Some feedback, this is just me personally - wanted more of a preview of what I'd actually be getting before signing up - reluctantly signed up after seeing you had a promo code - still don't want give up a credit card just to see what I'd be getting, I got into the dashboard after creating an account but immediately was put into checkout for a trial

Overall too much friction for me to go from landing page to giving up my credit card.

Thank you! Just pushed some website updates demonstrating the product.

I was wondering this too. The price difference is actually $16 not $20. Shopify Lite ($9) + TinyStore ($5). It seems like a pretty narrow niche and easily killed should Shopify address the narrow gap there. I would also wonder if Shopify already has the data to be able to make the judgement call that this narrow price range doesn't have the demand.

They have obviously made the decision that it doesn't make sense for a $134b company to solve this problem. But it probably makes sense for a guy solving his wife's problem to create this solution.

Well the question in the title was how do you manage your logs, so people are answering.

I'm cool with the answers about what people are actually using. But there are also recommendations, and that's what OP asked for at the end.

One should always read beyond the title. The actual request was for advice on what tusharsoni was thinking of doing.

I didn’t get that sense at all. His last bullet point is “The market should overlap with my existing audience”.

I think you're more likely to hit Netlify's limit of 125k requests per month vs the 100hr limit.

You can accomplish with something like TinyLetter (https://tinyletter.com/) or Revue (https://www.getrevue.co). Not sure why he went the slightly more difficult route of using a service like MailChimp. (which also happens to own TinyLetter)

This link is much better at talking about their plans.

I know you work at Brightcove; are you involved with Circle at all? (for the benefit of others, both have same founder) Personally I think all of Circle's initiatives combined are less of a story than the decision to stop trading Bitcoin.

Thanks, we've updated the link from https://support.circle.com/hc/en-us/articles/217972003.

Seems a bit odd to change to a substantially different blog article; bigger strategy is important, but the original article focused more on the decision to stop exchanging Bitcoin, which is bigger IMHO than their other initiatives.

I think its a sad day that we can't attempt to be intellectually curious just because its politically related. This last election has prompted me to start reading more on both sides and has lead me to some other readings such as the constitution, economic theory, history, etc.

It is possible to talk about these topics from an academic perspective and it feels like banning it for a week is equivalent to putting your head in the sand and ignoring it because its too hard to have a conversation about it. This is exactly the behavior I was motivated to try and change in myself (stick to tech only, ignore other issues).

Yes, its very difficult to talk about some politics in thoughtful ways but I would hope a community like HN has the people needed to try and address some of the issues coming up. Be it technical (detecting fake news, biases, etc) or intellectual commentary.

I understand and sympathize with what you've said here. I also know that empirically this is not the case on HN, at least not under the current environment (e.g., community, guidelines, moderation, current events and political situation). Ignoring that puts what HN is and strives to be at risk.

I've also been actively working on engaging constructively in difficult, contentious conversation. HN is one forum. If politics is on area that's generally avoided here for the benefit of quality discussion on other topics, there are other forums where one can. And perhaps after a detox week (or two?), constructive political might work on HN. I certainly hope so, but am also aware of how difficult that can be in person, and even more so online.

What do you mean you're not using their API? If you're screen scraping the content, you're still violating their terms of service.

Curious observer here. Since he's not a Yelp partner or customer or anybody, why does he have to worry about their TOS?

Whether one likes it or not, simply by visiting or looking at a site, you're agreeing to their TOS.

"By accessing or using the Site, you are agreeing to these Terms and concluding a legally binding contract with Yelp Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Francisco, California ("Yelp"). Do not access or use the Site if you are unwilling or unable to be bound by the Terms."

This article helped clear things up for me.

Or... what? It says "Do not access or use the Site..." but what would be the penalty for using a site like this outside of the terms of service?
