• TurboTax’s Fight Against Free Tax Filing

  There is https://ustaxes.org , an open-source tax filing application, but I'm not adventurous enough to use it when a mistake could be very expensive. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Are there any tax prep websites/software that compare between filing married jointly vs separately, without needing to re-input all the info? (USA)

  The ustaxes.org site generates all the results on your computer or mobile with no data exchanged with our servers. If you like you can also download a desktop build of it at github.com/ustaxes/releases. Source: about 2 years ago

• FTC Sues Intuit for Its Deceptive Turbotax “Free” Filing Campaign

  I'm working with other contributors on https://ustaxes.org, an open source tax filing webapp https://github.com/ustaxes/UsTaxes. Currently, many Federal tax forms are supported, as well as tax filing for the state of Illinois. Filing for Oregon and California is under development! - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How does TurboTax get away with dark patterns?

  There are a couple of open source projects like http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ and https://ustaxes.org/ ; perhaps we should support these to get to the point where they can actually replace TurboTax and H&R. I bet the laws are unnecessarily complicated and they probably continue to get more complicated due to Intuit's lobbying but opposing that is a much more expensive proposition than supporting an open... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How to embed a web application into another website via API?

  I am trying to create an application that will work on a customer's website. Much like tawk.to or intercom.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Here's how I'd figure out the go-to-market for a Customer Support SaaS

  My way of doing marketing starts with figuring out what my overall project will (or will not) be. In this case, I looked at the vendors like Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, or Help Scout. They all have whizbang features such as live-chat, collaboration stuffs, automations and workflows. They bill per contact and addons. I’d emphasize a straightforward, fuss-free angle instead.

• Chat widget with react.js

  I wanted to know the best practices of developing a widget. So I went through the popular implementations of it. I liked Intercom's widget very much. It is written in React. I analyzed how it works. The minimal javascript is loaded async on the webpage. It is injecting an iframe with id intercom-frame. That iframe has a script in it's head with a source URl. Obviously it is React bundle. Source: about 2 years ago

• What PRODUCT TOUR software do you like for an early SaaS?

  If you're looking at it to guide new users through onboarding, Intercom is pretty good. Source: over 2 years ago
