thank you. I've been here for around 8 years. it is a huge motivator to hear positive feedback from scientists/lab managers about how we help them find more time to focus on their research. that alone is a major factor in what keeps me going.

I’m the engineering director at Quartzy (YC S11). We’re focusing on making research more efficient through the laboratory supply room. We help labs through a group buying experience to avoid waste, and offer discounts to their contract prices by working directly with manufacturers.
This isn’t the most obvious way to make an impact, but we’ve effectively saved many labs thousands of dollars on equipment and consumables that can then be reallocated toward their research. Our mission is to increase the efficiency of scientific research — the supply room is just the beginning.
>increase the efficiency of scientific research — the supply room is just the beginning.
Efficiency is often compromised institutionally, so I know this is an obstacle.
I've got a lifetime of business models for scientific software, but that wasn't the question above.
One way to accelerate many types of laboratory research would be to offer a workflow alternative where very high performance individuals can make the choice to spend almost all their working time at the bench(es) rather than being distracted or sitting down at desks or office & lab computers. While maintaining overall leadership of the organization, so this requires a different type of team structure as it scales.
That way someone who can really invent a lot doesn't get bogged down by the bureaucracy of their earlier inventions.
I have been a long time user of Tower, and am supportive of and maintain annual subscriptions for several pieces of software that are essential to my workflow. I am a software developer and I understand the need for a subscription model for certain applications and businesses. There is not a single application on my computer I have not happily paid for a license fee or subscription to if required.
I will not be purchasing a subscription for Tower. This model does not make sense for this application.
I agree with this but I think the price is a bit high (I bought it, because I like it).
I don't feel like I got a lot of value for the money because Tower 2 was so great, and I had to pay more to use Bitbucket Server. Hopefully, new features will change my mind on this.
Stuff you can't do:
- Add reviewers to pull requests
- Approve pull requests
This is the main new features so its a bit disappointing to not be able to do this. I find the UI for PRs to be a bit hard too, compared with the rest of the app.
