True. I've worked at several companies where OKRs were implemented and I find it valuable. Everyone does them differently. People still have trouble understanding and implementing them.

To address some of the pain points with OKRs I started building my own saas about a year ago https://simpleokr.com


Haven't looked very closely, but how do you think they make money by offering virtual credit cards for free? I bet they will track all your purchases and resell them for marketing later.

Fonts and other stuff from google and facebook is just a small piece of the puzzle.


They detail it on their website, but basically they keep part of the interchange fees for each transaction.


What alternatives do you have in mind? I was thinking the same, but haven't done much research yet. I definitely want to have more control over my passwords.


I'm not sure what your criteria are but I've been using LastPass (Enterprise) with 2FA (Yubikey) for a couple years now. Aside from the Yubikey, the key benefit is I can share a folder with someone using the free version.

It's not cheap but it works and afaik it's secure (esp with the Yubi).


1Password Family accounts have support for free guest accounts that can be used to share information with other people without requiring them to purchase.


Why do we need this again? Who are your competitors? Twitter, Slack?

I see very little value in this tool, all this is going to become is another place to vault all your data behind proprietary protocol.


Hmm, I don't find Twitter or Slack to be our competitors at all. Twitter uses a newsfeed, we don't. We give you an entire page that is completely yours. If anything, we're more like Snapchat stories then Twitter, except with text.

We're more similar to Slack, but one difference is that we have a few contributors broadcasting to a large audience. Slacks is also made up of closed communities, we focus more on housing all of these channels in one place.


It's a Telegram's channel.


Agreed. This is so ridiculous. I saw the link on the front page. Now it's gone. At least it exists in search results.


Not sure what to think of this. Smells like FOMO. I looked at their roadmap and they're planning to support so many different architectures. Adding EVM support seems like adding more complexity to the project just because blockchain.

I think something like this is needed for programming on blockchain, but I'd prefer to see a dedicated project instead.


also, documentation seems to have be an after thought. I want to like Red, but the documentation has been so scattered, unorganized and limited, I felt more slowed than I needed to be.

Will still keep an eye on Red though, hoping it will improve on that level


It's not an afterthought, but it takes a lot of time and work. The project priorities are driven by the people paying for the work, and it hasn't been a priority for them. We hope the new projects will allow us to improve the situation. In the meantime, telling us what docs are most lacking, or most needed, helps.


If you follow Red, you know that avoiding complexity is a primary goal. Each new back end may add some complexity, but it doesn't change the underlying model of how Red is implemented. And I think it will be kind of what you say you want. It is a dedicated project, with the current goal of raising money so a team can focus on that. Think of it as your dedicated project using Red to build the blockchain programming tool. It wouldn't have to be all Red, that's just the best approach in this case.


>I looked at their roadmap and they're planning to support so many different architectures.

Yes, I noticed and was concerned about that too - that they may be taking on too much work. Otherwise I like their goals (apart from this latest news).


Hi! I'm the author of bluebook. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea, and any suggestions or improvements you may have.


Author here! I've been working on this idea for running api/e2e tests. Please check it out and leave any questions/suggestions.


Only small companies can take a public stance and they won't for numerous reasons. No large company will ever take a political stance like this. There's too much at stake. I've been saying this for a long time. US is a capitalist country, it does not matter that it's been built by immigrants.



Uh, I'd hope any large enough company in the USA (who's likely to have affected employees) sent out a similar message. They literally risk having personnel that was away on business travel get stuck outside the USA with nowhere to go.


Plenty of large companies took a stance against NC. While this is a larger stance, you may still see it.


I cannot post that. It is IP and very domain specific code. But it is not that difficult to write an http server in libevent and add librdkafka to it.


No worries, thanks for taking the time to write all this up!
