What Hacker News says?
Yes, we (at https://codeable.io ) use Trello for pretty much all internal (async) communications, from Sprints (user stories) to features, to ideas,... No learning curve, exactly the right features. And also there's something I like in Trello that Basecamp (I know comparing apples to oranges, but both can be used for similar purposes) doesn't support: closure. When something is no longer relevant, you archive it and…

HN discussionOne of the major worries that I've had when launching our marketplace was poaching; What if clients (the demand side) decide to hire developers (the supply side) outside of our platform? Of course, we had rules against that in terms of service, but hey, circumventing those is not a big risk. But, luckily for us, the value that we provided to both parties (and still do) outweighed the risk of losing their accounts fo…

HN discussionCodeable ( https://codeable.io ) - REMOTE We're looking for a seasoned Rails developer with extensive knowledge not only on Rails but on building APIs in particular. Our product is an online outsourcing platform for WordPress, called Codeable. It's built from two main components: AngularJS for the frontend (yes, we're building a single page app) and Rails as the API endpoint. With everything we do, we strive for qua…

HN discussionI think that marriage itself is completely irrelevant - it's the relationship that matters; Although we're getting married next year (we joke about sealing the deal , since we both agree it's just a nice-to-have) after 7 years and 4 kids of a relationship. We've had ups and downs which we're all connected to our financial situation. While I was bootstrapping my startup ( https://codeable.io ), things at some point s…

HN discussionWe had exactly the same frustrations with online outsourcing (being on both sides of the table), and now we have built https://codeable.io (focused only on WordPress for the time being) - 4 months after launch, we have more than 900 jobs posted, half of them completed, excellent reviews, more than $45k in revenue. I'm very proud of what we achieved so far, because we eliminated the biggest "pains" of online outsourc…

HN discussionI’m kind of in a similar boat in terms of tech stack. A few things you could do: Try to get into https://www.codeable.io/ . Haven’t tried personally yet, but might in the future. Have a look at low-code/nocode tools and become an expert in one of them (Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Zapier, etc.) Concentrate on landing pages and reach out to marketing agencies to ask if you can contract with them. Might be the easiest way t…

HN discussionI totally agree with the post, linking is somewhat broken. In our application ( https://codeable.io ), we have a table with tasks, where each row links to the single view for the task. Inner wrapping each <td> didn't really "feel" right, so I just went with javascript approach, having data-link attribute on each table row, then redirecting the user on click. I know you might ask what about graceful degradation? , bu…

HN discussionI actually tried Kera for our product ( https://codeable.io ) and even had a Skype conversation with one of the founders, but I knew having a walkthrough guide (their product) was just a band-aid for poor UX, and as such, just a temporary solution, not really worth paying for in the long term, especially when it was easy to use one of the open source solutions and adapt them (like Zurb Joyride) to our needs. Neverth…

on “Farewell Kera”Excellent, just did the same thing about a month ago (for https://codeable.io ). We wanted to use Rails 4 but Active Admin didn't want to play nicely, so I looked around (and checked it's dependencies) and came to the same conclusion. One additional gem I'd recommend with this setup is also Ransack (AA also uses it) that allows you to easily implement searching. After I was done, I wrote pretty much the same amount…
