Show HN: Ex Platform for SWEs Hey guys, just sharing this project that I've been working on. Let me know what you think. This idea came primarily from my own experience in the software industry. After a while, I was feeling discouraged by my job, mostly because I felt expendable (like a code monkey), burned out, and had unchallenging work. It felt like the employers I was working for didn’t have an idea of what was going on or how their employees were feeling. They would talk a lot about the technical challenges, but never did we talk about any mental/emotional challenges. So I started thinking about what could be done to mitigate this problem and came up with this solution. An employee experience platform that tracks multiple psychological dimensions (specifically customized to track problems that can be faced in a software engineering environment) and gives the managers some insights into their teams/employees. I'm still currently working on the MVP but would love to hear what you guys think about the idea and landing page. The MVP should be out in 2-3 weeks from now. https://smartteams.ca/ July 17, 2022 at 01:54AM

We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
