beatrixapp.com is the company blog at beatrixapp.com, writing about startups and business. Since 2013, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 21 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
The only comment is a bare suggestion to check out the site, offered as a pointer in a FreshPost.io thread about social media marketing. Nothing in the comments describes the site's content.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
http://beatrixapp.com Solo, self funded and profitable. I work on it while traveling around Asia. Agree with patio11 there's probably way more than would speak up here. I seldom contribute to HN or the bootstrapping forums mentioned in another reply. I browse a little, but 99% of my time spent in front of the computer is spent working on product or replying to customer emails. How I got started: I've built SaaS apps…

HN discussionFor a long time I went back and forth on whether I should do a freemium plan for my SaaS startup[1]. It was a difficult decision considering many of my competitors are freemium and I see they enjoy certain benefits from that e.g. a large userbase of fans that help them to market the product indirectly. I finally decided against it based on: 1) Free users would increase support costs / required resources, possibly to…

HN discussionI think there's definitely an optimal medium between: 1) Fully automated (Bad) 2) Fully manually managed (Time consuming) That's what we believe at http://beatrixapp.com and we designed our workflow with human participation in mind. In other words our job is to show you great ideas for content - which you then approve or tweak. And not just "auto posting" things endlessly. We did start off with an "autopilot" featur…

HN discussionDisclosure: I'm the founder of Beatrix Seems eerily similar to http://beatrixapp.com - even down to the categories on offer. Beatrix categories: http://beatrixapp.com/use-cases I notice that this requires credit card payment to start a free trial - is this an MVP or is it an actual functioning app? Either way, good to see more folks interested in this space. Buffer have been slowly moving more into content creation…

HN discussionI'd be very curious to know who actually is the end-user of patio11's software. Is it really the business owner? Or is it the salon/dentist receptionist. Because if it's the latter, then nobody lost their job - he just enabled that person to do their job better. The reason I ask is because I started my startup http://beatrixapp.com thinking the same thing - that the end-user would be the business owner. It turns out…

HN discussionGonna throw http://beatrixapp.com into the ring :) * better UI than Hootsuite and it helps suggest more types of content such as images, texts etc. But if you don't think Hootsuite is worth $10 a month, then you probably won't think Beatrix is worth $20 a month. I think the target market for these tools is more like people who need to use them for their jobs. Where $20 to $100 a month doesn't matter as long as it's…

HN discussionHi all, it's been a year since I launched Beatrix 1.0 and we just pushed a major new update! Full details here: https://beatrixapp.com/blog/say-hello-to-beatrix-2.html It's been a long slog, competing against great products like Buffer and Hootsuite, but we are determined to come out the other side :) This year we will most likely be diversifying from pure social media, too. Beatrix 2.0 is the foundation for that. L…
