I’ll be needing email soon for what I’m building, I may try this. I’ve worked on emails at a past startup and would like to avoid the dread…
I will say I find the pricing quite concerning. Free until 1000, 50 / 5000, but then I have to contact you? Am I understanding correctly, 5000 subscribed users doesn’t seem like that much.
For what it’s worth I went to customer.io to compare pricing and found there’s so confusing I was lazy to figure it out…so I do appreciate the simplicity
From the home page, clicking on Pricing does absolutely nothing. Clicking on other things in the menu goes to those pages, although by opening a new tab in a very user-unfriendly way. Maybe it's gated on having created an account first, but personally I wouldn't create an account without first having any information on pricing first, because there's a high likelihood that I might just be wasting my time.
Cool ideas, took a brief look but I’ll need to dig in when I’m at my computer.
On a sidenote, I was startled by the tailwind mention. Am I out of the loop? Is it not just some css classes? Why is it being compared to React? I’ve used tailwind casually a few times and dont remember it increasing my build size very much at all.
Please check the original post. This is a launch of the first item (Nue JS) in a new, uccoming frontend development ecosystem. One part of the ecosystem is a project called "Nue CSS", which aims to bring developers back to more standards based CSS development and it emphasizes that separation of concerns is a good thing (and not a bad thing as TW states).
Good advice. Building your own stuff, regardless of how silly/small the app is, showing it off and being PASSIONATE about it, come off very strong in an interview in my experience. And yes, networks never hurt anyone
It's very high-risk. I guess it's a philosophical question of whether you think the public deserves the right to take super high risks and invest in startups (1000x more risky than the public market given there is no secondary market).
On one hand you'd think the people with the least amount of money are the ones that need the options to take risks the MOST. To get out of their situation.
On the other hand, will this help them? Will the companies be good enough? Will they provide returns. Is helping 1% of people escape their situation worth it for the other 99% that will invest in startups that fail.
There are four concepts that we are testing to mitigate risk to the general public:
1) We have a screening committee with deep operational experience (we have 50 founders that ran companies collectively valued close to $4B) to identify the founders most likely to be successful. We have more operational experience and industry insight than your general partner at a venture fund.
2) We attracted exceptional startups to broaden our applicant pipeline by making it open to the global community and guaranteed a $50k pre-seed investment.
3) A three month period where startups were mentored, stress tested, and cleared for launch.
4) Finally, as with all investments on Wefunder, company risk and financials risks are made transparent for the public.
Successful companies often have the greatest value creation at their early stages. It is unfair to only limit this value creation to "accredited" millionaires and billionaires. In a world where payday loans and lottery system prey on the poor, we are trying to create a system of equitable wealth creation, for everyone.
One thing to note is that the SEC does limit the amount non-accredited investors could invest here to:
$2,200 or
5 percent of the lesser of the investor’s annual income or net worth.
So while yeah investing in startups is risky, they can't bet the house.
So if the supervisor (“parent”) has other children, they won’t be restarted
