Think https://flexiple.com/ is one example, a marketplace more than a SaaS, though

Hey, see if you find some useful reads here: https://www.gorelay.co/tag/pricing

There are interviews and conversations with SaaS founders (like Sunsama's founder, Podia's founder, Trello's founders) on how they have thought about pricing their product, both high and low.

New comment by asthar in "Ask HN: I did not get pay rise – as only person in team. Should I quit?"

asthar — Thu, 26 May 2022 17:35:28 +0000

It sounds like emotional support from your boss is important to you. It also sounds like your current manager isn't someone who can provide that (refusing to talk validates this). I personally think that your work place should feel psychologically safe and should enable you to thrive (very important for your long-term career success). You are probably feeling let down by this event and your wanting to quit is a fair reaction. You probably should. But I'd recommend making a plan, getting a job somewhere you'll find that emotional support, and then quitting. Also, because the market is kind of weird right now. All the best!

Would recommend looking for companies that are a B Corp. Nick Francis's https://www.helpscout.com/ is one. And otherwise, Natalie Nagele's Wildbit, Claire Lew's KnowYourTeam, and Brendan Schwartz's Wistia work in admirable ways.

Truly sucks. I deactivated my insta and now even to see a public figure's feed, I am getting nudged to log in.

New comment by asthar in "Ask HN: How do you organize your routine?"

asthar — Thu, 26 May 2022 07:09:25 +0000

After 2+ years of WFH, I realised that the thing I most needed in my routine was blocks of time where I'm not with anyone, or doing anything. (I live with my family) Could be opposite for you. But think it helps to create your routine around things that work needs from you plus things that you need from your days.

What I do is make my to-do the night before, wake up and do yoga (in quiet), block non-thinking meetings together and thinking meetings away, use pomodoros for work, have meals with the fam without my devices, and end the day with an hour of solo time, listening to music, reading, writing, and planning for the next day.

Also, in case you haven't, recommend reading "Four Thousand Weeks" and Austin Kleon's work. You got this. :))

New comment by asthar in "Ask HN: Honest thoughts on no-code or low-code solutions?"

asthar — Wed, 25 May 2022 20:32:03 +0000

As a marketer, who is fairly non-tech, think it's not as simple as marketed (the irony). Some tools that help you do very basic stuff like Softr are good for testing a simple MVP, but anything a little advanced would need some dev help even on the no-code tools. Guess useful if you know how to code or need something super simple, otherwise not so much.
