Another hour, another 7 volunteers to beta test Feature Upvote's new stuff. I'm at 14 out of a goal of 100. You can help too! You don't need any experience with Feature Upvote. It will be painless and quick. Sign up here: https://forms.reform.app/rcWgjM/fuv-conf-beta/b4c741 …

BTW you don’t have to be an existing user or customer of Feature Upvote. Anyone can take part, and it really is a painless experience. In fact, one of the things to be tested is to make sure things are as painless as we intended.

Another hour, another 2 people signed up to help test some new stuff we’ve added to Feature Upvote. I’m now at 7, with a target of 100. You can help out!

I'm looking for 100 people to take part in a simple beta test of some new stuff in Feature Upvote. So far, 5 have signed up... There's a loooong way to go! Sign up here: https://forms.reform.app/rcWgjM/fuv-conf-beta/b4c741 …https://twitter.com/steveofmcleod/status/1421050642135719939 …

I'm looking for beta testers for Feature Upvote. It will take a few minutes of your time. We added a new sign-in and voting mode, to be used at an upcoming conference. I want to solidly test these changes with 100+ people. Want to help? Sign up at https://forms.reform.app/rcWgjM/fuv-conf-beta/b4c741 …

My wish: that a massive corp with lots of resources cleans up this mess with a, say, twice annual official release of a whole ecosystem of JS tools - and works really hard on a safe upgrade path and backwards compatibility. Like MS does with .net or Oracle with Java.

The npm infrastructure is a like a virus that infects projects via various channels, and gives us all this problem. Not saying npm is all bad, but this aspect of it is a serious issue in our industry.https://twitter.com/jhooks/status/1420809198657413121 …

A potential customer for my SaaS is requesting proof of several types of insurance, including "Automobile insurance". I wonder how and why they ever added that requirement? And I wonder if ANYBODY ever agrees to it! We certainly aren't.

Four people/families here in Barcelona that my family has frequent contact, all unconnected directly to each other, with have got covid in the last couple of weeks. Some have been vaccinated. This feels high. Our turn seems almost inevitable.

Here's a product that does fundamentally the same as Feature Upvote, but targets a hyper-narrow niche. https://www.getvetter.com/  IMO this type of laser focus on a specific use case is a smart way to have success in a crowded field.

Also, a HUUUUGE benefit for me when I changed from running a B2C desktop app to a B2B SaaS. B2C: My weekend was emails like this most weekends. B2B: Hardly ever happens. I got my weekends back.

A benefit of significantly raising your prices - or hiding your cheapest pricing tier: You get less of this happening.https://twitter.com/petersuhm/status/1419330829881384967 …

Looking forward to this one - an author I enjoy reading appears on a show I enjoy listening to.https://twitter.com/RobGMacfarlane/status/1419208583049367553 …

I gave up long ago battling with designers, asking them to make links look as linky as possible. Eg blue and underlined. A battle I was always destined to lose.https://twitter.com/ericwbailey/status/1418633390169939975 …
