    This idea of documenting everything through the process from idea generation to publishing is very interesting. I keep thinking that these types of storyboard explainers might be u…

    This is a classic critical mass app and I'm a little skeptical right now as to if it has the legs. But then again, I thought Quora was the greatest thing since sliced bread and it …

    The categorization rankings seem pretty subjective. I read somewhere that your best bet, if possible, is to call your company what it does. If your software emails timed newsletter…

    As someone who had close interaction with Palantir through many rounds of their interview process, I can say that they do radiate a cult-likeness. The two most important points see…

    If this spreadsheet actually works, it will be a great tool. I will absolutely use it.

    It's interesting to see some concrete data about the size of the educational market for iOS - and I only see this growing in the future.
