Guys, how have your experiences been working at bootstrapped vs VC funded startups?Is there vast difference work, culture wise.

Recently I have been experimenting with algorithmic music generation. As of now, its nothing fancy. Just a set of sequentially arranged algorithmically generated melodies in the foreground and a set of fixed background music pattern. Here is an example (just the music, the video is something else). But I don't really know how I can modify this to fit Indian ragas. Any souls here who has explored the relationship between swaras and frequencies? Everything is generated from Python. Example code: https://github.com/vinaynk/VLearnX/blob/main/python/projects/wavsynth/basicmelody_examples.py

crowd funding Anybody got experience with crowd funding your startup idea here or know any good websites that are good? I've checked out indegegogo and kickstarter.

This is a question for folks experienced with python & Django. I am just picking up python & Django properly (a little late to the party). Anyways, I have my models and all done. I need to create Django forms for these models. All the tutorials that I have come across on Youtube & Udemy, create the form using the

{{ forms.as_p }} or {{ forms.as_table }}

I need to create the forms in HTML by hand as the structure of the page is a little more complex than what these provide. I know that I can do this (create a HTML form by hand) and then pluck the values in the

view.py

using:

value = request.form["name"]

My question is whether this is the recommended way to do this? I would have hoped that instead of creating the entire form in one go using:

{{ <http://forms.as|forms.as>_p }}

, there would be an option to hand-craft individual form elements but with the Django helpers. After which, I would be able to use the internal Django form helpers to read the values and validate the form. From my ASP.Net days, I remember we could do something like:

<input type='text' name='forms.student_name.name' value='forms.student_name.value' />

Does Django offer something like this? Any pointer to a tutorial or site I can look at would be appreciated. Thanks!

I HAVE AN OPPOSITE PROBLEM We have 5 pre-sales, ~200 interested customers, and partners with 100K cumulative reach ready to promote our product to their list. But I don't have a product yet. Here's our website if you're curious what we're building. This has been my biggest weaknesses so far, which is why it's been 5 months since we started building and we don't even have a v1 ready for early users to test and collect feedback. As a solo non-technical founder, what are some books/courses/people I should learn from to get good at the product side of things? I read Getting Real by the Basecamp guys and found it helpful. I'm looking for help with: • Hiring developers • Managing an early dev team • How to prioritize & incorporate user feedback • How to make things go faster and launch quicker Thanks!

Morning Folks 👋 I’m planning to get a noise cancellation headphone but confused at the choices. It seems like Bose QC and Sony XM4 are popular. Would be great to hear your inputs and experiences. Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I am getting possession(finally after 2 years delay) for 2bhk apartment we bought in 2-3 months. I am looking for doing some interiors done. From my learning so far there are following options 1. Go with one of companies like bonito designs/homelane a. Pros i. Everything is out sourced and minimal work on our side mostly choosing material ii. They claim to give 10 year warranty on things they make b. Cons i. I believe they are expensive may be I am wrong ii. Multiple projects run by them not sure if they manage them correctly iii. Things are not built on site so possible change in material after selection 2. Book a local interior designer a. Pros i. Material can be checked when it is been built b. Cons i. More personal time invested If anyone here in recent past done interiors any suggestions on above or for any service or anything related from personal experience would be really helpful

Coffee people who grind their beans just before making coffee ☕ - Does a burr grinder make a difference in coffee taste? I currently use a steel one. But the blades have lost the sharpness now and I can’t get an equal grind size. I have to get them sharped. I was looking into burr grinders as we can choose the grind size and maintain consistency. Any recs would be awesome.

Hello Everyone, I am considering installing an on-grid solar ☀️ system at my roof top. I am based in Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh). I would love to know your opinions: 1. How does cost vary if I go for a well reputed brand like Tata vs LoomSolar 2. Any other good recommendations are welcome. 3. I know we need to clean the solar panels periodically. What is the frequency ? Is it like everyday cleaning is required ? 4. Is government adjusting the bill using net-metering without much hassle OR Is it still NOT clear to government officials ? 5. Any specific things that I need to be careful about ? 6. What is the ROI on investment ? Thanks in advance 🙂

Has anyone here worked with any platform or clients that required you to sign webhooks sent to them using certificates that they have provided? One of our clients is updating to a new version of IBM's order management system, and now they require all the webhooks we send to them to be signed with a X.509 certificate provided by them.. I'm trying to find existing patterns for the same.
