Haha. Nice strong history lesson but sadly out of date. (Say someone using email for 40+ years).

Email is dead. Its been taken over by spammers and AI slop.

We're walking back into a world of walled gardens. Contact is not via IM or email but only via trusted, secured networks.

My old PCs now run AI Agents telling all the crap emailers to use the contact form on our site. Life is too short for crap emails.

Looks great. How long until it does P2P via Bluetooth?

Like Bump did before it was shut down by Google.

We switched to Pumble years ago for price, longer data retention & more consistency.

Starting a business selling software is actually a big job. Even giving code away with OpenSource licensing brings liability risks.

You'll need to find a business model that pays enough to keep your product going.

Maybe you need a suite of micro tools, sold as a single package, that can earn enough to pay for the business costs.

Peter, I'm curious as to the easiest way for Australian founders to get a long stay visa and work permit for the US while working for their own (Delaware) company?

You're right. Most accountants make their money from local businesses. And global accounting firms charge the earth. It's easier to separate You're bookkeeping from your (expensive) accountants who are better set for strategic advice.

What a big question. With so many new sales taxes hitting rhe world its now a nightmare for us global companies, especially in the digital services and the travel industry.

We employ our own bookkeepers (in Africa) who operate a range of accounting systems for each company in the group (5 countries).

As CEO I tend to do the teaching and review but the team does the lodgement. (I am an Australian Chartered Accountant and former tax agent so get the rules fairly easily).

Most lodgements are online. The US is the exception. We also find there are free services for lodging electronically.

A lot of the accounting systems are way overpriced so we don't use many of their up market solutions.

We have built our own invoicing and Billing system this week with AI so expect we'll create more of our own apps over the coming year.

My bookkeeping team has some spare capacity so let me know if we can maybe help you out.

I'm so impressed with the concept of this agent but sorry, I can't have you accessing all my corporate data and systems because I access them via browser.

Perhaps you could create both a Public and Corporate version of the extension, like Copilot does. The Corporate version could have access to all browser data but not share it beyond the bounds of the company.
