    The usual suggestions I’ve read about are to disable the “always on” display, disable WiFi and/or cellular, turn down the brightness, limit notifications, and so forth. However, I …

    Don’t forget the $1 surcharge for the lactose-intolerant! With coffee, non-milk substitute, and tax, a latte can run me nearly $8 :(

    The article subheading states: Airbnb needed an East Coast home. Why particularly an east coast home vs. just another home? What's the strategic benefit of the east coast in partic…

    Looks nice and clean from what I can see. Congratulations on the launch. Taking a look at the Product Hunt landing page and the main home page, I don't see any pricing except for t…

    I'm loath to mention this, but although I assume the use of "tard" in the name is to signify delay, some might be sensitive to that term.

    Interesting concept. I tried it out and got the 'We've sent an email to foo@example.com with a confirmation link.' message. It's been about 5 minutes and I still haven't received t…

    Looks great! I know it should have been more obvious, but I didn't realize the text was editable. I was looking for an 'upload your code' button. Maybe put one of those "Try Me!" b…

    Yes. The origin of idea is the easy part. Personally, I procrastinate starting a product/service because I feel that I have to have an amazing idea before I get started. (There's n…
