• I started affiliate marketing, but with a twist

  Use chatbots to automate customer service: Chatbots use natural language processing to communicate with customers and answer their questions. By integrating chatbots into your affiliate marketing strategy, you can automate customer service and increase engagement with potential customers. This can lead to more sales and higher commissions.

• How to embed a web application into another website via API?

  I am trying to create an application that will work on a customer's website. Much like tawk.to or intercom.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Here's how I'd figure out the go-to-market for a Customer Support SaaS

  My way of doing marketing starts with figuring out what my overall project will (or will not) be. In this case, I looked at the vendors like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, or Help Scout. They all have whizbang features such as live-chat, collaboration stuffs, automations and workflows. They bill per contact and addons. I’d emphasize a straightforward, fuss-free angle instead.

• Chat widget with react.js

  I wanted to know the best practices of developing a widget. So I went through the popular implementations of it. I liked Intercom's widget very much. It is written in React. I analyzed how it works. The minimal javascript is loaded async on the webpage. It is injecting an iframe with id intercom-frame. That iframe has a script in it's head with a source URl. Obviously it is React bundle. Source: about 2 years ago

• Any alternatives to Life360/FindMy?

  The only private alternatives are going to be self hosted and will require some technical skill. See owntracks for details. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Trying to make a pair of compasses that always point to each other

  On your side, you need some way to be tracked. Easy solution is an app on your phone, I like OwnTracks as a privacy-respecting option. Source: about 1 year ago

• Privacy-focused Vehicle Tracking Tool?

  Sounds like owntracks with a android headunit https://owntracks.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Updating location on Google maps

  OwnTracks is app people can install on their phones that you can setup to send live gps coordinates back to your web server. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best solution for remotely hosting public-facing low-traffic services?

  One container where this would have been an issue for me is OwnTracks recorder. Probably could have got it working on ARM if I wanted to compile the program then create a container around it, but didn't want to spend the time and instead just used the free tier x86_64 VM. Source: over 1 year ago
