Readit Newswe used them because they guaranteed parts and repair for something like five or ten years. This was the number one reason we purchased hundreds...
No complaints, they were very stable. We tried other cheaper models and they would overheat etc.. ( used on large ships )

>a real gap in the market
Is there a market in the gap though? Often the reason there is a gap is because it isn't a viable market, not because nobody thought of it.

Things are not always what they seem. I’ve started multiple companies that appear to be not viable but once you’ve made something and shown value, all of a sudden everybody wants it.
I mean good gosh just think about Uber, WhatsApp, YouTube - like anyone would ever want that at one time. The world is a big place. Most undervalued lesson early in life.

I was in the same situation(wife, small children, no real savings) about three years ago. Long story short freelance for a high enough rate that you can pay subcontractors to do the work and free you up to work on the side project. Eventually, you can start paying the freelancers as subcontractors to work on your project as well and this is the hardest part and I don’t know any way around it. I happen to know people that were in sales and know the business side of the industry I target. Eventually, one of them said, I’m ready to be entrepreneur and I sold a piece of the pie in exchange for him and his clients. Within the first two months our profits soared. It’s a wild ride and we are just getting started. Build a solid product that customers love and lightning will eventually strike.
Encryption at rest is not supported in the community/free version of MongoDB.
We built an email service (IMAP support added a month ago) and wrote a WebSocket to SQLite layer to solve our encryption at rest needs for storage.
See our deep dive at https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypt... for insight.
Really? How many open source databases do you offer? Some may say it’s not right for randos to complain when you give something away and they complain that it’s missing basics. I just happy someone else wrote most of what I need and I can extend it if needed.

Lived in Austin for most of my life and moved away as soon as I could due to Heat and traffic. It’s not an enjoyable place to live weather wise for most of the year. Basically you feel trapped at home either due to heat or don’t want to deal with traffic which I am sure by now is most the day.

If any of the kids are like the way I was they have two phones, a fake phone for the parents to see and control, and then a real phone I keep to myself

So:
- Have one customer pay you lots of money rather than many customers pay little money
- Target businesses, don't serve end consumers directly
- Find a small niche for yourself rather than try and do too much
While all of it is valid advice, I think taken to the extreme it's basically saying – be an employee, not an entrepreneur.
I understand the article to say start with these things... that does not mean you have to stop there. Build an empire but start small.
