This is my favorite quote: "In an unintended twist of irony, the agencies seeking to cover their legal ass are party to creating the most criminal of systems – an
unending flow of aeronautical sewage rendering the critical few pieces of information unfindable."
Lol. I was coming to the comments section for this. There must be some challenge here that isn't immediately obvious because I feel that no one has solved this well.
- too many street names make for a noisy/busy/ugly map, and we all know maps must be beautiful and nothing else
- streets don’t pay for ads, businesses do, so between the two they prefer showing the latter.
Technically now you can tap anywhere on the map once to place a pin and get more info; In practice tapping in Google Maps has become horrendous, it never does what you expect. One such example is tapping on a business near a “walkable area”: you can’t. The area will always focus instead, even if painted behind the business.
If anyone has a one-person small business without payroll, I liked GnuCash for my consulting work (including abusing the invoicing system for time-tracking). https://gnucash.org/
If I had to do payroll, I'd probably try to find a SaaS that I could contractually lock to strict confidentiality. I wouldn't be in the business of saving pennies by selling out my employees' privacy.

This does not even remotely exist.
Getting anybody to do payroll for you means signing reams and reams of fine print where you absolve them, indemnify them, hold them harmless, and agree to bear their children. Well, maybe not the last part.
It's a nightmare.
It's somewhat expectable though. They're selling a service to people who don't want to deal with red tape (i.e. payroll) and read fine print (which is basically what doing your own payroll amounts to -- a lot of that). So their customer base is strongly self-selected for being susceptible to fine-print abuse.
Gusto. They automatically pay my taxes, employees, do all the HRIS functions, and file forms with government entities. This is my first year with them, but so far, I'm pretty happy.
Thanks and awesome to hear! There's a much wider audience we're targeting - salespeople - but we got lots of excited traction with startup CEOs, and launched with a free tier of the product to see how it continues to garner traction in that usecase.
We just decided to start blogging. We're aiming to build an audience with our customer base prior to launching v1 of our product.
Topics: We are aiming to choose topics that will provide insights, thoughts, and solutions that will add value to the day-to-day business happenings of our audience.
Promote: We have a mailing list of folks interested in the upcoming launch of Molo so we'll use that, Twitter, and news aggregators from our industry.
Does it Work: Hopefully, we have an advisor who is also doing B2B SaaS and he has found great value and good leads coming from the blogging he does. Only time will tell for us.
