EU subscription withdrawal

Hey, Another thing the EU has made unfair... In order to be compliant, if you're selling subscriptions you should allow a 14-day window for users to withdraw from the contract that was established by the subscription. The thing is, the payment processor would not return processing fees and additionally charge for refund processing. The talented EU legislators has left this part out, or perhaps it is the payment processors have some good lobbying there. Anyways, your kind opinions are appr...

I built a calorie-tracking app before finding a real problem. What would you do next?

I made a beta version of a calorie-tracking app. The funny thing is, I built it backwards. I initially made it for myself. A friend started using it and really liked it, which made me think about turning it into something bigger. But now I'm questioning the whole thing. There are already hundreds of calorie-tracking apps, and I don't think I have a strong USP yet. I don't want to solve the problem of “I need another calorie tracker.” I'd rather find a real problem that people who ...

Today we got our first inbound signup! But...

Randomly at 09:00am we got an email. Someone has signed up! So stoked! Unfortunately, they didn't make it through our credit card validation for the free trial. I'm wondering about your thoughts on this. We have the credit card validation mandatory as currently, achieving a few paying members is our main priority, and we don't want to suffer from signup abuse (people making multiple accounts for extra generations) But, that's still a success, I count it!
