• Bear alternatives on PC

  You might check out iA Writer. https://ia.net/ If I didn't have a Mac with access to Bear, that's probably what I'd be using. Source: about 1 year ago

• I didn't realize the community has grown so much..

  Obsidian ai (a forked version of this theme is my main, I haven't released it publicly because the ui is a clone of my favourite app iaWriter https://ia.net/, and I don't think that's ethically right to share). Source: over 1 year ago

• Tools for structuring research notes and productivity/creativity

  Ia.net: looks good to build a personal wiki with hyperlinks (which is something I def want) but I fear this can get messy after a while and can loose overview easily. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to find and remove all finished tasks [x] at once in a single txt document?

  Thanks, it works! Could you share a link to learn more about patterns and how to use them. Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on ia.net. Source: almost 2 years ago

• iA Writer's new site is up—where's the new update?

  I went to ia.net today to see if they had updated to a new site yet, and they had! Source: almost 2 years ago

Either way, it's a win if it helps someone make a purchase decision. - We... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Who's using Ruby web development without Ruby on Rails (RoR)?

  We[0] use Ruby without Rails - Sinatra for the most part. I started the codebase over a decade ago now, and at the time Rails felt a little heavy (inline with your comments). That said, Rails does let you get started pretty quickly without needing much of anything else. Rails has more magic. If you prefer less magic, then Sinatra is the way. https://enchant.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to offer effective free trials

  For our own SaaS[0], we provide a timed trial. But we regularly provide trial extensions because reality of business is that it takes time to get everybody on board and onboarded. Reading this post, I suspect '30 days of use' would result in less 'please extend the trial' emails and would mean less friction during the trial. However, there is a tradeoff: when somebody reaches out for a trial extension, it may be... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What made your business take off that you wish you'd done much earlier?

  In the space we[1] operate, there's no shortage of competitors. Over the years, I've seen that those who can unlock marketing see a lot more success, even with a shittier product. As a developer-turned-founder, a lot of marketing feels sleazy. Was it always this way? So much link-bait, fluffy posts that are really big ads, shallow content just for SEO, upvoting-rings on platforms, etc. There's so few who seem to... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
