I love your app's fidelity. My main issue with healthcare/nutrition software is always ads, trackers and selling of healthcare data. I'd seen the multi-seat Pro version before that makes promises, but stupidly hadn't noticed Cronometer Gold (ad-free). Taking another look now.
Thanks! While we do have ads in the free version, there's no sharing of any user account data with third parties. We strictly do not share/sell any user data, and treat all user data with the same care as the user data that would fall under HIPAA standards.
Founder of cronometer here. Sounds like a email delivery issue — I assume you already checked for it accidentally going to junk filter, etc. if you email our support@cronometer.com they can get you going.
Cronometer | Revelstoke BC, Canada | Multiple Roles | Full Time
Cronometer is a leading nutrition tracking platform headquartered in a mountain-sports paradise. Bootstrapped over 10 years, now 35 people strong and growing. We are looking to add senior engineering talent to help grow and manage the team (i.e. senior roles in managing both the people side and the technical side). Our ideal team member also wants to come skiing, mountain biking, touring, climbing, hiking, mountaineering, kayaking, etc... with us!
We adopted it a year ago and the team still quite likes it. Reduced day to day stress and distractions and a good structure and shared vocabulary. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect but much nicer than the sprint treadmill.
We just started using it and I am pretty happy that it keeps PM (me) really shaping things with a fat marker to farm for dissent early on without distracting devs in endless meetings. So sharing vision and customer problems early is great.
What miss is (maybe its me): How do you get into that execution mode from there? Break it down? High level estimates? How do get started (especially large endeavors that would be more than 6weeks)?
This article is very USA centric — it centers around it being banned for lift in the states — but that wouldn’t stop just about everywhere else on the planet from building hydrogen air ships, if they are viable.
Yes -- we've been bootstrapping our diet tracker cronometer for the last 10 years. It's a much slower pace, but nice growing & operating on own terms. It took the first five years before I could quit my regular job -- but now hitting $3M ARR. Designed an awesome workplace in a ski town and have been slowly recruiting other ski-bum / devs to our way of life.
We're a small 25 person company situated in a Ski Resort town, so we're trying to find an experienced full-stack senior developer who also likes to shred the gnar in winter, shralp the loam in the summer. Enjoying the mountain lifestyle is baked into our company culture.
Cronometer.com is an advanced consumer nutrition and fitness diet tracking app along with a corresponding professional version for health-care providers.
Definitely seeing this happen in my small remote ski town (Revelstoke BC). The demand for housing has sky rocketed for this winter as so many people want to work remote from here and enjoy the skiing. Local blue collar workers hate the skiiers because they are getting priced out of everything and their cost of living & property taxes keep going up.
I have a small (~25ish person) software company based here and it's going to be a challenge to recruit this winter (we're hiring for senior devs) simply because it will be impossible for anyone to find housing here until the end of the ski season!
Last year we pulled all social logins (facebook, google, yahoo) out of our app, after supporting them for years. The UX / customer service issues mentioned in this post are absolutely legit, a complete PITA. While we were nervous about adding the extra signup friction, a year later I can easily say it was worth doing.
My established B2C SaaS app business is already seeing a steep drop in signups, activity, and sales this week. Feels like it's going to be a tough fight for survival, and already taking a lot of steps to begin turtle-mode.
