If you're one for self-hosting it; Sendy ( sendy.co/ ) is pretty awesome. Once-time fee for the app, just need to add a SMTP service (where you pay per email).

I've switched to it after my bills got out of hand for what I send (a few huge lists, but 1x month email), and not looking back. 😊

Unless you're using something like the trialing feature of your MoR, there's no reason to share your customer data with them before they actually subscribe.

For #whatpulse (freemium), the customer object is only created when they subscribe.

Done. Although I'm not sure it applied to me (see my comments in the submission). 😅

👆 It's indeed unlikely anyone here would use starter kits, I think. But the starterkit market is pretty much booming right now - so people are out there. Just make sure yours stands out from the crowd, as there are a lot by now.

Seconded "ignore and move on".. 😉

You'll need to develop (or apply) thick skin. There's always going to be something wrong with your product or docs around it according to some people. Not to say some might have good opinions which you can add to the to do list.

Marketing can be very broad. Your initial list is good, but I think you're focused mostly on known/regurgitated marketing approaches. Think of marketing this way: anything that would raise awareness of your product.

Depending on your product, you can:

1. Do what @junogueira suggested
2. Go into communities like reddit, linkedin, or others, answer questions, build a rapport with the community and get referrals.
3. Built micro-tools that solve a specific problem, slightly related to your product and link it
4. Seek partnerships with other products for an integration, a bundling, or just a guest blogs
5. Cold outreach to prospective audiences (email, twitter, etc.)
6. Platform-marketing; does your product belong on a platform/marketplace? List it and the platform will do the marketing for you

Notice that most of these don't cost anything but time. One thing I've learned is that paid marketing (ads, influencers) rarely provide better results than grinding it yourself.

B - typically part of an after-workout smoothie. It'll be frozen fruit and I try to pick ones with the most healthy stuff (fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C), like lemons, strawberries, grapefruit, etc.

Klaas is right, it depends on the app and data you have. Is it interesting to keep it? Anonymize. If not, just delete it. I do have self-service deletion on all apps, it's a relatively small feature and saves you the tickets.

I have consumer apps and B2B apps, and deletion requests happen on both sometimes (far less on B2B), even with the self-service option.

For consumers I delete everything user identifying outright if they are making a personal request, except for financial stuff (for proof) - I keep those for 6 months, then auto prune. That's just in case they do a chargeback.

I have interesting data coming from the #whatpulse software - like used hardware peripherals, application versions and hashes, and more. Data that's useful even without attached users. That I anonymize.

There are also these services like saymine.com which automate requests via emails that'll send whenever they find a service in the users inbox. Irregardless of whether the user has already deleted their account. I find those so bloody annoying and lazy, I have auto responders set up to redirect the user to the self-service account deletion page. I know that's probably against the GDPR/CA/etc rules, but I don't care. 😉

You can do this, actually - but you need to use the API. And I'm not sure I want to explain - as it's indeed the beauty of the system to track every day. 😊

I was messing with the API when I built an integration to Hevy, a few months ago, and mistakenly added and completed a todo on the previous day. 😅

Hey David,

How'd you know I was thinking to move to Denmark? ;-) Awesome site, couple ideas.

1. I agree with Eduardo about the brief description - I have no idea what I'm clicking on when a link takes me to a listing
2. You mentioned knowing about the usability issues, so I won't go into detail about the breadcrums, how the search input box is so small, etc. 😜
3. You'll make it easier on yourself and the user if you give more structure to the suggestion box. I.e., don't make the category a free input, make it a select box, etc.
4. It'd be awesome to place the resources on a map of where to find them. I know not all would have a location, but for those that have a location, that'd be cool. I tend to go to Google Maps, zoom in and then find the resources in the area.
5. +1 for Eduardo's 3 & 4
