Really interesting approach! I can see this being useful. How are you dealing with short/medium-term changes in consumer sentiment, I assume your model is currently fairly static? For example, the results to "Would you buy an e-bi

It might not matter to users in the sense that they ask themselves what rendering engine Chrome on iOS is using under the hood, but the effects do matter. I get a lot of support requests saying "Your [web] app is broken on my iPhone!&q

I don't think that necessarily contradicts what the author is saying. Even you describe how these top 10% performers are often underpaid, so in some areas (getting noticed, managing office politics, switching companies to get pay rises

It would be interesting to estimate what dollar value can be ascribed to a x-hour FB outage, both in terms of lost ad revenue for FB itself as well missed conversions/revenue for businesses running ads on FB/IG.

That's super interesting! I can see their study included asking to what extent the participants are experiencing certain negative/positive feelings (which may give some more context), but isn't their core measure of happiness

During such an early stage, I would do it in an "inofficial capacity" - do you have friends at other companies who work in a similar role as you? I would reach out to them and gauge their reaction, from "sounds like a neat id

It really depends on the niche and the type of the business you're planning (e.g. B2C vs. B2B, mostly service-based vs. product-based). Some of the things that have worked for me: - Using the Google Ads Keyword Research Tool to get an

As you mentioned, most people will jump right in and build a landing page / MVP to see if there's any interest, but that's a time-consuming process and I wouldn't spend any more time than necessary on something that you

Even when ignoring the clunky UI, asynchronous background calls are much slower than in the old version. In almost 80% of cases, I now get a browser alert ("Are you sure you want to navigate away? Changes will be lost") when tryin

I run IdeaCheck.io [0], a similar service. I appreciate competition, but this looks like a quickly thrown together MVP without a real product. Have a look at the graphs on the sample report [1] - it makes zero sense to present this informat

startupsfromthebottom.com looks interesting! Do you come up with the ideas yourself, or what does your process look like? What you describe (building a landing page or an MVP) is how most people do it. I would start even before that, since

I've had exactly the same experience, but I'm not sure whether the acquisition by Stripe played a role in this. There might be an advantage in having a lively community of people asking for advice if some of them are asking "

Agreed. I can fully understand Courtland's motivation to grow a community (to keep people coming back more frequently / to create engagement) and the best way to do this is putting the forum front and center, but at the moment, th

A lot of people will suggest building a landing page / MVP to gauge initial interest, but I would start even before that: Don't spend any more time than necessary on something that you don't even know is actually viable. Howe

When you make a reasonable effort to block access to EU users, EU citizens aren't covered under GDPR if they happen to access your site from a non-EU country temporarily: "This won't apply to every U.S. business — just the on

The pricing is actually cheaper than "bare" geolocation APIs, which don't do the blocking-part. Have a look at https://ipstack.com/product for example. If you get a quote from an experienced data protection l

That's of course possible, but shouldn't matter: When you make a reasonable effort to block access to EU users, EU citizens aren't covered under GDPR if they take active measures (through a browser plugin, for example) to cir

You're mixing up the member states' enforcement (4% of worldwide turnover or €20 million, whichever is higher) and civil suits. There are law firms that send out thousands of cease and desist letters (which is a civil action) base

You're right, not my title/submission. This is meant for companies that aren't primarily targeting EU users from a business perspective and don't want to deal with GDPR.

How a company "specifically targets its services at individuals in the EU" is not clearly defined within GDPR. Even if you just set your AdWords targeting to 'global', it might be enough to trigger this. GDPR Shield is a

Cease and desist letters from predatory law firms are a very real thing, even in Europe. In Germany, entire law firms have been established for the sole purpose of collecting out-of-court settlement fees for small mistakes in websites'
