I would suggest reviewing the landing page for spelling and grammar.
Most people I know who run their own gitlab runners do it because they don't want their code run/available on servers outside of their control. From a price perspective, running gitlab runners on more powerful shared servers for $100/month is less appealing when I can run a swarm of on-demand spot instances for a lot less.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! These are all great points that you brought up! We'll be adding a new feature shortly that will allow companies to upload logos and we will (albeit manually like you mentioned) convert them to vectors.
I can't thank you enough for the positive/constructive feedback. It's really hard creating something new and staying positive with all the naysayers!
Absolutely an option! Unfortunately for a lot of people the router is hidden away. For those renting their house on airbnb or similar, the last thing you want your guest to have to do is hunt for the router. We hope having a customized Wifi block next to your entrance would make the experience awesome!
Hi there! At a basic level yes you are absolutely right. The wood however has to be rough cut, assembled with the NFC tag, precision cut, routed multiple times, sanded, laser engraved, and then have multiple coats of acrylic sealant applied to it. Not bad for only $40?
We hope that others will find a custom designed Wifi Block sitting on their shelf a lot more appealing than a printed QR code with a sticker on it, but only time will tell!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a quality product that you provide (I'm assuming you're affiliated with this). I just don't remember the last time I had to give anyone access to my WiFi (everyone's just on mobile these days), and when it has been required it's usually for laptops (which couldn't use this.. Nor a QR code for that matter)
Maybe other people would find better use for this, but for the past years I've just set my WiFi password to something I remember and in the rare cases people want to connect, I just tell them the password.
The most cases we find that the average people run into issues with mobile is in bad connection areas or when staying at one place for a while (staying over with friends or family, or at a party, etc).
A big use case as well is airbnb's and home rentals. One of the first things that you want when entering a rental is free wifi!
Yeah I'd love if airbnbs had these. I tend to rent places in mountainy areas with bad cell service. It feels like 90% of the time we arrive bleary-eyed from a long drive, needing to look up a place to get dinner, only to find the welcome packet which has a handwritten password like "FJ#)@Jkfsf2JBbnNVnIOfQPOWre230F(&J%^". Minor annoyance, but a bother all the same. I always type it out in the Notes app first to make it easier to fix typos.
I’ve rented many an Airbnb where that long password is scratched out and it looks like a previous guest has written in “torpedo” or something much easier to type.
I guess the upside of default router passwords is that it allows friendly “hackers” to help.
It’s a cabin in the woods with free WiFi. The risk of someone cracking that is lower than the risk of someone breaking in and reading the password on the fridge.
So, how about a $4 or $5 version which is the size of a coaster and only has the wifi symbol on it? You could have them manufactured in china by the thousands for a few pennies apiece.
Thank you for the feedback! Widely supported is clarified more on the footer of that section, and also in the FAQ. We'll take a look at making it more explicit though, I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. While being a technology product, our main customer focus is not to technical people, and therefore need to strike a balance between too heavy technical terms and details and getting our value proposition across.
iPhone's from iPhone 7 and up are supported in setting up the Wifi block, and iPhone X's and above support the guest functionality of tapping to connect to Wifi.
Most Android devices created from 2018 and after are supported. A good way to know if your device would be supported or not is whether or not you use Android or Apple pay.
Yeap, started as a small project, then grew and added proper front end with user signup/login flows. user roles admin/non-admin. Built progressive web app. And planning to add more elements. Camera for live streaming etc.
Good beginnings, but could use some work. I've used a decent amount of these services like bond.co, Handwrytten, and manually with lob. Excited to see a new mobile app come into the space!
Some of my observations if it helps:
- No pricing information up front, or any information about what it's going to send
- No delivery expectation statements, is it going to arrive in a couple days or a few weeks? Longer?
- Play store screenshot shouldn't use a Bob Ross-esque text but actually something that someone would send on a postcard
- 3d preview at the end was cool and a surprise factor, but would have been nice to control it with my finger and have the auto rotation slow down so I can see what I am sending
- Would be nice to be able to zoom in/out on the photo instead of being stuck with showing all of it
- Address field had no autocomplete making it time consuming to tap out
