Since the start of the summer I have been building a SaaS for companies doing inspections and maintenance on separators, a certain kind of device for cleaning water used in gas stations, restaurants, garages etc. I have been dreaming of living on my own product since I started as a developer 10 years ago and tried a lot of different ideas out but it just wasn't happening. When I found out that my girlfriend was pregn…
I’m building a hostingplatform for fully managed Wordpress sites. By managed I mean both the WP install, but also plugins, themes and other customizations. I have a customer who does marketing, SoMe, SEO and all that (as a small business for other small to medium businesses) but it turns out she spends a lot of time dealing with tech issues from WP sites (plugin update errors, other tech issues the hosting provider d…

Hell, I remember last year's Christmas Cookies piece, which was just this lovely immersive slideshow of tight high resolution videos of different stages of the cookie making process and just thinking "this is just _good_ content."
But this stuff is also powerful because of its ability to inform people in a way visually that more traditional text and even older illustrative modalities would've fallen short with. This deep-dive, guided tour, expando-driven approach is just... awesome. Keep up the great work!

What country? How much do you anticipate needing to start it? Do you have experience in hospitality?
Turkey. On the coast in a small resort town. 200k per key with 15 rooms. I have no prior experience but what I do have is a business plan and a local partner. I’m networking with people who are in hospitality and working with a consultant to assist with due diligence. I’m moving there to supervise operations.

I work in tech for public media and am it's almost disheartening to know what kind of resources other publications have. We have people spread across everything at once. Do you work for the technology department or for the editorial department?
1) it helps to be the biggest
2) it helps to have rabid boosters with reputational stakes themselves, like Edward Tufte.
3) the tech group maintains the framework, but each section owns their own section layouts.
4) the tech group made a big splash ... eh, sometime between 2005 and 2009 if I recall, with a very early progressive framework. I wish I could recall the details, but it was spicy when it first landed, like "Wow, that's genius, and it looks so good."
