- we use a single server and the domain name determines which white label we are on.
- we use LESS and everything is variable. We load a single compiled CSS based on the domain.
- we never hard code anything, unless we know it's a single page for a single domain (everything is internationalized).
- the database contains everything and we filter out stuff a particular white label doesn't want.
This is because the website displays content (it's not a service like shopify) and most white labels want most of our editorial content, so syncing DBs is not an option (is it?). We have 40+ white labels and unless the customization is heavy we can create a new one in a matter of minutes.
My plan would be: accept what they have if good enough, keep my startup, ask for equity in a while.
Sometimes I have stuff to say, but I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of the day coming back to HN and hope for acknowledgment and responses. This could be selfish, I know, especially when I really know something about a topic, but I can't help it.
The level of Facebook addiction in this country is really scary. I see fellow engineers constantly on Facebook during free time, instead of actually building something.
Sad, really.
