Healthcare takes place between doctor visits. And, Bellabeat seems like a great way to give pregnant women the data and feedback that they want between visits. I suspect that expecting moms will eat this up. Very cool!
Inside the Nike+ FuelBand is a triaxial accelerometer based pedometer. I can get my head around that. But, how do you track a baby's kick count?
Hi Trey, thanks for your question. Baby kickcounting is a simple way of tracking your baby's vitality and an important sign of its wellbeing. Doctors recommend to pregnant women to regularly check the fetal movement from the 28th week on and give them a simple spread sheet to write down the time it took for them to count 10 movement. We make this process way easier through the Kick Counter feature in our app. That means that women can relax while counting and just press the Kick Button each time they feal their baby move. The Kick Counting is set on timer and the app analyzes the data and creates a chart which accurately depicts the pattern of the baby's movement, giving an important insight of it's vitality.
Most of our early customers are ~5-100 employee companies. Right now most of our customers are other startups because that's who we know, but we're excited to expand to other organizations.
We're gradually adding features for larger organizations — we just introduced a 'groups' feature for splitting organizations into teams, and we're building out our bookkeeping sync (Quickbooks, Xero).
We're also working on the ability to pull in your card charges. For personal cards you'll be able to promote an expense as 'reimbursable'. For corporate cards all expenses will get automatically pulled in as 'non reimbursable' (because the company already pays the card bill).
Thanks Trey. Our goal is to get to 15 minutes of translation time. That would make it usable for email and customer service messages. Right now it depends on when our users are awake and which language pair. Faster time has been a few minutes, average is around an hour.
Nice work Cambly! The app is very simple and well designed. Plus, I love your logo.
Immersion is clearly the way to go when learning a new language. I learned more French trying to haggle with the waiter for more ice in Biarritz, than I ever did in Madame Lefebvre’s class.
I like that Cambly pairs me with a friendly native speaker rather than a professional teacher. And, I’m a big fan of the on-demand marketplace idea.
Questions for Cambly:
1) Users are required to download a separate app for each language. As you add more languages a user may be learning French and Spanish simultaneously. Are there plans to merge everything into one app so that I can toggle between two different languages?
2) Do you find that users are selecting tutors based on attractiveness?
AnyPerk.com is a great platform for providing employee perks and discounts. It works for companies of all sizes. We implemented AnyPerk at my last company when we were 52 people. And, we are implementing it at my new company that has less than 10 employees. Size doesn't matter. Great service. Highly recommend.
This is a great tool! In a past life we needed a web scraper to pull single game ticket prices from NBA, MLB, and NHL team pages (e.g. http://www.nba.com/warriors/tickets/single). We needed the data. But, when you factor in dynamic pricing and frequent page changes you are left with a real headache. I wish Kimono was around when we were working on that project.
I love how you can actually use their "web scraper for anyone" on the blog post. Very cool!
Streak is great! We were looking for a lightweight CRM that our team would actually use. Streak does everything we need it to and it does not require our team to dramatically change their work flow.
Everything is right inside Gmail and so for us, at this stage, Streak is perfect. Plus, tracking feature is cool. Easy way to see if an email has been read.
Rapportive (https://rapportive.com) is really what makes our direct sales possible. And, Streak plays nice with Rapportive.
This is a great way to make your native mobile interface completely dynamic. Sure makes mobile A/B testing a whole lot easier. ‘No app store approvals’ is huge. This is cool. I'm a fan!
