a landscape on this fact, Thanks for your thoughts btw

This is why the project handle all data locally only.

Adding an opt-in for telemetry is largely used in App that handle high sensitive data, like VScode and Insomnia API are handling them. The only data to be collected is when the App is active and when the app is inactive.

But I understand tour point of view

> Having a feedback button that launches a plain old mailto: link might be a good balance to provide an additional mechanism to learn about users' pain points.

This could be a great addiction to the Issues mechanism of GitHub. We've already added a preformat way to open an issue with Leapp directly from the app. But I don't know if this is enough

I don't want to see the post just from the PostHog side, which is biased by definition.

VSCode and Insomnia(https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/5416) taken as electron-based App examples are doing the same with an opt-out telemetry.

As said by them: "Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features"

What are your thoughts on that?

I agree.

Tracking is bad. But having a telemetry on the usage can drastically improve the solidity of an OSS project, especially if the usage is growing vertically.

As I pointed out, the OSS project right now have no information at all about the usage of it

In the last two years, I started listening to podcasts more and more, and there is a polar star for the Startup and growth section:

- https://www.lennyspodcast.com/ - Thanks, Lenny, for your work. I'm getting addicted to your weekly episode.

There are many exciting podcasts and blogs for the Cloud-side, but the level is heterogeneous. - https://cloudsecuritypodcast.tv - Cloud security vertical podcast episodes are long, but most are interesting. I found it more inspirational than knowledgeable, but it is a good resource.

- https://blog.awsfundamentals.com/ - Tobias and Sandro are doing a fantastic job with infographics to explain more readily the Fundamentals of AWS

What are your advice to have a good content?

A few suggestion: - start with a password manager (I will suggest https://1password.com). For any service outside the cloud this should be fine

- Where possible enable SSO, even for AWS or other cloud services (https://blog.leapp.cloud/how-to-saml-federate-your-aws-accou...). Here an example on how to do it with GSuite and aws

- For all your employees I can advice you Leapp as open-source project (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp). It solve mayor of the problem listed here:

. Responsable for the AWS infrastructure get the IAM Security standard on track (short-lived credentials, MFA, IAM Users secured, rotation of credentials and access to the console with a set of secured credentials, and generation of Azure ceredentials)

. temporary tokens are mandatory, so let a project like leapp locally manage IAC credentials for you.

- Is not too strictly to manage pipelines only after confirmation? You can create a specific role for managing a specific policy to deploy your pipelines. Here an article on how to start organizing your AWS account as a startup (https://blog.leapp.cloud/aws-multi-account-strategy-explaine...)

- "People work on their own devices.": that's why Leapp has been created, check it out.

- Optional: "It would be good if developers get credentials to setup small test environments in AWS." how anout creating a sandbox account for them? - "Bonus: How to manage non-technical secrets" even here, Leapp is a desktop app and is vastly used also for accessing to EC2 instances even for not technical people

I hope this guide can help you!
