Its a big company, so the cost of jira is relatively comparable to a team building/maintaining our inhouse thing.

It also gets used for more than just ticket lifecycles. They are doing a lot of data analysis, and project management stuff.

Looking forward to reading more about it. Good luck on the launch :)

What is vectorware's business model? Are you planning to sell support/consulting to companies using your stack? Or are you looking to sell licenses to your tool? Or something else?

This is really cool! It sounds like y'all have a compiler fork that you are using to make this work. I wanna tinker with this, is your compiler available?

The company I work for is in the process of replacing jira with an in home grown solution. They ran through a bunch of trial with pretty much every vendor under the sun looking for a replacement for jira, but none of them really sparked joy. Someone rolled their own a year or so ago, and it started gaining adoption, and people liked it enough that the whole company is switching to it.

I don't think that means saas is dead. There is a strong preference to buy instead of building if there is something worth buying.

From what I have heard a lot of that job market is drying up due to AI / offshoring. I guess it depends on how solid your offers are.

I looked at it more last night. It would be great if you expanded into other forms of manufacturing and related services.

For example, if I am having a complex part machined, I probably need some electronics to drive that things. Having a supplier for electronic parts, circuit board printing, plastic molding for housing those electronics would be needed to finish the job.

Some of the geographic regions like `southwest` don't map to what I consider south west. Louisiana, isn't in the south west :)

Hell yeah! I have been looking for something like this.

On the home page when I search for something like `Southeast` it shows 0 shops, but if I actually select it I get 223. This was confusing and made me unsure of how many relevant hits I would find.

It would be really nice if you could search in smaller geographic areas. State boundaries would be really nice to start. As you continue having city / intra-state regions would also be huge for the cases where you want to go in person to these places.

I know everyone has strong opinions about Elon, but for $10/mo I would absolutely get this. At $50/mo, I don't have enough of a need to get it.

One of the reasons people choose webp is file size. If your images are smaller then you transfer and store fewer bytes. That can have benefits on cost and speed of transferring those to the client.

It isn't. You don't pay "msrp" at scale :)

I think that is because they are being judge by their outcomes.

In the space I was in (ads) users were highly mistrustful of the data. They felt everything was kind of fuzzy (eg how well are you measuring unique users and their actions).

They would end up using multiple vendors (and we would have to spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting results). They really really want "apples to apples" comparisons.

At the end of the day they were trying to answer, does what I am spending my money on give me the results the business needs? To your point there is a lot of nuanced data, but their bosses definitely only cared about the top line, did it move the needle.
