<a href="">Ask HN: Startup acquired by a large company and it sucks. What to do?</a> 
123 by lopkeny12ko | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29639486">174 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
I work at a startup with ~50 employees (and have always worked at startups). Love the work and the people. Recently we were acquired by $LARGE_CORPORATION and the experience has been a living hell for all of us. Things that should take a few days take a few weeks. Things that should take a few weeks take a few quarters. It's slowly driving me insane. The experience is best shared as a story. I'm working on migrating our apps to the parent company's VM launching and deploy platform. Should be fairly straightforward, I think. Unfortunately, the deploy tooling isn't entirely compatible with our app so I ask the team if they can implement $X feature to support our app. The first engineer I talk to doesn't even attempt to answer my question but redirects me to their manager. Ok, that's odd, I think, but whatever. Manager says sure, just fill out this feature request doc. It's a Google Docs template with 4 (!) pages of required documentation to just explain why I want this feature implemented. It asks for my team name, the motivation, why I can't solve the problem some other way, yada yada...ok, I guess it's good to document your work, so sure. I fill it out and submit it. No response after two days. Then I get an automated email that their skip level manager has approved the work. Huh? This is followed by an email that the team's eng manager approved the work. Why do two layers of management need to approve work on something they have no knowledge about? Finally, after many rounds of arguing about why this needs to be done in the first place (ahem: you told us to migrate to your platform, and it literally does not work for our app), they quote us a delivery timeline of end of Q1 in 2022 . At this point I am in absolute shock. This should take no more than a few days to implement. So I reach out to the manager and ask what is going on. This is a simple task, I said. Why does it take an entire quarter for your team to deliver? He doesn't have an answer. I tell him I'm happy to fix the issue myself, if they link me to the relevant codebase. "It shouldn't be too hard to dig in and submit a patch," I think to myself. He says he cannot give me access to the codebase for compliance reasons, and that only members of his team have R/W on that repo. What??? This is insane. And this entire time I was only alllowed to interact with managers and have not spoken to a single engineer about the actual technical details. It is impossible to get anything done here now. Is this how it's like at all large companies? What should I do?

<a href="">Launch HN: FlutterFlow (YC W21) – Build Apps Visually</a> 
117 by abelsm | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29628716">42 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
Hey HN! It’s Abel and Alex here to share what we’ve been working on for just over a year: FlutterFlow ( https://flutterflow.io ). It’s like WebFlow, but for Flutter. Flutter is an open source framework for building cross platform applications. FlutterFlow combines a UI builder with pre-built templates and Firebase/API integrations, generates clean Flutter code, and allows you to deploy to app stores directly from your browser. This enables extremely fast iteration, from product idea concepts and designs to working Flutter apps. As an example of what’s possible, we built an internal app for playing trivia games by using the jservice.io API and Firebase all in under 2 hours: Time lapse of building the app: https://youtu.be/Fm4jjpuKM1E Link to live version of the app: https://ift.tt/32bwsti Exported source code: https://ift.tt/33N3Eb9 Alex and I, along with a friend of ours from Google, quit our jobs in 2019 to work on a cross-platform mobile app that ultimately failed. It was a learning opportunity, and it also led us to feel the pain of the slow iteration process every time we wanted to roll out a new experience. We were able to experiment with various landing pages within hours, but building new screens and app experiences took weeks or even months. For over a year now, we’ve been tirelessly working on fixing this problem. I first fell in love with coding by pure luck as a kid in Ethiopia. My father, who at the time owned an internet cafe, decided to start taking night classes in CS in the late 90s. Ultimately he didn’t use his degree professionally, but I ended up with learning materials and a compiler, Turbo C++ 3.0. As I grew older, eventually ending up as an engineer at Google, I started to appreciate that as engineers we were often tasked with solving problems even when the solution didn’t necessarily involve writing code. Alex comes from a physics background, doing his undergrad at Stanford, and transitioned to study CS and AI there as well. In 2016 he joined the team I was on, a small ML group within Google Maps. He’ll often admit he had underestimated the amount of skill involved in building beautiful, fast and functional apps. And he certainly didn’t expect to love building with Flutter as much as he does, having been entrenched in ML for most of his career. Yet here we are. There has recently been a healthy amount of skepticism towards no-code tools, mainly due to concerns of extensibility and scalability. This is definitely the case for some apps - a good example is a tool such as FlutterFlow itself. It would be very difficult to build all of FlutterFlow recursively. We do use it internally for many of our pages, but using a visual builder to implement our code generator seems far fetched. This doesn’t imply however that there isn’t a middle ground that enables fast iteration in a visual builder, coupled with the ability to write code that seamlessly integrates with the overall experience. We’re not quite there yet, but we believe this is the right direction. Finally, we believe Flutter is going to be the catalyst that drives this movement. It’s composability, the fact that it’s super cross-platform (Android/iOS/Web/Desktop/Embedded), and the vibrant and passionate community it fosters give it a unique advantage. Whether we do it or someone else, the application builder of the future will be built on Flutter. Huge thanks to our users, the Flutter team and the Flutter community. We’d love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts. What do you think the future of application development is going to be? p.s. we were on HN when we announced our launch back in May: https://ift.tt/3u8glot We’ve made a lot of progress since then, enabling app store deployment, payments, ability to add custom code and much more: https://ift.tt/3sqPqa6

