This is absolutely killing me (https://quailhq.com) -- I've got hundreds of antique stores trying to get us on the phone, all wanting to know why their card readers have suddenly stopped working. It's going to be a long, long day. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Two of these (plus another, Price Parrot, that I forgot to include: https://sandpiperhq.com/pricing !), are spin-outs of a side-project (https://quailhq.com) that I started in 2014and that I've been working on for 7 years -- and that became my full-time job in 2021. That one definitely isn't a failure! The five (six including Price Parrot) are just the failures from this year. I try to live by "fail fast"! - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I offer phone support for a niche accounting app (https://quailhq.com), and everything in this article rings 112% true to me -- but especially this: > ...all sorts of people call you, and I’ve really learned a lot by talking with users directly on the phone.

I don't control what Songlink supports, but they do show a Bandcamp icon in one of the screenshots on their website: https://song.link. Source: about 1 year ago

I commonly share songs from Apple Music with my friends, but not everyone uses Apple Music, so they have to manually look it up on, for example, on Spotify. In the latest update of my Velja app, which is a browser picker, I added a bonus feature where it automatically converts opened and copied music links (Apple Music, Spotify, etc) to https://song.link. This means the receiver can easily choose what music... Source: about 1 year ago

The quality is actually not that bad. The script doesnt directly search for a given song on YouTube. It uses song.link API to get a clean version of the song. Source: about 3 years ago
