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!

By -

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 Web...

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. ...

Blogging Platform For Tech Teams: Blogger vs Wordpress vs Medium vs Squarespace vs rest

In 2018, it's important for every business to have a blog. This is especially true for online tech businesses such as eCommerce, SaaS, eLearning etc. The more you blog, the more visitors you'll get. And in the online world, more visitors usually translates to more revenue. At Polydojo, our a tiny team of developers is taking on the slightly ambitious challenge of helping organizations set up workflows for reliably executing recurring business processes. While we've always meant to pay more attention to our blog, it hasn't quite worked out that way. Don't Re-Invent The Wheel So far, we were using a home-grown solution for publishing blog posts. As the blogging software wasn't our primary solution, we couldn't devote enough time to sprucing up the frontend CSS. The whole thing looked like something from the 1990s. We always meant to improve it, but get to it. As engineers, we often tend to have the 'I can build anything' attitude. This i...
