Bx - Slick invoicing, expenses, time tracking & projects
Hi HN! After a few months of developing a product on the side, I've decided to post it to HN. I'll be honest, I am a bit nervous about it as I know how discerning the audience here can be, but I guess constructive criticism can't be a bad thing! My project is a progressive web app called Bx (pronounced "Books"). It's a tool to help you run your business and includes: > Invoicing and payments (via stripe) > Expenses > Time tracking > Project management > Inventory management > Slick, interactive dashboards It's nothing new or radical, but many of the existing tools I tried in my own business…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN! After a few months of developing a product on the side, I've decided to post it to HN. I'll be honest, I am a bit nervous about it as I know how discerning the audience here can be, but I guess constructive criticism can't be a bad thing! My project is a progressive web app called Bx (pronounced "Books"). It's a tool to help you run your business and includes: > Invoicing and payments (via stripe) > Expenses > Time tracking > Project management > Inventory management > Slick, interactive dashboards It's nothing new or radical, but many of the existing tools I tried in my own business felt clunky, slow and dated, so I decided to build something more efficient, using my own business as a guinea pig. I wanted to build the app as a progressive web app (PWA) that provides a rich native-like experience on any device. I also wanted it to be somewhat functional, even when offline. I think I've achieved both to some extent, and now have a single, clean(ish!) code-base that works well in any modern browser, on pretty much any device. Here's the link: https://usebx.com Please try it out and let me know what you think! Thanks very much :) V

https://semgrep.dev/products/semgrep-app Hi! I work on Semgrep, an open-source project (discussed on HN previously [0][1)]. We’re one of those companies that maintain an OSS tool and a web app, and then monetize by selling enterprise features on said web app. Our free web app just went through a major revamp (sort of like a v1.0 release) so this feels like the perfect time to share and hear what the HN crowd thinks! Let me start with some backstory on Semgrep. Our team, r2c, has been experimenting with various ways to help organizations step up their application security…

Hi HN, 8 months ago, I posted “Ask HN: I built it nobody came, what now?” and got a ton of (not very optimistic) feedback [1]. I took away 3 things: 1. The message wasn’t properly targeted 2. The onboarding experience was terrible. 3. Someone posted some advice to find leads which actually worked, yeah! So here we are. 8 months later. I unfortunately didn’t have a lot of time to put in the tool itself. But I improved the website, improved the onboarding, and got a paying customer who seems to really like the software. So here it is in its current form. Let me know what you think would make…

- FOFinally opening signup on my education for business startup, Learndot2013 · ▲55
HN, I've been mostly lurking, semi-active on HN for over 4 years. For most of that time, I've been working on my startup, Learndot. I have always wanted to do a "Show HN" post, but I never thought it was ready. We've now finally launched web signup and using a freemium business model. I feel I can now post and offer something to the community (a new app to try out) and hopefully get good quality feedback. Here's the site: http://www.learndot.com Would appreciate any or all thoughts: From pricing/positioning, to design/performance. The app is written in Sproutcore and backed by an API written…
- KTKeep track of earning expenses better than excel sheets2011 · ▲33
I started to track my expenses on excel sheets earlier this year. It was interesting to see how much I spent casually on just another hangout with friends or on education. Excel sheets are painful, at least for me. So I built this with my friend: (it's just MVP) http://accountant.besperk.com Edit: Coming up next: > Mobile site and apps asap. > Graphs and reports > SSL > Custom Alerts (when you cross a certain limit, that you define, for certain tag) > Pre populated tags. Tech used: > Rails > on Heroku My co-founder is offline will ask him to add more details on…
