The first flight of the Falcon Heavy promises to be a public spectacle, with NASA selling out $195 viewing party tickets.


I'm just a touch sad that NASA is selling tickets for an endeavour one would have ideally hoped they would have spearheaded.


Sadly, the taxpayers don't seem to understand the value of having a publicly funded space program


It's guaranteed to be great either way!


Remember that fb sattelite explosion ? If Falcon Heavy explodes (and I really hope it doesn't) the blast will be three times as big. I don't think I'm prepared.


> I don't think I'm prepared

How do you think you need to prepare for a pressure pulse that would dissipate to a whisper a few miles from the pad?


Mentally


(I'm already nervous re: JWST)


A few Ideas I'd have liked to explore if I had time (and some money):

- Code/Product Documentation SaaS tool for early stage tech companies (very few good products, one is ReadMe.io)

- An ad network for progressive web apps (PWA have good future and as of now there is no exclusive ad network for them)

- CRM kind of SaaS app for startup founders (where founders can manage all their relationship, communication and contacts like investors, journalists, team, power users, etc.)

I wish you good luck.


Thanks for the ideas! I'm curious, for the CRM for startup founders, what would be unique about this product vs other CRM tools? In other words, why couldn't a startup founder use an existing CRM?

A few Ideas I want someone to work on:

- Code/Product Documentation SaaS tool for early stage tech companies (very few good products, one is ReadMe.io)

- An ad network for progressive web apps (PWA have good future and as of now there is no exclusive ad network for them)

- CRM kind of SaaS app for startup founders (where founders can manage all their relationship, communication and contacts like investors, journalists, team, power users, etc.)

You wanted B2B so I shared those. I have a few B2C ideas as well in case you'd like to explore them as well. Hope it was helpful.


What is ReadMe.io missing that you'd like to see?


It looks like a well built product. Its just there should be more products and alternatives in every niche.

I'd personally like to see a simpler version that offers a free plan too which students can use. Just like how many B2B and developer targeted SaaS apps offer a free plan that has some limitations but help people to get started.

Students globally are not documenting their code, projects and startups because there is no simple and more importantly free/cheap alternative that they are aware of.

Readme.io is pricey and is simply beyond the reach of students and developers of developing/underdeveloped countries.

Their is no Readme.io like SaaS app for small and budget-sensitive projects as far as I know.


This is a really good news. Let's hope we see the same in 2018.
