I asked for something similar on HN some time ago and the response I remember was 'if there was a market for this it would exist' - I explained the huge marker and need for it.
The first one I saw that said they did a percentage split I think was/is the "lily card" ? - then 'the founders card' (which is way too expensive for my taste)
Then I had someone from chase bank offer to setup a personal account for me, and I flippantly said sure if you can give me the ability to split percentages every time I get paid / deposit money.. and I know what you are going to say 'that's easy, just know what you are going to deposit, do the math and enter the amount.. full stop - I don't want that - that has been available for a long time everywhere..
This lady told me you can do a percentage now - she was pretty sure she saw that in her training.. took some time to bring it up.. but yes right there on the screen, and she printed it for me..
ability to split a percentage when money comes in..
Now I have not gotten into the details yet - like can you set a percentage for one source coming in and a different one for another?
for my use case I just simply wanted 34% going to a saving account every time I put money in, and that appears doable there now.
When I saw you list I just thought, do a 50/10/10/30 split
have the 10 for affliates just be another account - when money hits there do your 15 split..
Things may get wonky splitting your third account, the 10% for 3 contractors - I think bank match gets weird when it hits a 3.3333% - I would hope there are rules for adjusting in there, but I have not yet seen the system to know.
I actually tried a similar thing when someone set me up with ADP payments a few months ago - they had an option to send 67% to one account and the rest to a different bank account - I was shocked.. and even though I think it had a thing that said if there is leftover pennies or partial percentage just push the rest to X choice..
however it did not go through for some reason - whoever managed that company's ADP stuff said there was some error they had to manually do a thing, don't recall.
Anyhow, I am glad to see that some options are becoming available for this finally - there were none I could find a while back.
I had wanted to do a twitter campaign tagging each major bank and explaining how a bunch of people need this and the bank that rolls it out can be attractive to the gig economy and freelancers big time.
not sure these would qualify for 'good resources' - that really depends on many factors. However at least one or two of his showing 'how to use' does check the boxes of your 1,2, and 3 - surely not a complete "here is everything you can do" - but not sure such a thing exists.
sadly I used similar words recently when attempting to discuss DNS records with godaddy support via text messaging.
SMS text as an option is fine to have, and was good for the situation in which this came up for me - but the delayed back and forth and then switching to other support people who did not seem to know the previous messages turned it into a real drain and I gave up with 'I hate this. done.'
working on a hybrid done with you quick website launches ( https://betterwebgroup.com/quicklaunch-start/ ) to help people get started - using some tutorials and guidance for ai writing your text copy.
more than half baked now, testing on the 1st!
I've installed fresh matrix about 8 times or so, got it to work 3 of those times. I started looking for how to do a fresh install earlier this year (matrix/synapse element) and I have no idea which docs to use,
It was bad enough before that I had to detour to random places to find workarounds for things like how nginx does it's thing differently than the matrix docs I was reading at the time.. but now with the newer element that makes it easy to not find a self hosting way - to main docs being listed as archived or old -
I'd enjoy installing it fresh with someone from matrix watching the process just to see what a slog it is - and then watch someone try to get some addins running like admin and moderation.
wordpress is a one click install via softalicious and similar on most cpanel 10$ and up hosts.. you can one click add a decent free chat plugin if you are on a VPS.
If matrix was that simple to setup, lots of people would be using it.
I sometimes wonder the firm defintion(s) of 'public social media'
If you post a blog on blogspot or similar it seems the point is to be public.
(there could be settings there to make some things non public, I don't remember or know what is current)
If you post on a network that requires login to see the posts, is that public?
(is twitter / tumbler / fbook all indexed via google / available without login?)
If you post on a social network inside a group that requires approval to join, but is free - is that public?
If you post something behind a paywall, is that public?
If someone shares a photo of you that you DMed a person using a social network..
Snapchat makes things disappear, whatsapp advertises that even they can't see your bad behavior.
Did you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in these places?
One could argue that stolen photos, texts, books, movies that are posted on a social network are now public.
And then I think about the number of people who don't understand what is public and what can be seen by others, and I feel that our apps and hardware should bear some responsibility to remind people that tapping like or making a comment may feel intimate / 1 to 1, but you may be questioned one day very publicly about why you were voting for one kind of thing while giving thumbs up and praise comments to twinks from your official account.
Then I wonder what kind of hybrid social systems will be a thing in the future - some sort of encrypted 1 to 1 and 1 to groups thing.
It's not just stories like this, but companies scraping tinder profiles and sharing the pictures and such..
People's expectation of privacy and the horrors of that not being a thing will likely cause more and more migrations into privacy proxy identity avatar agents;
which will likely lead to less data for the big companies where the data knowledge is the gold.
