Are you a PM at Retool?

I find myself strangely drawn to dystopian aesthetic. There’s something deeply moving about them.

This is great. I think visual tools like this are under utilized. They’re fun to use and can often reveal interesting insights.

Feels like the first company to study is Amazon. They are super customer focused and they have actual content out there you can find where they talk about it in detail and what it …

I love this thread! Relevant to this, I'm the Founder of a very early startup called Junto where we help people learn soft skills via audio courses. I've found soft skills to be ab…

Hi there, a friend and I are very excited to release a new education course we've created for instrumenting product analytics. We’ve both been building digital products for some ti…

http://www.get-jumper.com/ A way to motivate people (including myself) to exercise with a chat bot that tracks your progress. Originally built it to track how often I worked out, a…

This looks super interesting. I built out a spreadsheet of (very rough) projected financials for a business I was considering trying that was going to do something very similar; es…

Hi there, I work for Keen IO. The AutoCollector SDK was fixed early this morning. Version 1.0.8 no longer sends password fields in plaintext. If you upgrade your version to 1.0.8 y…

I came to the comments section to post this exact comment. This is a hugely impactful change! Super happy to see this land.

Thanks so much! Honestly, I think I'm more excited about the landing page than I am the chatbot at times haha. I built it using http://tachyons.io and I'm not sure I've ever had mo…

This sort of stuff is really interesting to me. I think any app/service can use ML though, it doesn't have to be a chatbot. I'm actually surprised we aren't already seeing more of …

So the "friction" conversation about a product like this is pretty interesting imo. One one hand, the bot is easy to get started with: Almost everyone already has the software (ass…

No kidding - happy to hear some feedback about how well those actually work. I've been wondering.

No unlimited plans from Twilio, unfortunately. https://www.twilio.com/sms/pricing Maybe another SMS service offers that? If so, I'd certainly consider SMS again.

I use Zwift as well! It makes indoor riding nearly fun! (so long as you have a decent bike trainer, of course). Ultimately there are no magic bullets, you have to do the exercise. …
