React native is a newer SDK for us and should be rapidly improving. I want to dig in here and see if we can fix this. Dropped you an email.


Hey Braden, I’m Colin, CEO at Customer.io. I’m glad you’re getting value out of our segmentation & automation!

Your use-case: enormous mailing list, but only a small % you consider valuable is one where our pricing actually ends up being competitive with monkey themed newsletter tools but you get way more.

Pricing is definitely as much art as science, and over ~$1000 a month we can consider what’s unique about your business in your plan and do something custom.

Aspirationally, we want renewing customer.io to feel like it’s your easiest decision every month. Feel free to email me —- colin [at] customer.io if you want to connect about your use of the product.


Hey, I’m Colin, CEO of Customer.io. We’ve always had a trial w/ our self-service experience. We deprioritized it (and unfortunately made it harder to find) as we built our sales experience. We’re working to make Customer.io a great tool for you to use on day one of your company, not something that gets added at Series B.

Looks like you decided not to raise money for Tier. The bootstrapper program gives you access to Customer.io for a year for free - https://customer.io/startup-program/bootstrapped/.

I hope you give it another look!


Hey, thanks for sharing the bootstrapper link. I'll check it out.

If you are interested in offering plans for any segment or channel, as well as custom pricing configurations for larger accounts, then I think could be useful for you. My email is Jevon at tier.run if you'd like to connect.


Nice work! We're really proud of how the warehouse sync feature we built at Customer.io turned out. We had to do it all from scratch though!

Good luck with the next steps for Pipebird.


Thanks! People really seem to love your warehouse sync feature. We hope to help other companies offer similar products to their customers.


There’s reason to be skeptical.

From a local Portland journalist covering the protests:

“ Not that I want to legitimize this @reason piece, but I have filmed copious moments of ppl throwing things at police/vandalizing bldgs/etc & have never been told I’m not allowed to film. I have never heard of the so-called “IPC.” The lack of sourcing in this story shows.”

“ Also, worth noting that this piece is by Nancy Rommelmann. Background:

Apparently @alex_zee is no objective observer and has participated in disinformation.

Sure, but that doesn't invalidate the tweet which is factual, not opinion based, and easily verifiable.

Whereas Zee's tweet relies solely on us to trust him.



Oh Salon, that bastion of levelheaded, fact first reporting. /s


He was considered left-wing until he dared to report what he saw, refusing to censor it for the benefit of Antifa. That sounds like a reputable journalist to me.


No there isn’t. There is documented video of this happening. It may not happen to every single journalist but that doesn’t mean it is not happening. Antifa is very organized and they specifically look for journalists they do not like.


> Antifa is very organized

Maybe in some places, there may be some groups that seem so. But given the evidence I've seen near me, 'organized' would be too strong a word. They're more 'middle-class white kids looking to get their faces punched', at least around here.


Please post a link to these videos. I was surprised I couldn't find any in OP.



The video I saw was on a live stream. A cursory searched turned up this thread from a WaPo reporter though that includes photos and videos of this happening in DC:

That's pretty expected though: if you're on somebody's side, they're usually not treating you as an enemy (not getting on any lists!), won't try to stop you from filming and generally treat you nicely.


This is probably the most important comment in this whole thread.


Customer.io (https://customer.io) | Remote (Globally) | Full Time

Customer.io helps web and mobile apps send emails, push notifications, and SMS through great APIs and an easy to use interface to deliver a great experience for users and customers.

https://customer.io/careers/

We've been around since 2012, have a team of 61, and are profitable.

Currently Hiring:

- Mobile Engineer (Help us establish our mobile focused team!) : https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/2293143

- Engineering Managers: https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/2309147

( and the type of recruiter who would be reading hacker news - https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/2302287 )


We used to calculate gross margins as hosting & other services we paid for to deliver our service and got 85% gross margins.

We recently learned that’s not quite right and added in salaries for our support team and site reliability engineers and it’s 75% gross margin.

The definition absolutely matters and it would have been great if they stated an opinion.


Customer.io | Engineering roles | Remote | https://customer.io/careers/

We’re working to make Customer.io the default choice for any internet business to deliver great, automated customer experiences at scale. Customer.io is used by over 1200 businesses to create continuity after a person leaves a website or mobile app. Every message (receipts, win-backs, and on-boarding) across every channel (email, push, sms and more) can be managed and measured in Customer.io.

Front End: Ember.js https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/1698749

Back End: Golang https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/1608568

Site Reliability Engineer: Google Cloud https://boards.greenhouse.io/customerio/jobs/1605977


If you run a SaaS business this applies to you too especially when you start to reach any sort of scale. The wayfair case has only emboldened the states.


I stayed at this location last January - https://www.sonder.com/destinations/chicago/Handsome-2BR-nea...

It photographed really well which is why I stayed there, but the bedding was terrible. The worst of any Airbnb experience and it’s part of why I generally choose hotels for short stays now.

This rental had cheap pillows, linens that felt like sand paper, and the comforter was bare sandwiched between a large sheet. Towels were tiny and cheap motel quality. I was really disappointed. Hopefully their other locations are better than this one. I personally wouldn’t go back.

I filled in their after-stay survey and never heard a response.
