That is crazy. Curious - are you planning on raising to the board, administrators, etc? It's probably impacting other students (who don't have a parent checking their work), and teachers of other subjects in the school may be doing the same thing
FanPad | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (we are a fully remote company) | Full-Time
We're building a web platform to help musicians find out who their top fans are, and then engage with them, reward them, and monetize them. We just raised our first round of funding - and are focused on adding new product features, and scaling to handle larger artists.
We're looking for a founding engineer to work alongside me (technical - spends most of my time writing code) and the founder (non-technical). The ideal candidate would be a self-sufficient full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience, an interest in music, and some experience working with AWS or a different cloud platform - but don't let not exactly matching this description keep you from reaching out!
Our tech stack: Angular, .NET, Postgres, AWS
We offer competitive salary + equity. If you're interested, please reach out to me at: alex at fanpad dot xyz
there's not much to see except a google form for signups and gumroad link for payment. it only has glacier national park configured right now.
the notification system is a github action that runs constantly, scraping the api that makes the reservation.gov permits, and then checking if any of the subscription notifications have changed.
the sign up is a google form that triggers a zapier and adds the new notification subscription to a google sheet. the spreadsheet is used in the github action. the zapier also sends an email with a payment link to the user.
Nice! Wish I could use it - but I'm checking for available wilderness permits not campground permits (in Yosemite to hopefully hike the John Muir Trail this summer)
it was wilderness permits for the backcountry, not campground permits. but the api works the same for either permit type. i can hook you up if you happen to catch this message, i don't see an email on your profile. email me at smcalilly@gmail.com
So this is really a open-source Shopify replacement, right? An OMS that lets you sell on multiple channels (website, Amazon, Instagram, Etsy…) and manage/fulfill those orders in one location?
I was confused at first by your title (open source Amazon) which seemed like it was going to be a e-commerce marketplace like Amazon.com - but it seems like that’s the 2nd step.
Why does a new e-commerce marketplace also require a new open-source OMS? OMS’s have a lot of seller lock-in, but it seems like way less lift to have OpenSourceAmazon.com be a channel sellers using Shopify’s OMS can sell on with a few simple steps on Shopify.
For reference, Shopify already has https://shop.app/ which does some browsing and recommendations based on your product purchase history, so while it's still "you must use shopify as your storefront", I don't see it as much different from this guy's product.
Perhaps the selling point is "nobody can deplatform you", but chances are not many places have that problem (shopify is against doing it for political content[0]), and if that's the case, all this does for you is force you to hire a team to handle scaling the systems once you need to support tens of thousands of concurrent users.
