I really love the tone you have for this product. I also vibecoded a thing (much more niche-- https://peeps.biz/about ) and felt the freedom to inject my own tone on it because it's personal. These apps/services are

Man, I thought I was putting in work by doing the lessons from the book (which is INCREDIBLE) with my 1st grader…way to go above and beyond! This honestly very cool and I’m going to pass along to some of the literacy teachers in our distric

Confusing that the article has different numbers on the wealth gap than the source material: “Working-class union households hold nearly four times as much median wealth ($201,240) as the typical working-class nonunion household ($52,221),

Parent of 2 deaf children here. When our first was born, we were handed a very thick packet of information warning us that without intervention (i.e., hearing aids) our child would be at much higher risk of falling behind in school and suic

My suggestion is for a Blackberry Q10. It has 4G (so it'll last a long time), swappable batteries (very cheap), a great UI, useful functionality (calendar, notes), and a completely worthless app store.

Good idea or bad idea? Clearly there other ways to do this, but I think commodifying it _might_ be interesting? If you want to test it out for free, enter the promo TELLTHETRUTH.

Well, we were going to grade all of them on a modified AP scale and then bring the top 20-40 to a panel (journalists, teachers, etc.) and then take the highest "scoring" offer/essay from that. Still subjective, but it would a

Nomination is interesting, but what if the person nominated doesn't want the house? Then we (I'm the person who runs 150house) have gone through potentially thousands of essays for nothing. I guess it doesn't really matter, b
