  Hey @FedEx @fedexhelp - you've got the wrong address on a dropbox in alexandria, and I keep getting your angry customers and packages. Happy to work together to fix it? I can DM details.

  @PhilipLeworthy The Android app is going to unfortunately remain on CalDAV + Dropbox sync for now. I'll be updating it to fix a few issues as well as Tablet related compatibility issues but not major features planned. It remains functional the way it is albeit with a few limitations.

  you pay google, dropbox, and apple $10+/month to store your files on their servers, where they can read them. and dropbox already got breached in 2024. there's a tool that syncs your files directly between your own devices. no cloud, no server, no middleman. it's called syncthing. → real-time sync between any number of devices, peer-to-peer → files go straight between your devices, never touching a third-party server → tls encryption with perfect forward secrecy on every connection → works over lan and internet, no port forwarding needed → file versioning, roll back anything you changed or deleted there is no syncthing server. no syncthing cloud. no company storing your data. the protocol is open, and there's nothing between your devices except an encrypted tunnel. dropbox plus is $144/year. google one 2tb is $120/year. syncthing is $0, unlimited devices, unlimited storage, forever. battle-tested since 2013. run by a swedish non-profit. 100% free. open source.

  That old laptop gathering dust in your closet can replace every cloud subscription you pay for. ​• Netflix • Google Photos • Dropbox • 1Password ​That’s over $500 a year to rent things you used to own. ​Enter CasaOS—a free, open-source system that turns any old laptop or mini PC into your own personal server. ​No Linux skills. No code. No weekend-long tutorials. ​You run one command. In 30 minutes, you get an iOS-like dashboard where you can install self-hosted apps in one click: 1/ ​Jellyfin → Replaces Netflix 2/ Immich → Replaces Google Photos (with facial recognition) 3/ Nextcloud → Replaces Dropbox 4/ Vaultwarden → Replaces 1Password 5/ AdGuard Home → Blocks ads on your entire Wi-Fi network ​Setting up a home server used to be a nightmare. CasaOS makes it feel like installing apps on an iPad. ​The laptop you forgot about is more powerful than the servers that ran most websites in 2008. It costs $0, it’s already in your house, and it puts $500/year back in your pocket. ​Your closet is your new data center.

  Most founders confuse awareness with demand. Awareness = people have seen you. Demand = people understand why they need you now. For innovative products, demand doesn’t already exist at scale. You have to create it. Here’s the step process to create demand: 1. Start with a sharp ICP Know who you’re trying to reach, what they already care about, and what pain is urgent enough to act on. 2. Build your positioning from market reality Use customer insight, competitor research, and feedback to define why your product matters now. 3. Reframe the problem Don’t just describe your feature. Teach people to see the problem differently. 4. Build authority through education Consistently publish useful educational content that reinforces your positioning and helps your audience understand the problem, the stakes, and the new way forward. 5. Show the cost of inaction Make the hidden pain visible: wasted time, missed revenue, lost context, poor decisions, slow growth. 6. Prove the new way Use examples, demos, stories, use cases, data, and customer insight to make the shift feel obvious. 7. Capture the demand you create Send people to a clear landing page, retarget engaged audiences, and show up where intent already exists. 8. Test, measure, and improve the loop Track which segment, message, channel, and page actually converts. Then double down. Example: Zapier Most people already knew Gmail, Dropbox, and Basecamp. Almost no one was looking for an "app automation platform." That's missing demand. Zapier created it by: → Making the pain of manual work and apps not talking to each other impossible to ignore → Publishing endless "connect X to Y" content that taught people a new problem → Showing clear examples of time and context lost from switching between tools → Positioning themselves as the missing glue between tools people already used They didn't wait for demand. They built it through education and problem reframing. Don't just get seen. Make the market understand why they need you now.

  An ops manager pushed back on adding a new tool: "We've got stuff on ShareDrive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Slack... you spend more time trying to figure out apps than actually doing work." He's not wrong to be skeptical. Every one of those tools was supposed to fix something. Tool skepticism is almost never about the new tool. It's about the last five. Tools may treat your symptoms but rarely solve the actual problem.

  @thekevinjon The only problem is getting zezwolenia na pracę. I was going to interview with Dropbox last week and turns out they are happy to interview me and submit my case to Mazowiecki Urząd Wojewódzki. ... and then wait for 8 months until my case is approved, and I can actually start working. That's a huge deal-breaker for a lot of engineers like myself who are less than 5 years into staying in Poland. I'm on JDG for example. I came by PBH visa back in 2023 legally, and I've been successful since. I earned quite a bit of money and spent it all in Poland, 12% tax + $500 ZUS monthly. But the moment I want to join bigtech and earn even more money for Poland (Dropbox have 300-400k+ PLN base salary for Senior SWE), I'm just denied. Please, please... let the Dobby be free...

  SETTING #1: Startup Apps Nobody Asked For What it does: Every time you install a new program, it quietly adds itself to a list of apps that launch the second Windows boots, whether you use it daily or once a year. Why it kills performance: Your laptop isn't just starting Windows when you power it on. It's simultaneously launching Spotify, Steam, Adobe updaters, Dropbox, Zoom, and a dozen other programs all fighting for the same limited CPU and RAM at once. How to fix it: Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager → Startup apps tab. Disable everything except your antivirus and anything you genuinely open every single day. The technician found 19 apps launching automatically on her laptop. She recognized maybe 6 of them.

  @butshaunn A lot of VCs get very excited about one thing, like a groundbreaking new company that has massive traction. They spend the next six months looking for the next best thing, which in their mind looks a lot like the last thing that went crazy. This is how you get silly comments like "can you replicate an exchange server into Dropbox?" Dropbox was the last thing that went crazy. And so now everything needs to get replicated into it.
