Thanks for the quick answer! Follow-up around this as it's a space I'm actively working in: did you use or build any tools for the labeling process, or was it Excel? :D Also, do you ultimately see/position your solution as

2 years ago some friends and I started writing one song each per week (and met every Thursday to listen to our respective master-pieces ). We mostly ended up composing and recording the songs on iphones the Wednesday night before (thank go

Agreed - we've built extensions for Chrome, Firefox, IE & Safari ; Firefox and IE are on the same level with regards to debugging, that is : not pleasant. It's a shame because browser extensions have great potential : I'm increasingly

A few months ago, I started a projet with a few friends, whereby we commit to each writing and recording one original song per week, then meet on thursday to listen to everyone's creations and critique. As far as I am concerned, this experi

Not really. YCombinator invests < 25,000$ for < 10% stakes in early-stage startups, some of them already showing traction and revenue. To kill Hollywood, you'd need to invest 1000x that, for projects that are be contrast much risk

There are a subset of applications that imo could rely exclusively on email as the platform. A few months ago I built such an app, a small side-project called betabrokers(email trade@betabrokers.com with subject:about to signup and learn mo
