Show HN: ReadMe Recipeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26595436Heya HN!I launched ReadMe here a few years ago as a Show HN (and even got the domain by randomly happening across someone giving it away here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6397526), so I figured this was a good place to post our newest feature, ReadMe Recipes.Here's the link: https://readme.com/recipesMost API documentation focuses on Reference Guides, which have the information you need about an API... all the parameters, endpoints, headers, query params, etc. They're really important! However, for a first-time user (or even someone more experienced), it's like handing someone a dictionary and telling them to learn the language.So, we built Recipes, which are interactive, use case-based code walkthroughs aimed at helping you get your users to solve specific problems. Recipes pair a common use case for your API or technical product with a snippet of code and then walk through the code explaining what everything does.Rather than focus on GETs and PUTs and POSTs, Recipes makes itMar 26, 2021 6:42 PM

Ask HN: Do have a horror story of not using (or using) version control?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26449718With the popularity of data analysis through programming, there are perhaps more people writing code than ever. But coding best practices are often lagging in teams that have a background different than the tipical computer science professional.Do you have any stories you can share where things whent horribly wrong becuase you and / or your team were not using some form of version control? Or perhaps you were using version control but not in the right way (git can be complex in the beginning).If you have any horror stories to share that would be great. I would like to use them to illustrate a talk about the importance of version control in data science.Mar 13, 2021 8:32 PM

Launch HN: PingPong (YC W21) – Video messaging for remote teamshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26377761Hi HN,I'm Jeff, co-founder and CEO of PingPong (https://getpingpong.com), where we help remote teams collaborate and stay connected by exchanging video, voice, and screen recordings asynchronously. Think of it as Marco Polo or Snapchat (sans ephemerality) for globally-distributed product teams.We got the idea from our own experience on a different startup. Murphy, the co-founder and CTO, lives in Nigeria, and I live in the US (Utah). We had five other team members spread across three countries and four time zones. The problem for me as a team leader was how to share my ideas, feelings, and updates in a way that felt authentic and conveyed energy. I felt like I was spending my entire life either typing in Slack or scheduling Zoom calls at terrible hours. I had been kicking around the idea for our product in my head for months. At some point, I began thinking more about how to improve communication for distributed teams than what I was working on. In February 2020, after my second child Mar 7, 2021 5:30 PM

SaaS software as a part of big company's softwarehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26268858Hi, I am hoping to get some clarification regarding a business strategy. My SaaS start-up (stealth mode) is developing software for a specific industrial application. One of the big companies in the field who offers generic software feels that our focused software will be a nice add-on to theirs to provide value for their customers, who are a sizeable subset (15%) of our target market. They are asking us to integrate our software as an addon to their main software but without our startup's name for this specific subset of customers. At my previous employer, I had collaboration with this big company, and they are aware of our potential and the capabilities of the software. We initially planned to sell our software as subscription @ $ XX to general customer base. Now, they want to sell it to their customers without our name. My question is what premium do we charge this big company? The premium is not for using our name and developing our brand with customers but at the same time, we getFeb 25, 2021 9:57 PM
