I really liked freeformatter.com . Used it all the time. To those that build, host, and serve single-function websites, that (yes) can be easily replicated with AI, I salute you. T…

Thanks! That's a great comparison. Excited to hear what you think.

Scratch uses blocks that represent programming methodologies, like a block for loops or a block for sound. Those blocks snap together and you have a sound on a loop. Code for Real …

Code for Real is a no-cost, ad-free tablet app that teaches kids to code using drag-and-drop blocks. Students can follow step-by-step tutorials to build projects like a virtual pet…

Right. Sounds more like a registrar problem than a TLD problem. They should change the article title to "Never buy a domain from Radix"

Unfortunate story. It wasn't clear to me that the .online TLD led to Google blacklisting the site. Why did you think that was connected?

Surprised to so many people showering more than once per day. For people that do that, is that due to morning showers coupled with post-activity shower?

I believe Gumroad uses Stripe to process payments, so I'd guess this entire validation process is coming from Stripe. When the CEO paid you via Zelle, he probably just wanted to he…

I'm on year 13 of running businesses of one (I built an audience development platform and an educational/fundraising platform, plus a handful of smaller ones). On the plus side, I'…

GM stock up 2.5% since the announcement, so it doesn't look like investors attributed that much of GM's future value to Cruise (or that shutting down the robotaxi development was a…

I spoke with a restaurant owner who explained to me the purpose of the "service fees" that may look like tips, but don't actually go to the waiters. The reason they do that is that…

First 5-10 clients was emails to friends of friends. Next 50-100 was cold emails. After that, mostly word-of-mouth. Target audience was publishers (audience development/growth)

I’m building a platform that helps elementary and middle schools raise money. Students answer as many math problems as they can over a week or two and ask friends and family to sup…

You don't need employees to start a company

I love it! I also built a math focused website. Schools can use it to host Math-A-Thons, which is a type of fundraiser where students answer math problems online and solicit donati…

Most manufacturers offer 10 year warranties https://comfortmonster.com/knowledge-center/guide-hvac-warra...

Congrats on sobriety and sharing some of your struggles. I remember when I first had the desire to build a business, I probably spent a month going in circles thinking about all th…

Would this problem be solved if there were bins in front of supermarkets where people could drop off their extra bags and other people could grab them if they needed them? I get th…

Not at my CVS. They have one checkout clerk, and if there are more than 3 people standing in line, it can take 10+ minutes to checkout. With self-checkout, I'm in and out in 30 sec…

Article was probably written by AI

I don't think the driving force of this change is either aesthetics or gov't policy. I think Musk is trying to maximizing Twitter's time on site and if you remove the headlines (an…

I'd be surprised if that happens in any meaningful scale. Twitter just doesn't justify that type of investment anymore.
