I think it may affect their ad revenue adversely, as users will just block website from which they see too many ads, in some cases people may just began to use it like a in-build ad blocker.


Well if flowpilot thing can work on Indian highways in such weather conditions it can go a long way in US and Europe.


Very nice and easy to use product. Loved that you provided an live version to try it without any signup wall or anything.

Also won't DocuSign accuse you of "misleading" their customers by using a name that is "too similar" to their ?


> won't DocuSign accuse you of "misleading" their customers by using a name that is "too similar"

Docuseal would be the winner with all the free press, and changing a name costs almost nothing.


They should make a seal be the mascot


It does seem on somewhat dangerous ground for "trademark similarity testing", "consumer perception", etc...with "docu-<next word starts with S>".

I'd have gone with "DocSeal" or something that was a harder break from the "DocuSxxx" pattern.


Thanks for pointing this out - it actually didn't expect that because of GitHub and GitLab and i haven't hears any trademark dispures between them. When Gitlab differs from Github by only 2 letters - DocuSeal vs DocuSign is already 3 letters.

But i think that's a valid concern and i need to better investigate this - changing the name shouldn't be a problem when the project is still very new.


Yeah, it's one of those things where there's no definitive guidance, just loose tests. It's possible, for example, that DocuSign wouldn't care.

But, it seems different from GitLab/GitHub since the second word starts differently. GitHut, GitHow, GitHot, etc, vs GitHub would be more similar here.


I'd keep the name and not worry too much (I like it). Going after a small open source project would be bad press for DocuSign and even if they did, it would be a promotion for DocuSeal and you could change the name afterwards.


I think the real problem with the name is that there is a docuseal.co


So in near future can it do to basic custom CRUD apps what WordPress did to websites ?


Demo video is awesome. Loved it.


I see a lot of opposition to Nuclear Energy in EU and particularly Germany, can anyone tell me why ?

As far as I know, only nuclear has power to stop our reliance on fossil fuels as it can produce a constant supply of power and handle energy demand spikes like no other, and for Europe is more important as Russia can just cut energy supply to Europe and it will cause horrible effects to Europe's economy.


lol


It is like cloud spanner and open source.


I really like that about Linode, no click to see crap.


> Uber isn't a startup anymore. It's a publicly traded company.

THIS


I don’t get it. Even publicly traded companies try to zero out end of year profits via reinvestment and salary bonuses. If you did not then you accumulate unused cash which if you decide to pay out to employees later gets double taxed.

But in any case Uber’s industries are still highly competitive (ride sharing and food delivery), so there are plenty of ways for them to reinvest profits rather than accumulate a war chest like a company like Apple (which also was able to do partly because of a tax haven country).

Plus if Uber didn’t reinvest profits their hundreds of competitors would do that and get an edge, many of which are smaller private startups


> If you did not then you accumulate unused cash which if you decide to pay out to employees later gets double taxed.

This is precisely why you look at a Cash Flow statement.
