I really love Hell.js and Mess.css

So on point.

Con: Apple has the final say for your app being released.

Can you expand on the APIs that broke for you?

We tried using Intercom as a “all in one” tool for support, leads, CRM, and it just wasn’t good enough.

We ended up getting Pipedrive for the CRM. Then we hooked up the new Pipedrive integration which is one click to generate a new user, and deal after they show interest with our bot or with us.

For support, we love it and so do our customers. I know there are a lot of chat solutions but it feels the best to me. The bonus is it is integrated with our Help Center (also Intercom) so it is very easy to send embedded articles right in the chat. Our customers love this :)

We are a small team and we were able to reduce the amount of support phone calls (they wanted a phone call to ask the simplist things) by answering quickly on live chat. This allowed us to be able to serve multiple customers at once in a async fashion.

I wonder if Uber/Lyft has seen a jump in driver sign ups since the shutdown. Not sure how fast their onboarding is...but probably faster than trying to find a new job / temp job?

10 day trials are rare, what made you choose 10 days?

Looks cool, will check it out.

We launched a crime based RPG game on iOS back in the day that had a leaderboard which tracked in game net worth (cash, investments, etc).

I still remember the day we woke up to multiple emails and lawsuit threats from our top player whose net worth suddenly went negative on the leaderboard.

Our players were very competitive and loved pushing the boundaries by trying to find vulnerabilities, shortcuts, etc so we assumed the worst and thought we had a bug in our system! Turned out to be our JSON parsing library was using integerValue on our NSNumber instances causing the ints to overflow. It was a tough week waiting for Apple to review the app while our players lost faith in us.

Lesson learned :)

(Luckily the player and our community was understanding and stay around)

Cool project!

How was your experience ejecting Expo? Are hot updates fully disabled once you eject? (i.e. each update is submitted via AppStore.)

I had an encounter with one of their drivers tailgating me for ~1 mile until they finally sped past me and cut me off. I was going above the speed limit. Not sure if there were customers in the car, but I would hope not.

They were acquired by Ford. Doesn’t seem like a failure...even if shitting down after 2 years.

I don’t think they were expecting the traffic boost. Videos don’t play for me making it hard to visualize. Anyone else?

Worth noting they will continue processing payments through iTunes for customers who did their subscription through iTunes. Apple will not just go to $0 from Netflix overnight.
