I’ve been IF for a while now, and it’s the easiest approach to “putting down the fork.” Rather than continuing on a standard eating schedule, simply skipping a meal or going longer between eating actually creates a new habit rather than try

True. Delivery drivers consistently deliver to my neighbor instead of myself. The last three digits of our addresses are 885 and 855, and they consistently confuse the two. They’re tired, overworked, underpaid, and I honestly don’t blame th

Learning about the mind and controlling it better has been a recent passion of mine as well. Like you, I’ve noticed a direct connection between media consumption and quality of life. Namely, if I get a dopamine release with minimal to no ef

AFAIK ACH is incredibly archaic. There are real reasons why money can’t transfer outside of business hours. It’s honestly bizarre to me.

I’m absolutely, unequivocally, happiest at my job when I’m simply making things better. I loathe building new features, adding new functionality, starting yet another product launch, etc. Yet it feels like 80% of my time at my job is doing

Could you elaborate for those of us not in the know?

Yeah I agree the landing page should contain a clearer input-output example for new users. I’m just lazy :). On the topic of lazy, the privacy policy was generated using some random free privacy policy generator (I forgot which one).

Interesting. The APY on savings accounts is only 4.15%. The spread between that and short term T bills is over 1%. My main HYSA is paying me 5.30% APY currently, and they aren’t complaining. A 1-1.5% spread on customer cash should be celebr

I feel like I’ve purchased direct from business at much cheaper rates than what were listed on Amazon. Is it possible the loophole here is to provide discount codes at checkout for “20% off” on website only, and now magically it’s cheaper t

There’s a difference between freedom of speech and education. The government did a bad thing. Anyone should be allowed to speak their piece. We need more people to speak up when those speaking the loudest are wrong, uneducated, and unqualif

Exactly. If you really want to send some weird shit in the mail, you can do it without linking your phone number and payment information to it.

Haha yep. These bad actors exist everywhere though. If they choose to abuse, they’ll pay $2.99 per abuse to do it.

Simplicity. People text photos to each other all the time, but don’t always use web apps or mobile apps. Text messages are baked into everyone’s phones already. No apps to download, or websites to visit and log into. It’s just there, and yo

Fair point. My current target market is people able to send via a text message. This actually used to have a Messenger app, but the maintenance to spam ratio was too much for something I’m not interested in babysitting. Maybe I’ll add Whats

Yeah, I really like Lob. They work well for doing what they say they’ll do. I don’t think I’ve had a mishap yet. Any time there has been an issue, it’s been user error.

You’re not missing anything, aside from the fact i didn’t build this to be a high margin, cash flowing business. It’s just fun, nothing more :). My margins cover my costs, and that’s good enough for me. Everything is automated, and all data

Great catch, thank! I’ll push a fix and a test shortly.
