Really interesting approach! I can see this being useful. How are you dealing with short/medium-term changes in consumer sentiment, I assume your model is currently fairly static? …

It might not matter to users in the sense that they ask themselves what rendering engine Chrome on iOS is using under the hood, but the effects do matter. I get a lot of support re…

I don't think that necessarily contradicts what the author is saying. Even you describe how these top 10% performers are often underpaid, so in some areas (getting noticed, managin…

By turning it into a nearly-useless system. You can only engage Mercedes' system if a number of conditions are all met: - The route has to have been pre-mapped by Mercedes - Only w…

It would be interesting to estimate what dollar value can be ascribed to a x-hour FB outage, both in terms of lost ad revenue for FB itself as well missed conversions/revenue for b…

That's super interesting! I can see their study included asking to what extent the participants are experiencing certain negative/positive feelings (which may give some more contex…

During such an early stage, I would do it in an "inofficial capacity" - do you have friends at other companies who work in a similar role as you? I would reach out to them and gaug…

It really depends on the niche and the type of the business you're planning (e.g. B2C vs. B2B, mostly service-based vs. product-based). Some of the things that have worked for me: …

As you mentioned, most people will jump right in and build a landing page / MVP to see if there's any interest, but that's a time-consuming process and I wouldn't spend any more ti…

Even when ignoring the clunky UI, asynchronous background calls are much slower than in the old version. In almost 80% of cases, I now get a browser alert ("Are you sure you want t…

> Very classy of you to post this kind of biased and offensive comment. I don't know how my comment was "biased and offensive", I even said I liked the approach in general? I point…

I run IdeaCheck.io [0], a similar service. I appreciate competition, but this looks like a quickly thrown together MVP without a real product. Have a look at the graphs on the samp…

startupsfromthebottom.com looks interesting! Do you come up with the ideas yourself, or what does your process look like? What you describe (building a landing page or an MVP) is h…

I've had exactly the same experience, but I'm not sure whether the acquisition by Stripe played a role in this. There might be an advantage in having a lively community of people a…

Agreed. I can fully understand Courtland's motivation to grow a community (to keep people coming back more frequently / to create engagement) and the best way to do this is putting…

Thanks, aalhour, let me know if you have any questions!

A lot of people will suggest building a landing page / MVP to gauge initial interest, but I would start even before that: Don't spend any more time than necessary on something that…

When you make a reasonable effort to block access to EU users, EU citizens aren't covered under GDPR if they happen to access your site from a non-EU country temporarily: "This won…

There are many ways to achieve this goal, I just wanted to provide a drop-in solution that's independent of the underlying infrastructure.

The pricing is actually cheaper than "bare" geolocation APIs, which don't do the blocking-part. Have a look at https://ipstack.com/product for example. If you get a quote from an e…

That's of course possible, but shouldn't matter: When you make a reasonable effort to block access to EU users, EU citizens aren't covered under GDPR if they take active measures (…
