    SOURCING 
    Yes, everything i do is b2b, more logical sales process and audience is already used to the concept of investing in tools.

    Recommended platform to hire AWS cognito integrator/developer?

    SOURCING 
    I use cognito for all apps on AWS. If you're hosting on AWS then your requests are going through API gateway which is tightly integrated with cognito and is the benefit of using that framework. It will give you auth, automatically handle 401 if no token passed, handle password reset, etc. There...

    Will people pay to learn things they could otherwise learn for free?

    IDEA QUESTION 
    I usually look for products that are paid, including with learning. "Free" usually means I'm just paying with more time or more irritation (ie ad supported) and is often a red flag for me that what's on offer isn't that valuable. I do appreciate free trials though. For paid learning...

    I would like some advice on inventory management

    FEEDBACK 
    Look up OMS or order management system. They will do this automatically, handle purchase orders, etc. one such example is Cin7. Many people also use QBO (quickbooks online) as that's the standard for accounting. It definitely supports FIFO costing however I find it's inventory management is...

    AI + CODE = SOFTWARE?

    IDEA SAAS / APPS QUESTION 
    The red flag I see isn't control but rather entry. Your original post is says 'I want to create a webpage where I offer no actual original value or IP, i just pass queries into chat gpt". Why do you think this would be successful? You have no USP.

    I think I'm not that guy anymore - Took me YEARS - FTE and execution

    FTE EXECUTION 
    Some feedback on these 1 - i wouldn't worry too much about db architecture scalability prior to MVP. There are lots of ways to scale dbs. A single sql db instance will scale to quite a few customers provided you construct your tables well. This is of course not knowing your specific use case...

    FTE EXECUTION 
    Good on you for taking something from idea to reality. Even if it doesn't work out financially for this project, this will pay dividends from the experience and confidence you gained. Good luck.

    I'm thinking about starting a porn business but would it be morally ok, and is the competition to high?

    IDEA LANDFILL 
    If you have to ask if something is morally ok then you already know it isn't based on your own values, the knot in your stomach tells you that, seeking approval from others is just looking to rationalize it because it avoids the harder choice.

    Koala Inspector -> The Plugin Needed For All Product Entrepreneurs.

    SAAS / APPS 
    I'd be highly skeptical of the accuracy of 1,2,3. How would a third party plugin know this data about a store. Specifically sale data seems suspect. If you want to see best sellers you can just sort by best sellers on a website. Traffic stats are notoriously inaccurate even for the biggest...

    What's your HEALTHCON Status?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Test things for a month and see how you feel, keep what works, adapt the rest. After spending a long time listening to "experts" and finding the same conflicting information you mentioned I concluded to focus more on clarifying my goals related to fitness/wellness/longevity and experimenting...

    My Web Design Progress Thread (Fox Web School)

    WEB DESIGN 
    Just a quick note to others reading this. OP obviously found out that people do not value FREE. So while someone may take the time to contact about a free posting, they have no skin in the game and so they likely aren't very responsive, etc. They probably also discount the value you are...

    Back pain after a "good" night’s sleep.

    HOT! HEALTH 
    How hard are your workouts? Thats a lot of volume if its fairly intense weight training. You may be overtraining which coukd cause back pain and poor sleep.

    What is the best way to hire a (good) software developer?

    SOURCING SAAS / APPS 
    Jon gave good answers but i think i can be more to the point. Based on your answers you need help to pull this off. Get a technical cofounder, someone you know and trust who knows their stuff. They handle the tech oversight. You also need more money. Building mvp is just step 1. Focus on...

    What I learned spending $40k and one year launching my app.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Development is a skilled business. Most people that get burned go into the mindset i want something cheap, fast and feature rich. That simply doesn't exist. Pick two out of three. For v1 you should be trimming scope. Seems everyone with 0 development experience wants to hire the cheapest...

    Best Resources For Coding?

    QUESTION 
    Languages are suited for different purposes. Someone mentioned c which is a good choice if you are building embedded applications or something where performance is paramount (like games/graphics). C would be a poor choice for a web based application (and I would argue most other applications)...
