  • Hey! Nice concept, gut says yes, especially with the news the way it is. Have you gotten any data or done some market analysis? Are there other players like this in the market, how do they position themselves, how do they communicate and what’s their target audience? Then see if there’s space for you and your service. How is it different from theirs?

    I guess it’ll all come down to HOW you market it, I’m sure there’s small to medium businesses interested in switching, but try to find both emotional and rational reasons for them to do so and see if you fill those needs.

    Sure, owners will dislike Trumps policies, but what’ll make them change is more likely a) US services becoming unreliable and threatening their business model and b) FOSS/Made in EU becoming a big selling point for their customers.

    Then your communication could go along these lines of: “Scared for your data and information safety? Losing sleep over the future of your company in unstable times?” as well as fomo: “Don’t miss out on the EU/FOSS hype train and gain an advantage over your competition!”


  • Well, long walk for a short drink of water… Moreover, the point around the anecdotal Cloudflare Developer’s self experiment seems to be “Don’t trust in hearsay” rather than “don’t self experiment”, as the major gripes with the experiment are all related to external lack of trust in the experimenter’s applied scientific methods. I get the point of not overestimating your own ability to think critically in this regard, but I wouldn’t discard self experimentation per se, as it could always lead to further study.





  • I have a friend who all of a sudden was broken up with by their decade-long partner. Never saw it coming, never got full closure. Point is you can’t look into someone’s head and you might never get a definitive answer as to “why” and “how” and the sooner you accept that the sooner you can move on.

    Sounds harsh now, but things end and this too shall pass eventually. Stay strong.
