   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

• Need Browse start page / extension manager suggestions.

  I really like how start.me works as it is URL based I can easily make it the default new tab and home page. Source: almost 2 years ago

• App for bookmark managing on Chrome?

  I love start.me (https://about.start.me/) . Source: almost 2 years ago

• Privacy respecting external bookmark managers?

  Is it start.me? If that is the case, I am concerned about their ads. When I go to my bookmarked URL, I notice that Instead of opening the bookmakred URL(e.x reddit.com ), my ADguard DNS server blocks this malicious site: redirect.start.me/xxxidealo.dexx . I know that you can block all these with Ublock but without it, oh no. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you build your personal start page?

  My subscription to http://start.me has been worth every penny I pay for it. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Could we have more than 12 tiles for favorite sites on the new tab?

  I'm using start.me. You can have more bookmarks and you can organize them in different groups. You can also sign in in different devices and use the same layout. Source: over 2 years ago
