Show HN: I made an iOS app that puts motivating quotes in your widgets
Hey HN,
I love a good daily quote for motivation and inspiration so I made this app to submit to a hackathon.
It has a quote library with thousands of quotes that you can browse and save, then turn into pretty word art using a fun little editor. Once you have a cool design you can set them as iOS widgets, export as wallpapers, social posts etc.
It also has a quote of the day feature that will send a curated quote as a notification on a schedule of your choosing.
All SwiftUI, Firebase, usual indie iOS stack.
It's fun to use and can feed you a daily dose of motivation when you need it.
Launching on Product Hunt today too if you want to support: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/quotable-3
Thanks all, Jack

Marketing in Undiffrentiated Industries – Software Outsourcing
As we're figuring out the levers of business development for my software outsourcing startup (based in Hong Kong), we'd love it if you can tell me about your sales outreach and lead generation process (preferably in detail). We don't have years of experience in the industry to be able to draw on contacts.
To paint the picture: Personally, we've gotten 90-95% of our leads through networking at HKSTP and Cyberport (Hong Kong biggest tech incubators). Most of these projects are MVP development projects. This is not a sustainable strategy in the long run, because it is neither very profitable (since startups are usually cash-strapped) nor is it "easy" (since startups, by definition, are building new innovative one-of-a-kind things for which no playbook exists). Recently, we've begun the process of online sales generation using Facebook ads, SEO and SEM, but then again, this is a slow process and it takes time to get impressions.
Ideally, we'd like to break into mid-market and enterprise company services since that's where the money is. In fact, we've successfully built a team of almost 15 people (primarily in India). We're very good salesmen (but we lack the trust factor; maybe because we don't have Hong Kong locals in our team, since they're very expensive to hire comparatively).
Additionally, we have a few other things going for us: we're smart, young guys who exude the entrepreneurial spirit and work very well together. We're quite good at aggressive cost-cutting and bring to the table the "consultant" mentality.
So here's what I'd love to hear from you about: 1) How should we get into the circles where the real money exists and win contracts in an industry that is pretty undifferentiated. I'd ideally not like to pick a niche since we'd not like to narrow down even the most basic money making opportunities at the moment (for example website or mobile app development projects) because they're at least A source of income. 2) How do you guys do it? (if you can name drop actual technical information/links/services that you know, that'd be great).
