We've raised $4.6M to date to help home service businesses (think HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, roofing) with their digital marketing, building everything with an AI-first mindset.
We are a small team still (16 total in the company).
I'm the founder/CEO and have 13 years experience as an SWE so we very much take an engineering-first approach. If you're interested and your Github profile goes back to at least 2019, email me directly - will[@]rebolthq.com
If I could make one recommendation: hire a UX/UI designer ASAP. The less technical the audience, the more intuitive and easy to navigate the UI needs to be.
Our company focuses on home service businesses and they get roadblocked super easily. I think you'll be glad you did it earlier rather than later. Otherwise, the ux debt will pile up and it will be quite a project a year down the line.
Thanks! "Brilliant" might be giving us too much credit. We're mostly just paying attention to how devs are using video and trying to solve problems in that space. Next-video.dev is another example I'm proud of.
Some of what you're seeing on the open source player front is that we already kind of have to support those projects anyway. We're player agnostic, so our customers use a lot of open source, including projects that aren't actively being maintained.
I think we're benefitting right now from being one of a very few dev-focused video companies that's also actively contributing to open source.
Hi! I'm a co-founder of Helicone.ai! We let non-technical teams create, edit, and version prompts in our UI. You can also run A/B tests with production inputs before rolling out new versions.
Many of the best SEO understand technical aspects but don't actually code. The vast majority. Source: built and sold company on the back of SEO and worked with many great SEOs.
Perhaps ban is too strong. I think Canada has had a really positive result in how it has dealt with tobacco. Cigarettes are by no means illegal, you can get them at any gas station, grocery store, 7-11 or pharmacy. But they are heavily taxed, the packages have to be covered in graphic warnings, the branding has to be plain and just use a generic font of the brand name. Commercials aren't allowed. Advertising isn't allowed. As a result, a lot less people just take up smoking, and it's almost completely fallen off culturally.
That might be the best solution to gambling. At least in Canada, casinos are very well advertised and glamorized. They're often run by the government, but they still market themselves to attract customers in a way you wouldn't expect of say, a safe opioid consumption site. Their slot machines are just as addictive. Sure, there's lip service paid to preventing gambling addiction, eg a piece of paper on the wall instructing patrons to play responsibly. But if we took the same attitude towards it as we do to tobacco, it might just fade away without all the downsides of prohibition.
