Building algorithmic trading models. So far results continue to be good with every model outperforming the market on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis since going live.

I’m working on an Anki Addon that streamlines the hell out of the card generation process using LLMs. You can define a schema of prompts for your note type & fields, where each prompt can reference other fields, and use it to generate things like translations, example sentences, mnemonics, for tens of thousands of cards in batches or in the fly as they’re reviewed. These generated fields can reference other generated…

This is really nice! I couldn’t find it in your feature set and maybe it is there, but I am looking for a way to do Anki card reviews without looking at the screen.

The other day I was on a 6h solo road trip and thought how useful it would have been if I could just open Anki on my phone and do my daily reviews without direct interaction. With a combination of TTS/STT and some background noise reduction this would be a neat feature: card appears, word/sentence is spoken, I have 60s for a response which is evaluated and automatically rated, then repeat. Maybe also find a way to keep the screen black to prevent distraction.

I got so upset with Docusign being too expensive and unfair, that I quit my last startup to build a new one. I built a complete platform over the past 3 years, that doesn't require a subscription and you only pay for what you send. Give it a go if you need to send a document that needs to be signed. https://goodsign.io

The site is quite broken on mobile Safari:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I have been looking for something like this, but the pricing is too high for my use case. It needs to be comparable to just printing the document and signing with pens, or it's not generally worth it to me. It seems wild to me that something that in principal could be basically free costs so much.

I generally sign my documents using macOS’s built in Preview app. I guess I pay for it when I purchase a MacBook but I get a whole lot more value. What do web apps like DocuSign offer that Preview doesn’t?

Preview works great for one people signing. Not so helpful for people sending. GoodSign helps businesses to make sure that when the send a contract it does get signed and they don't forget about it (GoodSign keeps reminding you to sign). It allows two different people to sign at the same time and it doesn't matter what order. The document is saved forever, securely so you don't lose it.

I'm using safari all the time. Gah yes - appreciate the screenshots. I'll get that sorted tonight, I've recently rolled those two section out and missed checking it for mobile. Doh... The joys of solo development.

I'm working on pivots.fyi ( https://pivots.fyi/ ). It tracks 1000+ startups that have been founded in the last 3 years and showcases how their product, mission, team size, founders, etc. evolve week over week. It is interesting to see how quickly early stage startups pivot. Looking for feedback/suggestions about how I can make this more useful.

I wish i could see which ones became big in the past 3 years based on profit
