Replace “Medium” with internet. Otherwise this is just a paid promo piece for Medium

Its a pain in da arse to support brotli decoding in Ruby (not sure about other languages) so when I send http requests, i just omit it in the request headers

1. How does it know how/when to reschedule that doctor's appointment that you need to call to reschedule? How do you know that receptionist won't hang up on your "AI agent" who tries to call them, b/c they think it's some sort of scam bot?

2. How does it know which contacts to contact? Does that acquaintance you talked to for some professional reason need to know your flight got rescheduled? What about that travel agency you talked to last night to confirm the flight?

Mark them as spam and it will affect their deliverability rates

I highly doubt any agency will enforce violations since there would be thousands of companies in violation

This. If something "worked", then nobody would share it, or it's so popular that everyone has everyone applied it, and it doesn't work anymore.

Just because there hasnt been a story doesnt mean its not important or critical

That, and when people ask me about my problems, i tell them about it. But then i realize they want to know about problems that have a scalable or easy solution they can build.

In other words, I gave them my damn problem but they arent interested in solving them.

So no, i aint talking to you about my problems anymore

Exactly, if you are waiting to make something that very very few ppl are doing, you will be waiting a lifetime. That or the market is extremely small to be profitable.

Throwing away old code and rewriting it in a sexy, new language also takes time away from projects that are actually meaningfully innovative: ie projects that help customers do more, or be more efficient

Does this affect extensions that know every website you visit even if it doesnt need to know, and has nothing to do with the extension’s functionality? (ie the ones that Similarweb buys)

For those unaware, what is uBO and how would it affect most extensions?

How is this different/unique than the thousands of other competitors that pretty much promise the same thing? sorry if it sounds dismissive of your product, but that's my first impression, and probably a lot of other ppl's too, so would be good to get a good answer...

That’s not a bug. Thats a feature. When I request desktop view in my iphone, it should just treat me as a desktop user. I know its buggy. I know its a horrible experience but I just wanna see what its like.

Now I wont even check it out because I didnt get that first impression on my phone. I will just forget it.

Just my 2c

altdataseller — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 23:54:17 +0000

You are basically asking a $1m question. And expecting someone to answer it for free.

And you aren’t even sharing your product with us.

I am not helping a random person with such an open ended question without at least knowing what this tool is. So share the tool.

Otherwise good luck finding what you need.

New comment by altdataseller in "Show HN: I built a chatbot to converse with 3M SaaS product reviews"

altdataseller — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 21:57:10 +0000

The problem is I don't trust all those SaaS reviews in sites like G2, TrustRadius, Gartner etc. A lot of them are paid, and incentivized. Heck, I personally wrote a few nonsense ones just to get free gift cards. But I know some people give our free credits or discounts if you write a review for them.

Even a lot of "free" reviews on Reddit are secretly posted by the company, or someone who got paid by the company.

[UPDATE] Just tried the tool. 7 of the 8 bullet points your tool gave me was also given to me by Claude. I think both are using similar data sources, so I fail to see what differentiates this tool

Unfortunately those are the same people in charge of buying decisions in big companies…

altdataseller — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 15:30:23 +0000

A lot of them are either companies that were once customers but unsubscribed, or just one off individuals from those companies that tried it once, but never deployed it to a larger group.