<a href="">Show HN: A labelling tool to easily extract and label Wikipedia data</a> 
29 by mariarmestre | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29595512">2 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
Hi HN! I am Maria, solo founder of DataQA ( https://dataqa.ai/ ), a tool to search and label documents for various NLP tasks (e.g. entity extraction, entity linking, etc). I have worked as a data scientist and ML engineer for the better part of a decade, and over that time have specialised mainly in applications involving natural language processing (NLP). One of the key questions I have always had at the back of my mind is whether my time was well spent. Whenever I spent more time on feature engineering or trying different models, I always wondered whether I would get better return on investment by simply labelling more data. I have created DataQA to enhance exploration & labelling of documents. It is open-source and ships with the elasticsearch text search engine which I have packaged as a python package (might be topic of a future technical post), as well as a rules-based engine to do pre-labelling of documents using NLP rules. It is very easy to install with a single pip command. One of the key things I wanted to add to DataQA is an integration to Wikipedia. Even though wikipedia is the largest living repository of human knowledge in the world, I still always found it difficult to process it and create structured datasets for my specific applications. Since wiki pages are long-form articles, it is important to divide the text into smaller text chunks. A lot of the interesting data is also sometimes displayed in tables. With DataQA you can now upload a list of wikipedia page urls and the tool will extract the articles, process them and even parse the tables, so you can then label any entities you want. You can find a tutorial here: https://ift.tt/3GSdlDh... . The open-source version of DataQA currently only supports csv, but I have an enterprise version with premium features such as labelling of pdfs (with understanding of tables). If you're interested in a free trial, please contact me at contact@dataqa.ai :-).

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Termius (YC W19) – Share your terminal session like Google Docs

<a href="">Show HN: Termius (YC W19) – Share your terminal session like Google Docs</a> 
4 by rkudiyarov | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29571019">0 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
I’m Roman from Termius (YCW19, HN launch https://ift.tt/3GMvAdt ). I want to share news about a new exciting feature that we wanted to build for a long time. It’s Terminal Sharing. Terminal Sharing enables engineers to get instant help from their colleagues by providing a link to their terminal output updated in real-time. There is also a mode where the viewer can enter commands from their end. When I was getting into programming, some of my biggest problems were: compilation errors or not being able to set up something on a Linux server. One of the ways to get help in such a case is to ask a friend or colleague who has done it before. One more thing, we all remember times (before the pandemic) when teammates could come to your table and check out where you got stuck and often it’s in a terminal window. Unfortunately,it’s often impossible in the post-COVID era when most of the teams work remotely Of course, there is always a way of using a multiplexor like tmux, byobu or screen. However, it’s a bit annoying because you have to deal with access like adding keys or passwords. Then you have to communicate back and forth to see if the person is there. You also need to remember to start those tools before you end up with an issue. And finally, you need to remember to remove the access later. The whole thing is even harder on Windows with Putty. Alternatively, you can use zoom and screen sharing, but it requires dealing with control over the keyboard input, which is quite cumbersome. This is why we built Terminal Sharing in Termius. If you need help from your friend or colleague, then you can create a live session in just a second. You get a unique link to sharein just two clicks. Terminal Sharing is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, no mobile support yet. You and the viewers need only to have the free version of Termius to use basic Terminal Sharing features. We like the idea of giving this feature for free to spread the word about the product and build more advanced, paid, collaboration features for teams later. In terms of the technical implementation, Terminal Sharing uses WebRTC under the hood, and it tries to establish a peer-to-peer connection when possible. WebRTC uses TLS 1.2, which encrypts the traffic. Check it out here: https://ift.tt/30vjMN7 . We’re still testing usability and viability of this feature, so any feedback is welcome. The feature is free, but it requires an account (no subscription required!). Please share your feedback in the comments!

New top story on Hacker News: Apple revoked developer account for 2.5 years and counting, unfair treatment

