New comment by justinchen in "Why Fitbit Inc. Just Lost a Third of Its Value"

justinchen — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 05:52:50 +0000

Anecdotally, I'm noticing that friends that used to wear the fitbit and apply social pressure (through the fitbit app) to keep wearing it, have stopped. Also noticing a lot more people with smartwatches, including Apple iWatch. Without the social pressure, there doesn't seem to be much lock-in. Mine died and haven't felt the urge to replace it.

We kinda whipped up something for our own purposes (logging any data using google spreadsheets). It's called Sheetstorm and basically you just post data using the API and it'll automatically create a new sheet or append it to an existing one.

It's handy for logging and analyzing arbitrary stats.

It's more of a polling service that gives you a kind of instant focus group. You ask a question, we'll give you the answers.

The problem I have with desktop email clients now is the lack of rapportive and boomerang.

Many entrepreneurs use our PickFu service to split test taglines as they iterate on variations.

Nice service and API (plus love that you're bootstrapped). Any chance you'll be doing DVD burning in the future?

Just a point of feedback: I was scanning up and down the page looking for a full-size screenshot or tour before I randomly hovered over the thumbnails and saw that they're clickable. Looks cool though. Would this function as light weight customer service tool, i.e. replacing ZenDesk or Desk.com?

Great looking service and easy to use. Do you monetize just with the ads?

I use news:yc too and I miss the collapsed comments. It was way easier to skip over irrelevant discussion threads when you can browse just top level comments.

The more public you are with your business, the better you need to execute to maintain your advantage.
