Thats an interesting perspective. Maybe narrow down the cold outreach based on research such that you're sure your product will fit into their stack?

It just seems hard to believe that cold outreach won't work for SaaS


It definitely works to some degree, I just think it might be better to first work your way through your "warm" network i.e. companies to which people that know and trust you or your product can make qualified introductions.

As I said I think if you can hire a professional sales team they will make it work, but that usually takes one year and costs a signficiant amount of money, so for an early stage startup it's often out of reach and very risky.


I'm telling you flat out it works EXTREMELY well.


This is super cool. I'm curious if OP engages in cold emails to scout for leads.


this is interesting! thanks for sharing


My pleasure :)

Amazing piece btw


Thanks, this was a great discussion to go over.


It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Twitter seems to be going w/ the ethos.


> Jumped ship to Sublime when it was released because it was evolving much quicker. Was glad to have backwards compat on a lot of things like themes. Still have my modified “Made or Code” theme kicking today. Tried TM2 a ton during the betas but never managed to reach the same level of productivity as Sublime. My muscle memory is too strong now and I can’t find any reason to leave.

That's an interesting comparison. I completely agree that VSCode is the rage right now. Sublime was big 2014-2016. I'm surprised atom isn't as popular (I suspect its because of the awful loading time)


That’s why I never switched from Sublime to Atom, the general slowness was just too frustrating. Not just the load time, but things like opening large-ish files or global find/replace. VSCode kind of feels like how Atom should have been, fully featured with lots of great plugins but also snappy. I still keep Sublime in my toolbox in case I have to open a huge file or something.



"atom" probably includes searches for the particle, not just the editor, so not really fair comparison.

Also "vs code" trends higher than "visual studio code", so take all of these results with a pinch of salt.


Except for the fact that you can “type hint” your query term (in this case, Atom: Text Editor), which the referenced URL does.


If you look it says "Atom - Text Editor"


That graph shows it was almost as popular in 2004 as it is today, so obviously that term isn't just referring to the editor. (since it wasn't released until 2015)


But if you select "Visual Studio Code - Text Editor", then that one becomes the most popular - see link I posted above


If you select the appropriate topics as opposed to raw search terms, you get a very different picture https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%...


I recently started using kindle highlights along with https://readwise.io/ and it works like a charm!


Thank you very much for that tip! Tried it, fell in love with it immediately. It imported my highlights from my Kindle and from my iBooks library and shows me my Highlights in a much better way than Amazon's web interface is able to do (https://lesen.amazon.de/notebook?ref_=kcr_notebook_lib)

Also, it allows me to export all of my highlights.

Finally it adds a gamification dimension, showing me random five hightlights from my books.

PS: Through this site I learned that my Kindle highlights reside in a in file called `My Clippings.txt` (in /Volumes/Kindle/documents/My Clippings.txt) This is something I always wanted to know, because I have many books I uploaded to my Kindle device via USB (so no clound sync available).


What is the format of the 'My Clippings.txt' file? The reason I am asking is because I use Google Play Books most of the time. All highlights in Google Play Books is stored in Google Docs under "Highlights _Book_Name_" and I am wondering if readwise works for those.


Hey there, Readwise founder here.

Unfortunately 'My Clippings.txt' is a narrowly (and honestly, pretty awfully) defined format that Kindle devices generate. So that won't work for Google Play Books.

That being said, we want to build a separate Google Play Books importing tool -- it's on our roadmap!


What do you think about https://booxia.wensia.com ?


Do you mind expanding how you use that service?

+1, also like how clean this theme is. Worships whitespace too.


They are real minimalists, Lol.


Within the e-commerce niche, conversions matter the most - how you convert a window shopper into an actual buyer. This means removing all sorts of friction points. Turns out PWA is really good at page load and it works just fine.

Flipkart, a major e-commerce firm in India, increased its conversions by 70% just through their PWA approach: https://developers.google.com/web/showcase/2016/flipkart