<a href="">Apple revoked developer account for 2.5 years and counting, unfair treatment</a> 
45 by camhart | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29569561">20 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
tldr: I launched Truple 4.5 years ago (see https://ift.tt/3IQ7j81). 2.5 years ago Apple froze my developer account. Since that time competitors released similar functionality for Apple products. Apple still has my Developer account on lockdown. What can I do? long version: 4.5 years ago I launched Truple (https://ift.tt/3IQ7j81), a bootstrapped parental control / accountability app. Truple is used by parents to gain insight into how their children use the internet, but also by adults who struggle with online habits they'd like to change (porn being chief among them). The screenshot based approach Truple offers proves to work much better than other solutions. It's the only solution that allows you to use social media, but still have accountability for what you're viewing through social media. For example, if you have access to Twitter, you have access to porn. You can't use twitter without having that access. Truple allows you to use twitter while still being held accountable for what you view on twitter. No other solution offers this, because they don't report what you're viewing within an app. Twitter is just an example, the same goes for all "innocent" apps (social media, streaming sites, etc) that contain concerning content. 2.5 years ago, I submitted an early version of a MacOS app for notarization. A couple of days later my Apple Developer account was "frozen" without any message or indication why. The signing certificates were just revoked. After a year or so, Apple said they found "potentially unwanted software" in my app and were investigating. I indicated that was unexpected (that's the only question they asked me). As background, to run the app you have to download and install it, login to your truple account, select what you want the monitoring settings to be, grant permissions, etc. It's a whole process. I point this out because the app didn't do anything malicious or against the device owners' will. After nearly two years of waiting on Apple (I emailed regularly, they kept saying it was under review) Apple decided they wouldn't finish the investigation but that I needed to create a new developer account. I've since done so. I submitted a redesigned version of the app for notarization, and now, while my account isn't "frozen", notarization is rejected with the message: "Team is not yet configured for notarization." I submitted a "hello world" app using boilerplate code for notarization, and I get the same rejection. I now have another case open with Apple, and it's going nowhere it seems. I'm assuming Apple has flagged my second account due to the previous issue. I fear I'm stuck in a continual loop. Truple was the first to offer screenshot based monitoring as a parental control / accountability app, but during the past 2.5 years, multimillion dollar competitors have been allowed by Apple to launch apps with similar functionality for Apple products. I have read and reread the Apple developer agreement. My app is in alignment with it... I've made sure since day one that a "reasonably suspicious" notification is present when the app is monitoring. Once enabled, the data captured is end-to-end encrypted and only made accessible to the account owner and their chosen recipients. I've expressed a willingness to make changes if need be, but Apple hasn't indicated I need to make any. They've just been silent. What should I do? I've been extremely patient with Apple. But it's now been 2.5 years and it's gotten me nowhere. Apple seems unwilling to do anything for me but take my annual developer fee. I'm not famous and I have no significant following to rely on to garner attention to this unfair treatment. I ask for your help.

14 by m_kos | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29534663">9 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
TL;DR: I am looking for a platform to distribute my dissertation research data collection Android app to ~50 adult study participants in the US. The most important features are the ability to quickly and reliably deliver app updates over one year, safety, affordability, and good UX (participants are non-technical Android users). I don't want to use Google Play Store. To give you some context, for my dissertation project, I need to collect data using a custom Android research app installed on participants' phones for one year. The app requires a lot of permissions and continuously collects a lot of data. My colleagues discouraged me from using Play Store because Google banned their apps for no good reason and with no recourse, even though their research was approved by research ethics and human subject protections committees (IRB). This jeopardized their federally-funded studies and caused issues with their findings. For this reason, I would like to distribute my app to ~50 adult study participants in the US using a different platform. Four features are especially important to me. First, app updates need to be delivered reliably and relatively quickly over one year. Second, there can be no spyware, excessive tracking, unnecessary notifications, nudges to download other apps, and no annoying ads. Third, affordability is important because I would be paying for the distribution from my personal student savings. Finally, I would prefer a platform with good app update UX for non-technical users, including older adults. So far, I have looked into APK Mirror, but according to their policy [1], > If your app is new, doesn't have a proven track record, and not > unique, it will likely not be approved. I have also tried F-Droid, but at least on my Pixel 2 XL, updates of some apps downloaded from F-Droid often fail to install. Would you have any recommendations on what other platforms I could look into? Thank you. [1]: https://ift.tt/3oQcehl...

<a href="">Ask HN: How do I create a social movement to change the world?</a> 
12 by andrewstuart | <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29533251">6 comments</a> on Hacker News. 
HN: I am asking your advice on how to build a social movement to change society. What can you suggest to help me? I'm deeply angry about a particular social issue and feel helpless. So what can I do? I've concluded the only thing I can do is try to create on online community and movement. So I come here to my community Hacker News, where there is infinite skill and capability in building online community, campaigns and movements and I ask for help. It seems to me that any social movement needs a catchy name, so I've created that (see below). The next thing I have done is create a subreddit with the name of the social movement (again see below). I also created a website a while back, although does not use the catchy name I created, so it needs updating (again, see below). But really the things I've done above are just guesses. I have no idea how to create a social movement and change the world. Thanks! I have the subject matter below, to avoid this post being seen as HN spam: **************************************** The subject of the social movement: The catchy name "Real Estate Rebellion". The goal: I want to end housing as a financial investment in Australia. The issue: I'm deeply angry about what has happened with house prices in Australia. Ordinary people - teachers, nurses, public servants will never be able to buy a house in Australia. In fact even well paid people who don't currently own will never be able to buy a house. It wasn't like this before. In Australia, some people own multiple houses, 1/2/3/4 or more and others own none - society has been split into renters and landlords. The politicians all own multiple houses and dare not say a single word against raging house prices. I want to end housing as a financial investment in Australia. I know this is a deeply radical idea but I think it's valid - why should housing be a financial instrument? Let's end the house prices ponzi scheme.
