I couldn't agree more. I've been building something that is trying to solve this problem, an abstraction layer for code that you, your agents and co-workers can all use together. I would love the chance to talk to you and get feed

Hi, thanks! That's a great question. It is not making anybody rich, but I cover my costs and make a few hundred extra a month. I think on the order of $500+ MRR. Besides buying credits there is also a pro membership where people choose

Hi! Sorry for the late response, went to bed and forgot about this post. Thanks :) We check to make certain people aren't ranking formulaically, and if they are we invalidate their votes and ban them automatically. We also check how cl

I founded a startup based on this idea. Track purchases with credit cards and sum things up on a monthly basis. Unfortunately couldn't find a grocer to take me up on it mid pandemic, but I want to try it again in a few years if no one

Thanks for asking! The community is about 15,000 users, maybe 100-300 DAU, tests complete in as little as 10 hours for 20 ranks or up to a couple days if you have a lot of niche filters set for your rankers (age, sex, location). The best RO

I got all my friends to go on it and spent lots of time ranking people myself. I also started things off with "fake" tests so that people had other people to rank at the beginning, otherwise folks would just see a dead app and dro

I used fiverr to make assets, and then either use fiverr to make a design that I can easily build with one of the website building tools (wix, etc.) or I try to build it myself. The easiest way is to find a landing page you think looks good

No offense taken, I also have many qualms about the role looks and photos play in our society. The destruction & gamification of social interaction by tech is a genuine harm. Unfortunately it's what we're dealing with right no

Thanks for asking! I also used photofeeler and found the way it rated me 1-10 fairly harmful to my mental health. RankPic has users rank your photos best to worst, so it's just against yourself. Additionally it allows users to get more

Like.. did you read the article? Gloating about how all of America's labor and corporate leaders came together to save democracy? Such a conspiracy that citizens from opposing camps were so concerned about Trumps unfounded election lie

That's a ridiculous re-writing of history. Russia has documented interference in the election [1]. Also, most Democrats protesting not my president and stolen elections do so because Trump was elected while losing the popular vote. Rep

I disagree. For me Typescript is incredibly useful at any size. I find myself missing it while solving leet code problems. And it takes 5 minutes to set up.
