“dammit emacs” …
So I’m neither a marketing or sales guy, though I have done a bit of both.
What I’d say is that if you are trying to create a successful business / product … you need to be considering marketing/sales before you actually build anything. The classic tech founder mistake is to build something nobody wants. Or that costs more to produce/support than you can sell it for.
I’ve got a funny story about a dotcom era business I worked for, where an amazing tech team built this product that was miles better than anything our competitors were doing. We spent 18 months getting it all built out etc. And then the business guy came in and ran the numbers and pointed out to us that our return on investment was longer than the replacement cycle of our hardware. Oops …
Mostly I mean the assumption that’s easy and that you can just “do sales and marketing” after the fact. Sales people are too “sales” to work for free. :-)
I see tech people doing this to sales, marketing, and bizdev people sometimes as well. I’ve created this thing, it’s all done I just need someone to sell/market it …
Some of it, yes. Some of it I already do for free.
Money matters, I gotta pay the rent. If I had to, I’d do whatever shit job to get by.
But once the basic scrap for survival and comfort is met, it’s not what motivates me.
Fantasque was my favourite before Recursive. Kinda miss it still …
+1 Recursive!
My experience is that people are often motivated by quite different things.
Money matters to me, but it’s not what motivates me to work. What motivates me to work is how worthwhile the work seems to me and how much I enjoy working with my colleagues. And yeah, that’s tedious, it’d be so much easier if it was all about money, but that’s not the way my brain works.
Wow, that’s amazing!
It’s fast, flexible and the author is super responsive to bugs / feature requests.
Thing like send later. You can do it in a mail client but it requires the client to be running. It you implement it on the server you can guarantee that the email gets send on a specific day/time.
Spark offers collaboration on messages. So for example your team can add comments on an email.
Etc.
Most email clients do not keep a copy of your email on their own servers. It is increasingly common though as it allows them to offer features which are impossible to do otherwise.
I don’t believe there is any need for them to keep a local copy of your mail for push notifications.
If you want to make your NextCloud available to the internet it’s pretty easy (and very reliable) to do so with cloudflare tunnels.
Was going to say the same thing.
I did’t think Revolt was compatible with Matrix and I can’t see anything on the website suggesting that? Link?
Thanks! Will try again …
I converted everything over to Mikrotik earlier this year. Excellent hardware and software and cheap. But has a bit of a learning curve.
Another (mostly) retired Unix sysadmin here. I never could make Python work in my brain, but last year discovered Svelte/SvelteKit and really like it. I’d always kinda hated on JS, but actually it’s pretty nice these days.
