Saw this on Product Hunt before. This is a good collection of articles from high-level approach to tactical aspects of design. My favorite is "Designing for start-ups: How to deliver the message" under Introduction.

Happy to hear you found it useful! As the designer, I admit it could be more user friendly :sob: Please feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions. If you get to create your own mobile tool, I would love to check it out too.

Norway is indeed an intriguing story. Their sovereign fund is based on the fossil fuel, yet 1) their pension fund is divesting from fossil fuel 2) the sovereign fund has all kinds of ethical guidelines. You can see their exclusion list here

Why "finance (sigh)"? I'm aware HN doesn't have the highest regard for the finance industry, but I'd like to hear your perspective: What makes you not so proud of your current skills?

Kudos for their transparency. I hope this helps make it clear that the core value of doing a Kickstarter project is creating an engaged community of your fans, not making profit.
