Hello World!

By Sumukh Barve -




This is first post on our blog. As an engineer, I couldn't think of a more fitting title than "Hello World".

LET'S INTRODUCE OURSELVES!

I am Sumukh Barve, founding CEO of Polydojo. Polydojo is a platform for creating online forms and processes. On this blog, you'll often see posts from Mark Waterberry, our Chief of Customer Success. He has a background in operations management and spends a lot of time with businesses, helping them deal with process bottlenecks.

You should also see some posts from our CTO, Mrs. Sharmila Barve. She's a Professor of Telecommunication Engineering at TSEC; and has a keen interest in web application scalability. She is my mother. There will be occasional posts from other staff members of our staff.

Great! Now that we've introduced ourselves, its your turn. If you'd like to say hello, please use the comments box below or write to us at hello@polydojo.com. We'd be thrilled to hear from you. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to ask. We'll gladly answer.

WHAT WILL THIS BLOG BE ABOUT?

This blog will include discussions pertaining to our experiences, ideas, insights, and opinions. We'll talk about business, software, operational efficiency, related laws, practices and trends. The goal will be to write informative posts that interest business owners and administrators.

Mark is soon going to write about the Efficient Frontier of business operations, and how your business can put it to practical use. Mrs. Barve shall soon publish a post about her views regarding the licensing controversy related to Facebook's open source front-end software framework, React.

We hope we've given you a fairly good idea about what this blog is going to be. If you have any questions about Polydojo, or personal questions for Mark, Mrs. Barve or I, please feel free to ask. Use the comments box below or write to hello@polydojo.com.

WebDev: Bye RequestBin, Hello Alternatives!

RequestBin  was a great tool for testing webhooks. At  Polydojo , the tool helped us roll our form-to-webhook integration; and sometimes, we even used RequestBin while doing demos for fellow devs. Last week, the good folks at  Runscope  took down RequestBin. The website now redirects to the project's  GitHub repository , which ominously reads: We have discontinued the publicly hosted version of RequestBin due to ongoing abuse that made it very difficult to keep the site up reliably. Please see instructions below for setting up your own self-hosted instance. One could still self-host RequestBin; and that is pretty sweet. But when you're tasked with setting up webhooks, do you really also want to be in-charge of provisioning the webhook-testing infrastructure? Alternatives It was time to look for alternatives; and to our surprise, there were quite a few. We evaluated most of them; and thought that it may be worthwhile to share our reviews Webhook Inbox  is c

It's great that your website has a "Contact Us" Page. But are enough of your visitors contacting you? In this article, we'll explore a few ideas for generating more leads with your contact page. 1. Ask Prominently Make it a point to prominently highlight the primary goal of your website. E-commerce sites usually highlight "Shop Now" and software services ask you to "Sign Up" or "Start Free Trial". If your website's primary goal is to get visitors to contact you, use a bold, highlighted, attention-grabbing  "Contact Us"  or  "Get In Touch"  button, on  each and every page  of your website. 2. Ask More Than Once Many visitors, after visiting your homepage and noticing your prominent  "Contact Us"  button, will scroll down to see the rest of your site. As the reach toward the bottom,  remind them to contact you ! I recommend giving your visitors at least three opportunities to contact you.

Working with a large team can produce extraordinary results, but only if you ensure that members work together effectively. It's easy to lose track of all the work being carried out, and to find people moving in different directions, wasting time on the wrong tasks. Clarify & Focus Are Key: Any good manager will tell you that the primary key to effectively managing large teams is clarity in focus. It's important for each and every team member to to know the company's primary focus. For example, if your company is currently focusing on acquiring new customers to boost top-line growth, it's important for all team members to know about this. That way, Tim from operations will know to focus more on increasing process capacity, rather than on sourcing cheaper raw materials. However, despite clarify and focus, in the day-to-day of working in a large team, you are likely to encounter numerous issues including interruptions, pitfalls, sync-loss and more. I
