Hi, very disappointed with Lastpass, and no longer trusting any cloud password manager, so what are the options for a paid or open source password manager that:

1) has multi-platform, multi-device support, and

2) has the ability to store encrypted password vaults in user-defined 3rd-party cloud file storage like Backblaze, Cloudflare, Google Cloud Storage, AWS S3 etc. much like how Arq Backup and other backup software allow user-defined 3rd-party cloud storage.

Got any suggestions or experience with using any such password managers?

Hi guys, I built Flixeye: http://flixeye.com as a side-project for watchlist notifications of streaming movies.

Until now I was using Netflix' OData API for movie lookups, but with the recent API changes[1] OData will be retired, which would break my little app. To make it worse, Netflix is no longer issuing new public API developer keys.

I was wondering if someone can share/transfer their inactive/unused Netflix developer account with a valid API that they don't use. I can then use the API instead of OData for my app. I'll really appreciate your help.

Please email me at info@flixeye.com

Thanks!

Hi guys, I've built Flixeye: http://flixeye.com - a watchlist notification app for streaming movies. It's a side-project I made to basically scratch my own itch.

If any of you are registered on IMDb and use their watchlists feature (http://www.imdb.com/list/watchlist), then please try out my app and share your feedback (@flixeye).

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I'm in need of some advice regarding my startup. We offer simple annual plans for subscription. We feel the price is right, as we've been seeing a gradual increase in paying customers.

To track our online sales funnel better, I've been monitoring the usage statistics via some simple Google Analytics Goals. What this has brought to my attention is that many users are looking at our pricing, landing up on the payment confirmation page to upgrade their account, but they don't make a payment. There are atleast 10-15 such cases being recorded each day. The payment confirmation page is basically a mid-way page that displays the information/price of the selected plan, and a button linked to PayPal.

Having seen several confirmation/summary pages over the years, I find that we have a simple page, so the lost sales couldn't be caused due to the layout or content. I also doubt that reflecting PayPal as our official payment processor would stop interested users. We have a PayPal business account, so that couldn't be less professional.

How should I go about investigating and resolving this issue? I was thinking of putting up a simple feedback form on the payment page (in case the users wish to share their positive or negative experience), or maybe redoing (or even eliminating) the mid-way payment confirmation page. As I see it, the only benefit of this payment confirmation page is that users can get a summary of their upgrade before they make the payment.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi guys,

Two years ago, we launched our startup (all previous attempts didn't even last an year). It started out slow, but picked up gradually. Today, its one of the top 3 web services in its 'genre', in terms of traffic and market share.

We started as a free service, but moved to a 'freemium' business model last year. Our revenue comes from paid plans and advertising. Our monthly revenue ranges between $500-$1000. We are working on a few other avenues for marketing and promotion, which can increase our revenue.

We have no immidiate plans for IPO, or selling our startup, or finding an investor. We want to continue growing our startup organically.

But, I've been thinking about expansion a lot lately. I was wondering, how can one grow a startup once it reaches a profitable stage yet small-scale (like us at the moment)? We have revenue around a few hundred dollars coming in, but how can we take it to the 'next level' and increase our sales volume as well as profit margin?

Any advice, suggestions, or views are most welcome. Thanks!
