Glad to hear you would find this useful. Good call about data security, you can read more about how we protect our data here https://www.workast.com/security/ We use MongoDB Cloud to manage our database with encryption on transit and at rest. Allowing users to encrypt the data with their own keys will mean that text search at least wont be possible (at least at scale)
Would love to chat more if you are interested guillermo [at] workast . com
Another productivity founder joining the discussion. Congratulations on your launch! I built https://www.workast.com with similar motivations, but our go-to-market strategy was to focus on teams that use Slack to communicate, and we still do today. While there is tons of competition out there, the market is big enough for all of us to share. It is a bumpy ride but today we are a profitable business. All the best!
While everything that has been said about Tether seems valid, not sure what is true and not, it is definitely suspicious. But after reading all comments, I am wondering, isn't the whole financial system also a house of cards? Can we talk about the amount of debt on student loans, credit cards, house loans, those ridiculous low interest rate, the amount of $usd that is being printed and giving it away ?
And all of those financial instruments are controlled by the same people that have been "cracking down on stablecoins/crypto"...
So my question is, who can we trust? we were born with banks around us so we kind of trust them, but can you imagine the level of corruption that existed when they were being created? how many financial institutions disappear with everyones money...
We are just at the early days of crypto, there is people trying to make good things and people trying to make a quick win taking advantage of the current status.
> isn't the whole financial system also a house of cards
Yes. But importantly, it's a house of cards guaranteed by all the money and force of the government of $major_power.

The vast majority of people are not capable of understanding either the economics or technology involved without investing an unreasonable amount of time. (I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't, and I certainly understand more of the tech and probably understand more of the economics than 99% of the US population...)
Feature request: Allow to connect TradingView alarms to this. TV alarms allows for webhooks to be called. If you guys allow that to be a trigger for the rules, then you don't have to worry about adding indicators. TV has by far the best collection of indicators, strategies, etc, so why not just supporting the alerts?
Alternatively, maybe somehow support TV indicators? Not sure if "pine" (I think is the name of the language) is open source.
Saving / Deploying after every keystroke is not really what I want. I rather have a Save button so I have time to fix any errors because sometimes it just hangs there for a while saving/deploying something that I don't really need. In this topic, maybe seeing something more other than a progress bar, so I know that something is actually happening.

That’s great feedback, thanks so much. We want to perfect the editor experience as much as possible. It can’t ever completely replace local, though, so we hope we can release our API in the future for this use case.
No problem! I think an option to disable "auto-save" will just fix this for me. Because I always have to "wait" to press Run. I would rather wait after pressing Run.
My opinion as someone who is running a SaaS business:
- Annual contracts are better than month-to-month, because you will get a customer for a year in most cases, extending your LTV
- Customer choose annual not only for the pricing discount but speaks to their commitment with your solution. I take it as a great product market fit indicator.
- Your price should be aligned with your competition. You can increase prices for new users but don't increase the price for your existing pay customers.
- Offer your monthly customers the option to upgrade to annual as well
I was born in Argentina, I understand the pain. People that don't have credit cards is mostly because:
a. they are not in the financial system, meaning they get paid in cash, etc
b. they get paid too little or they have debt so their score is low and therefore they don't get access to a card
Your solution seems to be more suitable for people that can actually access a credit card but they find them "hard" so they can opt for something like your solution.
In Mexico and other countries in LATAM, there are huge department stores that have built their own banks to give their customers credit to purchase on the store. Combined, these stores have ~20 million customers and are some of the largest banks in Mexico.
Our solution it's focused on these customers, who already have some sort of credit but find paying their purchases on installments easier, more affordable and transparent than getting with a credit card.
We are enabling other merchant that aren't as big or don't having the ability to offer financing to offer this option to the customers.
Yes, exactly. It’s just like that but think as if SEARS had built the bank itself. It’s crazy but here literally two of the largest banks were created this way
My suggestion is that the project should be open source, like Electorn or RN, otherwise will be hard to get adoption.
Revenue streams ideas:
1. Build a deployment tool, where you take care of building the apps for the different OS, basically bridge the gap from code to final binary
2. Offer support / consulting hours "from the experts"
3. Force some kind of ad/watermark/screen on the app where you can see the name of the project and website. In order to remove this you will need a key or build the project using the service I described in point 1.
Happy to chat and discuss in more details. Good luck!
