I'm CTO at a startup here in Brazil. I'd love to chat with you guys about potentially being a beta user of your platform. Let's connect!

hey! Our first customer was acquired through a personal contact and second customer came in as a referral from our first customer :)
We plan to better the product now before going in with full blown marketing/sales.

https://servicehq.ca Built this over about 2-3 months with the help from a Beta customer satisfying their requirements slowly, but still ensuring that the platform is generic and modular enough.
It’s now averaging about $1000/month with 2 customers. I’m now planning to slowly rebuild the mobile app (need to improve UX and add offline functionality). Once ready, I can start selling to more customers, Also thinking of adding a few integrations with tools like Google Drive, Office 365 & Slack to improve market visibility.
Our stack is Ruby/Rails/React/React Native.

I think a city like Barcelona, with their theft and crime problem can make use of some sort of surveillance.
Just two weeks ago, 3 hours before ending my vacation in the city, Me and my wife were robbed off roughly worth $10k USD in a car tire puncture scam.

looks great! I'd definitely be looking forward to use your service as soon you accept applications from non US and Canadian citizens.

Same thoughts here about MobX. I tried my best to like Redux from my early on React days but could never get myself to like it, Mobx on the other hand has been a way more pleasurable and productive experience. I don't know or understand much about the pros and cons around Immutability and FP paradigm of Redux, but I sure can ship my apps faster and quicker using Mobx - which for a small bootstrapped startup like mine could mean the difference between life and death.
After having used Mobx for more than 10 months now, I still have to find areas that I dislike about Mobx.

Doing Ruby/Rails/JS/Nodejs for past 4 years roughly. Things did dried up a bit over the past ~3 months, But I'm sure if I were to do some sales outreach, I'd be able to find work in a couple days. (Good that I have some of my clients on retainer contracts for supporting and maintaining their projects which keeps the bank balance and cashflow stream healthy)
Not too worried about the downtime though, because I always wanted to take a few months off from consulting to build our own product. So, i've been happily utilizing this time to build: https://servicehq.ca
Once we roll out with 3-4 customers, My plan is to do a time split between consulting gigs and my own product.
PS: I'm based in Toronto, Canada.

Is there any research proving that the 8 hour diet actually aids in weight loss? Curious.

May be on a tangent and a shameless plug, but I just posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14042150 this morning.
Underlock is a small Ruby library that helps with Encrypting/Decrypting of files and other data.
