Assholery all around, IMO. Billy is an asshole for deceiving people and breaking the SW rules of no preworked ideas allowed. Bobby is an asshole for joining a SW with the wrong mot…

Great to see more startups coming out of my native Norway. Looks like a fun app. Looking forward to see where they are going with this one.

Cool. Feel free to steal. :) I think of it as one more channel for feedback, as to not miss out on insights otherwise lost.

Interesting idea. I've experimented with putting non-functional buttons and widgets in the app and register how many tap on them versus how many who complain about it not working. …

Great insights! I guess I'm no different in that I'm probably going to be pivoting after more real market exposure and feedback. I just want to go faster forwards and believe more …
