Readit NewsGood I hope the whole sale fails
Imagine working hard your whole life that you get to a point that most cannot even dream of getting to and having some schmuck on an online forum who knows nothing other than some headline hoping that you would fail.
It appears the trend is becoming that just by being negative and short on everything is some kind of lazy hack to appear intelligent.

I wouldn't agree that people choose products based on what their friends are using. At least for me it doesn't work.
While the second part is true, I agree.
It's really hard to overcome existing players, on the other hand there are some advantages: existing players are kind of slow in terms of changing (adding new features) and in terms of support.
Among these 170 alternatives, more than half of them were built in 2010 I guess, and they do not evolve.
Regarding paid ads. This year I was watching how other guys do with their side projects and I literally haven't seen anyone who tried paid ads. They did SEO though, but not google ads or something like that. Because they are good at reaching the right audience in the right place, I guess.
Again, how do YOU plan on overcoming the marketing/word of mouth barrier?

if you're looking for a less expensive option - check out Blook.io - we help global founders register their businesses in the US and provide a free EIN/bank account :)
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Can you provide a granular breakdown of why I would pick this vs Stripe atlas?

Hi Peter, thanks for doing this again.
I'm a startup founder from India who'd love to learn more about how to gain access to US capital markets and startup ecosystem. (e.g. Annual VC deal volume in US is typically 25x that of India).
I'd love to know what you think are some practical ways of going about this, any common gotchas etc.:
1. Opening a delaware c corp via stripe atlas, any common mistakes you've seen?
2. For a small bootstrapped business (<$100K ARR), are there any realistic ways for the founder to immigrate to the US? (mainly to access a better ecosystem, community)
3. For setting up a remote team: Say that I keep the tech team in my home country, what's the best way to, for example, set up a sales team in the US? (common use case for B2B SaaS)

Take a look here - https://www.smartsheet.com/free-google-docs-templates-google...
Not very professional to just point the user to a google doc/sheet.
How do you manage collaboration (i.e. allow users to add features but not make any random changes or delete the whole sheet)? Feature upvotes? Do we ask people to raise a number by 1 in the "upvotes" column.
A proper solution should come with a dedicated frontend.
Like a FOSS alternative for canny.io
That is incorrect. The inside and outside of the black hole are causally disconnected. For someone who passes the event horizon the entire future history of the universe plays out above them as the universe warps down into a single beam of light as the black-ness engulfs you.
From the perspective of someone outside, nothing ever "crosses" the event horizon - it just slowly redshifts into darkness and appears to take infinity to "touch" the even horizon.
There is nothing "happening" inside of any black hole right now that has any corresponding time in the outside universe. From our perspective, it happens in the infinitely far future.
