Why HN links it

HN commenters mostly mention KashFlow as accounting software. The one blog post they link is a piece on how shorter free trials affect signups, which one commenter calls worth a read.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 10 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. It has been pointed out, in these comments, that the design is quite similar to that of http://www.kashflow.com (though the markup is quite different)

  3. Looks like a template as http://KashFlow.com seems eerily similar. Better that than a custom design though, I imagine it saved a fair bit of money.

  5. KashFlow, London - Front-end developer http://www.kashflow.com/blog/front-end-developer-vacancy/ At KashFlow we are not shy of taking the road less travelled. Right now we are redefining how SaaS products get delivered by building a first-of-its-kind application. Bucking the common trend to build multiple native apps, which we feel is the antithesis of SaaS development, we are building a responsive single page web a…

  7. We chose Xero for our UK startup as: 1) It syncs with HSBC bank (we chose HSBC as it syncs with Xero) 2) It syncs with PayPal (we chose PayPal as it syncs with Xero) 3) Our accountants ( http://ihorizon.co.uk/ ) use it heavily 4) It has an API My goal in choosing an accounting tool is to have visibility and centralisation to ensure that the key people in the company have information instantly about cash flow, assets…

  11. I'm in the UK and use Kashflow ( http://www.kashflow.com/ or http://bit.ly/kashflow if you're feeling affiliate-link-friendly) -- it's been rock-solid and has plenty of hassle-reducing features beyond the usual invoicing and book-keeping stuff, including inbound online client payments and good VAT support with automated return submissions. My accountant also has access and it makes that side of my business very very…

  13. http://www.kashflow.com/ is another great one, especially if you happen to be in the UK. I'd also second the vote for Xero. Haven't actually used it yet, but always looked impressive from the sidelines at least.

  17. I'm commenting on the marketing aspect as a marketing analyst: I would: 1) Change the navigation of the site making About 2nd. In About, I honestly find it daunting that there is seemingly only one person behind it. The number of people behind a product doesn't matter so much, but it does matter how this is displayed. So for instance there is no info about Gary on who he is or to his twitter or linkedin. This kind o…
