    I'm doing this with my son. Dcflagproject.com Replit for the website (he did the first 80%), Gemini to make the flyers and he'll be walking the neighborhood and talking to neighbor…

    It's called foreplay. Jk. I've seen a glass shower where the glass turned to smoked opaque glass with the push of a button. Maybe this shower had something similar? But this is no …

    I sent an email - excited to see what you've got.

    If you want to make a kids app... Forcing the child to do a number of math problems to continue using the tablet would be an amazing app that I would definitely pay for. My daughte…

    My current 'favorite idea I probably won't build' is an sms chat bot that does exactly this for guys in their 30s & 40s. The hard part is actually organizing the group of friends t…

    Not a great joke. Instapaper was really the first one that was read it later. I thought they just it down, but I just switched to Android and Instapaper is (maybe was) only iPhone.…

    I built a side project during COVID and after. I started recording videos explaining everything that's happening in the world for my kids to watch in 20 years. Then I wanted to cap…

    I was a user for so long I used to call this app instapaper.

    Is this kind of like AI audience capture?

    I think a penny is about the right price. What are the other options and how are those working? 50 percent of email is spam and Gmail has had to create multiple invoices to segment…

    How do you track and save these numbers? Manually or programmatically?

    I think it's a little overstated to call tcr a cartel. Yes, it's a process, but it's gotten a lot better over the last 18 months. People have been complaining about spam text for a…

    I think things could also 'creep' in the other direction where the group communication becomes overwhelming. The article mentions that someone actually sold an item through the Wha…

    I'm sure it's on your list, but I think it would be helpful if I could click into the timeline in order to add an event/period of my life. I think there could be a really cool inte…

    The first book I thought about from this prompt is The Fountainhead. It's fiction and was written in the 1940's, but is very relevant to modern times. Very well written and in my o…

    Aren't they doing a 12 days of Christmas thing where they release new features for 12 days? This would fit into that idea. I was thinking earlier today that an agent listening to m…

    This book really nails it. If you're selling for any startup or fast-growing company this book will have insights.

    You can feel ok about replying STOP to text messages from shortcodes. It's not impossible, but it would be an extremely bad process for an organization to have their OTP and their …

    There are cheaper and less risky ways to understand if a number is valid. STOP will legitimately unsubscribe the recipient from messages from this phone number.

    Comment #41703786

    Text messages don't have an "open" action. Replying STOP will unsubscribe the recipient from future SMS from this number. I have never seen an organization use an unsubscribe as a …

    How would you drip the assets out in the future? What's the mechanism and how would it trigger (in the event of your unfortunate or unexpected demise)?

    During the pandemic I started recording videos for my young kids. I imagine they will watch them when they are 25 years old. I think it will be cool to see the young me (then) and …
