Agree. However, people are allowed to price apps however they want (ie. SaaS model), but shouldn't be surprised if they are overcharging and someone else makes something similar and charges less.


Thanks for letting me know. Will fix.


Thanks I couldn't find any other info on it except what Chamath had said on a podcast, so I gave a link to the "fake" site since it explains the concept behind 80/90.


Yes, I wasn't sure how to categorize these. This is V1 of the site and I will make adjustments based on feedback. There are no Non SaaS alternatives to those products, so I included them even though they are technically SaaS with a lifetime deal.


If I were you I'd drop them outright. Better to have the directory live up to its name than to have it be more comprehensive but contain apps that are clearly SaaS.


Does your friend want to start a mail startup and provide the service for me haha?


Thanks!


These guys actually do the back-end / debit card issuing for Moven Bank.


I'd recommend The Happiness Advantage. Really changed my outlook on life for the positive.

Author also did a TED talk on the subject called "The Happy Secret To Better Work".

Love the format of your presentation. I wish all web based presentations were like that.


"The remarks attributed to me ... do not reflect my actual views and have no relation to the company's views or approach," Michael later said. "They were wrong no matter the circumstance and I regret them."


Uber also practiced ordering and canceling rides with a competitor (Gett) in order to recruit their drivers (and possibly to act as a denial of service attack). This was discovered and the company disavowed the practice as that of a rogue group of employees.

... And then later in the year was caught doing it again, except this time to Lyft.

At this point their public statements on what their company's views or approaches are is entirely useless. Uber has proven multiple times that their statements aren't just typical PR spin, but tread directly into bald-faced lies.
