FirstDistro – I lost a $5k/mo customer overnight
I had a sweet deal $5k/mo customer. Their usage had been dropping for weeks, but I was busy building features to notice. Got the cancellation email on a Tuesday morning. That's a $60k/year in revenue I could have saved with a 10-minute phone call, if I'd known they were struggling. So I built https://firstdistro.com . It watches your customers' health (usage, engagement, activity) and alerts you when someone's at risk. One script tag. Health score in minutes. Alerts to Slack, email or Attio crm. Happy to answer questions about churn prediction, customer health scoring, or…

- MAMe and my buddy made $20 with a Stripe link and a Tweet2023 · ▲7
Hi there, So a buddy a couple of days ago came up with the idea for a new SaaS product regarding gpt and image generation. We did a quick MVP that barely works, it breaks almost 50% of the time but we still wanted to validate the idea before going all in. We have almost 1k followers on Twitter together. Did a quick post describing the idea with a stripe link in the comments with a 5$ value, no landing page, and no shipped product. In exchange, the buyers become beta users. Around 30 mins later we got our first sale next 30 mins another 5$ and so on. Do we consider the idea validated? The…
- TTTalking to your customers made easy.2010 · gaingeek.com · ▲24
Dear Hackers and founders, I am working on a startup which aims to make customer development easier, faster and perhaps lazier. We all know how important it is to talk to customers, GainGeek (http://gaingeek.com) makes this process easier. My hope is that this app will resonate with all those following Eric Ries's Lean startup and Steve Blank's customer development strategy. I thought it would be a great idea to submit my idea to the eyes of the most critical crowd I know. Please let me know what you think. Cheers, Edo. PS: Some will note that this app could be intrusive. My bet is that the…
- ILIntelligent leads for hackers and startups2012 · leadmachine.io · ▲20
Hey Guys, We created Leadmachine after a HUGE pivot on ignite100(UK incubator). We could see the pain of all the other startups wasting money and buying poor leads while struggling to find those early customers. Wouldn't it be cool to have contact details for all websites using Olark or Google analytics while turning over £100,000 in the UK? We can do that with Leadmachine. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have or listen to feedback!

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
