This has been an ongoing debate in the mountain bike world for a number of years now. Direct to consumer brands have clearly been making a dent in the traditional retail model. Intense just announced a hybrid model, where shops stock demos and consumers receive their new bike directly from Intense. Seems like a win-win - shops don't have to stock slow moving inventory and consumers get lower prices year round.

If I don't recognize a number, or have a scheduled call, I will almost always let the call go to voicemail. Then I'll decide if the call warrants a call back. Usually it doesn't.

Have you considered Drift as an alternative to Intercom? I have a small SaaS app as well, and my Intercom bill is about $130 a month compared to $50 with Drift.

It fooled me initially, until I saw the pricing. $299 a month for what the simplest of spreadsheets could track.

From what I can tell, yes - at least for businesses that aren't experiencing high growth rates. FE has written an excellent article on the subject:

check out feinternational.com (OP mentioned them as well). I've been subscribed to their "Buyers list" for over a year and I've seen many nice saas businesses listed.

For what it's worth I'm not surprised. I had a very poor experience with them. The actual shipping time was significantly longer than promised (pretty sure their model was to act as a dropshipper), and then I was unable to get a response to return the shoes I no longer needed.

Fully agree. Unbounce and other landing page builders should take note. The simplicity of the experience was impressive.

In coastal regions of the PNW it is not uncommon to see moss and algae growth start within 3 years of a roof being installed. Replacement can be necessary within 10 years if the problem isn't dealt with.

Care to share the details of your startup? Lot's of ER docs involved with sim in my group of friends.

Nicely done - that was my first time experiencing "micro-payments". I'd be happy to pay on 5c per article as opposed to being tied to a subscription.

Not a remote job per se - but my side project which pays me in USD is working out quite well since the Canadian dollar started sliding. The economics of a building small side project have improved dramatically if you can get paid in USD and live in Canada.
