Thanks for the feedback - so far this hasn't been a barrier to our adoption, but we may provide source access as part of an enterprise package. Do you have some examples of SaaS companies that have succeeded with the model you suggest?


Thanks for sharing. Which subreddits helped you?


/Startups has a "Share Your Startup" each month which is great


If you want a customizable life calendar like this as your homepage, I made one that's usable as a bookmark or Chrome extension: http://count.life


> If Canada wants to do something for startups, they should setup a sovereign wealth fund that does early stage investment in Canadian companies -- and then it should actively help make those companies successful.

The Business Development Bank of Canada (a financial institution owned by the federal government) actually does this - it has a venture fund that's one of the largest in Canada.

Wow, that's comprehensive. The Net Promoter survey is very powerful, if you've never used it: once you've identified and bucketed all of your users who give you a 9 or 10, you can hit them up for referrals, reviews, and shares, and skip all the users who might not have anything nice to say about you.


Yeah we like NPS a lot. Not only can you segment and specifically reach out to 9s and 10s, but you can dynamically fill your emails. So for example your standard footer could say "share for x bonus" if they're a 8-10, but "give feedback for x bonus" for <8.

It's actually a refundable tax credit. You receive it even if you have no income or profit (and paid no taxes).


> You don't have to submit hour-by-hour breakdowns either. You submit what % of an engineers time was spent on SR&ED work and what the engineer's salary is. That's it.

OP here - the breakdowns and spreadsheets shown in this piece were designed by or with the CRA during the CRA's technical audits of one of my companies. The evidence log screenshot, for instance, was a template provided to us during the technical review that we were required to complete. (The claim was eventually accepted unadjusted FWIW.)


I use it (with Recurly). It's fantastic, especially since Recurly's built-in reports don't seem to jive with reality (for instance by ignoring coupons on subscriptions). The multi-user support and email alerts are also useful.


Hi benjaminfox,

Great to hear you're using and liking ChartMogul...that's great!


Great advice in here. I'm always surprised by how many web apps send me a friendly, personalized welcome email from a "do not reply" email address.


This is a big one many people miss.


These links don't preserve intent for users who don't already have the app, due to the App Store's and Google Play's problems with attributing app downloads.

My company, Tapstream, fixes this by pairing our attribution platform with a deep link redirector - users who have the app already are deep linked, and users who don't have the app are sent to the App Store.

Then, once the new user installs the app, the app receives a callback with the user's source and any query string parameters on the original link. Docs: https://tapstream.com/developer/deferred-deep-links/
