This is why we do MVPs and quick validation. Many ideas fail, and we want them out of our way rapidly so we can find the right one

I work remotely for a few companies that are based in Chicago
Would love to be a part of the group in case mutual opportunities show up

It’s worth at least six figures, especially if you build it out more
If you’re able to create a scheduling UX that looks more like hypefury or buffer (where you just have timeslots to push to)
I’d definitely pay 20/mo and I know others would too

Mfs have validated with a quick google doc that represents the product they’re about to build
Just make sure people want it and in your flavor

Thanks for the reference, I’ll take a read in a few
What if you’re using the attention economy (and algorithms thereof) to spread a message you’re truly passionate about
Would that change your feelings?

And imo most people are focused on the wrong thing anyway
The majority of people I know need to focus on who their audience is, how to speak to them, and where to find them
Most people just run ads or post daily about a new feature they’re building
And wonder why no one shows up

Curious what your revenue is for XR to date?
And if it’s lower than you want, what do you think needs to be different?

Do you ever get worried that, in your search for the thing you most desire, you might become just like the other companies that you feel “don’t care about users or
Employees”?

The majority of devs launching their own thing would benefit from this
Validate fast, adjust to feedback, and stop waiting for it to be perfect

I’m not sure I’d share anything on storytelling
But I would share
4000 weeks
As the book every human should read. And it uses great storytelling to get the point across

I’ve been working with an AI got that is a life coach and I’d describe it as terribly “loving”
I think it depends on who’s using it and how

Makes sense to me
I always thought the motion cost was pretty damn high, and it was buggy when I used it
Looking forward to seeing what you build!

Nice! How does it differ from Motion app and SunsamaHQ?
Just curious on differentiation

Regret is a frame of mind
Did you make the decision you thought was right at the time, or did you do something knowing it was wrong
If you made the right choice for the time, then you lived the life you wanted to live

Great IDE - just don’t write as much php these days and don’t wanna pay for a license

I write the idea down and explore it a bit.
But take it from me, you’ll always have new ideas - especially when you hit the hard parts of a project
I get around this by making a time commitment to each project.
Like “I will work on Project X for at least the next three months before switching”

Lead with the benefits - but depending on your price point, you probably need a feature list too
Prioritize benefits first for sure, but if you’re in a competitive arena - you probably need both

Sorry to hear about your dad
I lost mine ten years ago (I was 25) and it changes your outlook dramatically losing a parent so young
You learn what’s important to you very quickly

I enjoyed atom for a bit
I was doing a bunch of PHP, so I was using JetBrains PHPStorm for the longest

I see you’re doing some EdTech work. Most of my wife’s family is in education, so it’s cool to see innovation here

What if you’re subscription based? I’ve seen a lot of people give good breaks on annual subscriptions, locking in folks for more than they probably would have paid monthly
+ if they stick for a year, they likely renew at full price
