[CA] Why don’t Canadian startups seem focused on solving real local problems?

What do you guys think about startups in Canada?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see a very strong movement of startups trying to solve real local problems. And when I say startups, I mean actual early-stage startups — not companies with 100 employees and a billion dollars in funding already.

[CA] Do Canadian small businesses typically place orders via SMS, WhatsApp, email, or another app?

Hi everyone,

I'm researching how small businesses in Canada usually communicate with suppliers when placing orders or reordering products.

Do business owners commonly use:

  • SMS/text messages
  • WhatsApp
  • Email
  • Phone calls
  • Online ordering portals
  • Other apps

I'm especially interested in understanding which communication channels are most convenient and most frequently used for repeat orders.

If you own a small business or work closely with one, what method do you personally prefer and why?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Pentest 0800 para quem ta subindo SAAS no vibe codding

Para quem esta construindo SAAS um dica e usar o https://www.zaproxy.org/
Ele nao testa 100%, claro, mas ele ja passa um bom pente fino em algumas vulnerabilidades.
Obs.: Se vc deixou um endpoint que baixa todas credenciais sem autenticacao nenhuma ele nao vai pegar, pq isso pode ser uma feature.

Tentando criar um saas baseado em whatsapp

Bem como todos sabem o whatsapp é o OS do celular do brasileirinho, sendo assim comecei a pensar em soluções que pudesssm usar esse canal de comunicacao.
A primeira coisa que esbarrei foi que twillio e gupshup cobram um fee por msgs, eu realmente nao queria partir para as gambiarras que existem por ai, entao pensei, ue pq nao integrar direto com a Meta, eu ja tinha uma experiecia previa com API de whatsapp.
To naquela fase de aprovacao do parceiro, e praticamente a mesma buracracia de um cartorio.
Tudo que vc envia nao aprova sem muita justificativa, os nomes dos numeros nao sao aprovados....

Mesmo assim, estamos no caminho, em breve trago novidades do que estou fazendo.

Why isn’t WhatsApp widely used in Canada?

In Brazil, we use WhatsApp for almost everything — talking to friends, family, and businesses. I noticed that this doesn’t seem as common in Canada. Why is that? What apps or communication methods do you usually prefer?

All I could hear in my head while filming this was the The Office Theme.

Hi everyone, I’m looking into building a practical app or SaaS for the Canadian market and would love to hear from people living in Canada.

What is a frustrating, repetitive, or expensive problem you deal with in daily life, work, housing, healthcare, immigration, taxes, small business, or government paperwork that you think could be solved better with software?

I’m especially interested in problems that are common but still poorly served by existing tools. Any examples or personal experiences would be really helpful.
