Stockholm, Sweden. Unfortunately we're not able to provide much in the way of relocation assistance :(
Looking for a Javascript developer with some Haskell understanding and an interest in doing growth related work with me at a ~10 people startup.
You'll be helping me with Scrive's growth, which involves doing some A/B testing, some Haskell, some support and a lot of JS. You don't need to know Swedish.
In return you'll be working at Sveavägen in a sweet office with very nice people. You can work a day or so a week from home, and we practice "flextid".
You'll also get to disrupt some seriously wasteful practices related to printing papers and scanning signatures.
And you'll interact with Poland and Swedens finest Haskell programmers.
No, but if I did, I'm fairly certain I could do it for less than $500,000/mo, assuming I can do something like "once your file has been hosted without being downloaded for more than x amount of time, users will get a link sent to an email a few hours or so after requesting the file".
Some tuning on that, and I'm fairly certain you could run things for less than $500,000k a month -- most files are probably uploaded, downed a few times in a week or two by a select number of people, and then forgotten.
Then again, and this is key here, I have not tried this. It's also something that could be difficult to patch into codebase if it wasn't considered early -- we're all familiar with the problem of coding ourselves into corners, especially when time is on the table.
Someone should do a surfing game where the waves are generated from the DOM of a site that the user inputs. This would take surfing the web to the next level.
Distributed, peer to peer mail.
That sounds like something from a sci-fi novel.
I can see it now - you sign up and log where/when you're going, and how much space you have to take packages/letters with you. Some algorithm matches your as a courier up with people who need stuff taken where you're going.
The service is free if you act as the courier (...or mule, I can totally see that being misused rapidly).
I don't know how you get around the depot and 'guy who goes door to door' model though.
Oh! Maybe that's a good startup idea - some kind of 'mail is here to be picked up' notification for the USPS, which could then optimize it's route and only hit places it had mail to deliver/pick up from.
I go days with no in or outgoing snail mail, but the poor postman has to walk up to my mailbox and check (no flag, it's inside the building).

Also Haskell. Haskell Haskell Haskell.
