I'm shocked YouTube hasn't banned them or at least designed a way for creators to integrate a sponsor segment directly into their video from the YouTube platform, without having to add it to the final cut of the video. If this exi

I have a very different perspective on coding challenges. In my last role building a startup, I WAS the employer. The results of coding challenges and the conversation that followed were the most telling about a candidates technical and rea

Precisely. I'd love that same level of virtualization but for calls.

I really like this idea, but not for the listed business use case. I don't imagine many people under 40 are likely to "hop on a quick call" to ask a question about a product that wouldn't already be handled by a standard

Thanks for bringing that to my attention! The issue should be resolved. That's what I get for being determined to design my own resume in Figma. I have a text only version as well, but I hate the idea of not having something crafted.

Really digging this idea. I've spent plenty of time trying to dig into the network tab to automate requests to a website without an API. Cool to see the process streamlined with LLMs. Wishing you all the best of luck!

Yeah... New product looks fantastic, but finding your notes will still be a pain. You have to be diligently organized with folders and notebooks to find anything.

Great idea! Are there any other sites that do something similar, allowing you to share problems or unformed business ideas?

Fair points on potentially not knowing the outgoing number. I'll have to chew on that problem for a bit. Difficult, but I don't think unsolvable. Either way, the solution I proposed is a non-ideal workaround to a better system of

Having my own extension system is interesting... I'll explore that avenue. Minimal research says that even with restrictions on certain number combinations and area codes, there should be ~5 billion possible numbers, enough to make a v

by blakeburch 2y ago
The thought process I had is that the numbers could have logic rules to rereoute to the right individual based on the number calling. For example, let's say the centralized service has a virtual number of 123-456-7890. If someone with

For video games, I'll look at OpenCritic's "202X Hall of Fame" list on a monthly basis. If something new pops up that's well rated, I'll take a look at it. YouTubers like Razbuten or VideoGameDunkey also play a

Thanks for the extra context! I was operating off of (faulty) memory with that statement. You're 100% right that it's not necessarily a sign of being in a poor financial position and that's my bad for assuming as much. From a

I actively run both a professional and personal on Meetup for the past 1.5 years. I love seeing new options show up in the space, because I do believe the tools are ripe for disruption right now and the sites where people post their events

Seconding this. We've used them for a little over a year now for heartbeats + external status dashboard. Easy platform to set up and maintain. Decent pricing.

Funny enough, I just told my wife how unique I thought it was. It stands out. It's memorable. I know I've read many of his posts over the last year because of that mustard yellow background. It's a strong branding choice.

Just tried the dental appointment example. Voice sounds great! But I found two issues with sharing: - I told it I wasn't available until next year. We confirmed a date. It said Feb 4th, next year. I asked it when next year was and it g

That's part of the reason I switched to Beautiful.ai almost 4 years ago. I hate building slides. Their tooling makes the formatting look consistent and well laid out so I can just focus on putting down the content. Not associated with

I recently switched to a flip phone in January as an experiment. My main goal was to eliminate my scrolling habits in any form of downtime, as I was becoming increasingly unhappy and noticed it was affecting my eyes negatively. Most of the

I would suggest something like [LunchMoney]( https://lunchmoney.app/ ) instead. Built in budgeting, rules to classify payments, and recurring subscriptions are automatically found and called out. I had a bunch of issues with

I think the conference format is in need of an overhaul. The only real value in their current state is networking and lead gen for vendors. Everything else is just "Blog Posts, LIVE!" Remote sessions with small gatherings in major

Logistically, it may be optimal. But from my perspective, it creates suboptimal conference experiences. Large crowds. Everything hotel/conference room smells like smoke (terrible for asthmatics). Lots of distractions that are especiall

Are you able to share the main differences between yourselves and Userflow ( https://userflow.com/ )? Watching the video looked pretty similar.

Just want to clarify - I do not think we have the solution to this problem nor do I claim that cloud services are not open source enough. Rather, I decided to take one (of many) possible avenues that I believe is more upfront and honest abo

Author here. Would love to hear what solutions you would suggest! I only mentioned those I'm aware of that I find admirable (which is not the same thing as them actually working).
