About

I'm a multi-hat "hands-dirty" CTO type with a track record of helping entrepreneurs scale their projects from zero to large-scale - having previously worked in a number of successful startups that have outperformed in their respective niches.

I'm also a seasoned full-stack web and app engineer/developer, with apps in the major stores.

I've cut my teeth in M&A, being familiar with dealmaking/brokering and what it takes to fund a lean/hungry startup.

The idea

Zap killer

Zapier is an amazing platform for building automations and for connecting APIs, however it suffers from a number of drawbacks, namely:

- Free plans are stingy, with a limit of 5 zaps comprised of single-steps. Many basic features, and all advanced features are disabled.

- Lower tier plans incur execution delay “penalties” up to 15 minutes, limiting the utility of anything requiring “near-real-time” responsiveness.

* Zapier is expensive! For those companies running high volumes of zaps per month ($600/Mo for 100K zaps, and $2,500/Mo for 1M zaps).

* Plans that enable collaboration (i.e. “teams”) start at $300 per month.

* Support for multi-branched flows within a zap is clunky at best, and is only available to those users…

Answers in the Nest

Flutter vs React.js to develop a new App for iOS and Android“Having personally used and developed with both platforms both as an individual and in teams, I have to strongly disagree with the others here who have rendered their opinions without understanding your specific use-case. Each eco-system has its appeal, and React has certainly been around longer than Flutter/Dart. The approaches used in each eco-system are very different - Flutter compiles to native (Arm) code, and it is quite fast. R/N runs in a Javascript environment and for many use-cases can get a little sluggish. From a UI perspective, Flutter lives up to its promise of pixel-perfect rendering, while R/N is somewhat more arbitrary due to its use of native components under the hood. Dart is a strongly typed language and (again IMHO) seems to scale better for large projects because of the discipline it enforces (I know..... Typescript/Flow!). React is great for small teams because it means you can leverage JS skills on both the back and front-end. When developing custom code/components, each system differs markedly. I think if you were to provide a more detailed use-case/specification, folks could weigh in with more meaningful opinions.”
