Quitting my full-time job to pursue my side-projects was the best thing I could have done for my health and sanity this year. I am now working on a bunch of ideas that I hope will help some people around here: 1. A Pocket-to-Kindle service that syncs (almost) instantly to your Kindle whatever article you save, formats it like a professionally edited book, cleans up ads and takes advantage of the new typesetting engin…

I just recently joined Spotify. I have found their "we will play similar music after your music ends" feature to enable me to discover lots of new artists. I find it interesting you found Spotify lacking here, because I am finding the opposite.

I found it ate so much data that I had to turn it off :/

I let a close friend recruit me, after over a year of trying, and have been working on a new project that took on a life of its own. I've been more productive and happy in the past few months than I have been in years. 2017 was the best year ever. Before that, so was 2016, etc., every year better than the last. 2018, I'm sure, will be another new all-time high.

I agree! I love this feature. It's so good that I sometimes don't even notice that my music ended.

Lambda School - a rigorous, live online computer science education that’s free until you’re hired. https://LambdaSchool.com/computer-science

Started as a side project in January, and I had no idea it would take off like this. We now have 20 employees, including instructors from Google, Apple, Blizzard, etc. and our first graduating students are getting hired for great salaries all over the US. (Average is $85,000 in low cost of living areas)

We’ve been working on a mobile app that helps people connect locally to conversations. https://imgur.com/a/lJnLe

We would love to get a few early adopters and happy to pay people for their contributions.

If you value connectivity, commerce & trade we would love to work with you

I launched two projects. 1) http://instant10-k.com/ An efficient way to search 10-k and 10-q filings for publicly listed companies. A Form 10-K is an annual report required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that gives a comprehensive summary of a company's financial performance. 10-Q is the quarterly version. If you have ever purchased an individual stock you should read the 10-k and 10-Q reports.…

Interesting, how is instant10-k different from EDGAR Fast Search[0]?
