Shortly after this book came out, my wife and I read it together and a few months later, formed a studio to make a game together. She's the writer. I'm the creative director. Launc…

Built this tool as a personal passion/side project last year along with a couple Seattle friends. It's now got 3K+ folks tracking their name/brand/interests for free and ~150 payin…

Unusual that an interview captures such a nuanced take, but I appreciate both Ward's pragmatism and his sadness around the death of human-created art. Grateful for the submission.

Just wanted to say this is wonderful work, timely for a couple of my companies, and I love seeing stuff like it posted to HN.

Deeply curious to know if this is an outlier opinion, a mainstream but pessimistic one, or the general consensus. My LinkedIn feed and personal network certainly suggests that it's…

Thought it was great. Thanks for writing and submitting!

Just wanted to say thanks for the submission. I never would have found this story otherwise, and it's both a powerful read and especially relevant to a close friend—she was one of …

While many of the images were low resolution or just strange icon graphics, and the text felt like AI-slop, the core concept is great. Hope you keep making progress on this.

"Make sure your hook is glowingly radioactively good. Don't overbalance. Leave in some jank. Scope down and finish quickly. And avoid tropes. Stand out." Sounds like outstanding ad…

Incredible work, Brian! I'm in awe of what you've done in such a short amount of time. I started an indie game company (still working on our first title) and had a few related ques…

I love this concept for a thread. Here are a few people my startups have worked with that I can vouch for: Asia Orangio of DemandMaven - customer research and SaaS product position…

+1 for Threads - I'm shocked at how good the engagement is there, and how kind the community is (generally) too

VERY much like this part: "integrates directly into your GitHub workflow, transforming Figma designs into deployable code and understanding your entire codebase." Getting on the wa…

I think that's a very standard VC line I've encountered in the startup world, but the stats just don't bear it out. Pick any software business - productivity tools, marketing, data…

Couldn't agree more. It's cool to be profitable, to grow slowly and with intention, to create a good experience for founders, employees, and customers, to build something that last…

Yup. Ditto here. I'm a "Zebra" style founder (as in Zebras not Unicorns) and love what TinySeed's doing. My wife and I are LPs in TinySeed, too. Really sad that Indie.vc's LPs were…

Love this Nialna - thanks for sharing, and for making a demo for us non-devs to explore, too :-)

Disco Elysium really nails late stage capitalism.

+1 for April. She recommends against a lot of what's in this First-round article, and I think that's wise. This feels like an out-of-date business school primer, which is unusual f…
