  @jbarro Especially because "you have to mail it in a week before the election or else drop it at an election site dropbox after that date" is a totally reasonable compromise done all over the US and world which would immediately fix the problem.

  @Dropbox I'm having trouble regaining access to my Dropbox account. I have access to the registered email. I request a password change, you send the password, I log in with the password, then you say you'll send an SMS to my cell phone, but that SMS never arrives.

  @MikeJShowalter The issue is the use of the data to train models not retention. Acting as if this is the same a Dropbox is disingenuous. They will not use the data to train for non-safety issues. Non-safety issue is doing some heavy lifting there. Do they have an outline of what this means?

  Don’t pay for Notion, use Obsidian Don’t pay for Slack, use Discord Don’t pay for Zoom, use Google Meet Don’t pay for Jira, use Linear Don’t pay for Salesforce, use HubSpot CRM Don’t pay for QuickBooks, use Wave Don’t pay for DocuSign, use Dropbox Sign Don’t pay for Calendly, use Cal Don’t pay for Intercom, use Crisp Don’t pay for Webflow, use Carrd Don’t pay for Airtable, use NocoDB Don’t pay for 1Password, use Bitwarden Most startups don’t have a revenue problem. They have a software subscription problem. You don’t need a $30k tech stack to build a great company. You just need smarter tools. That’s an easy $15,000+/year saved.

  Day 4 building Verytis in public. I've been pushing hard to find first beta testers. Reddit 1,200+ views, real conversations, zero installs. X engagement, validation, zero installs. Direct DMs sent, read, zero responses. Everyone describes the problem in their own words. Nobody takes the step to test. So today I changed approach. I just submitted to Hacker News the community that broke Dropbox open in 2007. If the problem is real and the solution makes sense, this is where I'll find out. Watching the thread now.

  Drew Houston got rejected by every major VC in Silicon Valley before Dropbox became worth $10B. His story shows why persistence beats perfection. 2007: Houston demos file syncing to VCs. The response was brutal: → "This already exists" → "Google will just build this" → "Not a big enough market" One VC told him: "Why would anyone pay for storage when it's getting cheaper every day?" Houston's mistake: He was pitching technology, not the problem it solved. The pivot moment came when he made a simple 4-minute demo video showing Dropbox in action. No technical jargon. Just: drag file here, access it anywhere. The video hit the front page of Digg. 75,000 signups overnight. Suddenly VCs were calling him. Sequoia led his Series A. The same firm that initially passed. The lesson: VCs don't invest in features — they invest in problems worth solving. Houston learned to sell the pain point (lost files, USB drives, email attachments) before selling the solution. Today Dropbox has 700M+ users and went public at a $9B valuation. The rejections weren't about the product. They were about the pitch. What's the biggest lesson you've learned from getting rejected?

  Open your bank statement right now. Count every subscription. Netflix. Spotify. ChatGPT Plus. Claude. Adobe. Apple One. Disney+. iCloud. YouTube Premium. Audible. NYT. Dropbox. Notion. Gym. Dating app. A 2026 study found the average American spends $219 a month on subscriptions. That is $2,628 a year. But they estimate they spend $86 a month. 74% of people admit they have forgotten about a recurring charge. 42% are currently paying for a subscription they have stopped using. A Portuguese developer named Miguel Ribeiro got tired of bleeding money to forgotten subscriptions. He lives in Berlin and works as a senior frontend engineer at eBay Kleinanzeigen by day. At night he tried Billbot and a bunch of paid web apps. None of them worked. Some of them charged him a monthly fee to track his monthly fees. So in October 2023 he wrote his own. The repo today: → 7,922 stars → 365 forks → GPL-3.0 licensed → Pushed last week → 69 followers on the founder's profile It is called Wallos. You self-host it. It tracks every subscription, every renewal date, every category, every currency, and shows you the actual number on one screen. Here is the wildest part: The subscription companies designed the system this way on purpose. 72% of people set everything to auto-pay because the checkout flow defaults to it. Cancellation pages are buried 5 clicks deep. Some require a phone call during business hours. A 2022 FTC report called this "dark patterns" and Adobe is paying $150 million in a settlement for hiding cancellation fees this exact way. Miguel did not raise venture capital. He did not write a Medium post. He did not go on a podcast. He shipped one PHP app from his apartment in Berlin and now thousands of people use it to claw back hundreds of dollars a year. The honest part: It needs a tiny server (a $5 Raspberry Pi works). You have to enter subscriptions yourself, it does not auto-detect from your bank. The UI is functional, not gorgeous. The author still works a day job and ships updates in his spare time. Berlin. One developer. The companies that auto-charge you forever finally have an enemy.

  We added Asset Manager to Greta. You're building an ecommerce app: product images, demo videos, docs, case studies. Before: Upload images to Cloudinary, videos to S3, docs to Dropbox, links scattered everywhere. One breaks, and you're scrambling through three different services trying to find the original. Now: Upload once in Greta. Reuse assets across all your projects, with everything centralized. No external services. No broken links. No context switching between five different platforms while you're trying to ship. That's smoother. That's what actually building feels like. 50 MB per file. Images auto-compress.

  Omg OneDrive is terrible! Do better @Microsoft ! Trying to download a folder with 1000 files. OD zips, downloads, says complete. I end up with 5% of my files. Never this issue with Google Drive or DropBox.

  terrible rate limits, and errors when your AI of choice hits its head up against their overcomplicated block API. All problems you don't have if you knowledge base is just files! Thats why we've started building Treehouse, its basically Notion + Dropbox combined with loads ...

  StrictMode is a developer tool which detects things you might be doing by accident and brings them to your attention so you can fix them. StrictMode.ThreadPolicy among others can detect: - slow (blocking) operations on UI thread (detectCustomSlowCalls()) - blocking disc reads/writes on UI thread (detectDiskReads()/detectDiskWrites()) - mismatches between defined resource types and getter calls (detectResourceMismatches()) StrictMode.VmPolicy among others can detect: - leaks of Activity subclasses (detectActivityLeaks()) - when an SQLiteCursor or other SQLite object is finalized without having been closed. (detectLeakedSqlLiteObjects()) - when your app is blocked from launching a background activity or a PendingIntent created by your app cannot be launched (detectBlockedBackgroundActivityLaunch()) - when the calling application exposes a file:// Uri to another app (detectFileUriExposure()) - attempts to invoke a method on a Context that is not suited for such operation (detectIncorrectContextUse()) For both of them, we can specify a penalty: - penaltyLog() - Logs detected violations to the system log. - penaltyDeath() - Crashes the whole process on violation. - penaltyDialog() - Shows an annoying dialog to the developer on detected violations, rate-limited to be only a little annoying. - penaltyDropBox() - Enables detected violations log a stacktrace and timing data to the DropBox on policy violation. - penaltyFlashScreen() - Flashes the screen during a violation. - penaltyListener(…) - Set specific listener on violation.
