https://www.chartjs.org/ It's pretty easy to configure and understand. It's the 80/20 principal of charts, it is 80% of D3 functionality for 20% the effort.

You failed because you didn't follow instructions. I can empathize with this - I too went to college, and was very annoyed by stupid instructions. I thought upon graduating, I would be free to basically do what I want. What a rude awak

It's not just you - this is widespread. I run a SaaS to help site owners get their content indexed. We're seeing an influx of users, I think a lot of the issue is simply because of AI. New web page additions were pretty linear ove

Marketing is more important than product. MVP doesn't need to be perfect, but the core product should work. Get it in users hands ASAP, get feedback ASAP, or see no traction and move on, ASAP

Most of my internet dollars in the past have come from ads and affilates on various blogs I run. My first real "somebody paying me for my product" dollar, came in January of this year. I launched IndexGuru - solves a super common

You can airdrop now if the phone is an iPhone and the laptop is a MacBook of some sort. I also am a sucker for notes, I use the native apple notes, but this probably works for any syncing note client - Just add the link in notes - Open note

This is one of those topics where I knowingly bury my head in the sand - at this point, I'm in too deep, I don't even want to know.

I think Upwork is a terrible experience, but also, it's a pretty safe starting point. It's where most potential clients are. You just need to undervalue your services a bit, bid low, get some good reviews. You do this for a month

This is my domain - I run a website for freelancers to share their hourly and project level earnings, kinda like a levels.fyi or a glassdoor but for freelancers. In my experience collecting this kind of information, it is actually in the in

Outlive. It will not only help improve your odds of living longer, it will make those later years "better". Better as in, instead of being wheeled around a retirement home, you will be limber and able to live on your own, much lon

Thanks! It's definitely a valid point. We do get a lot of made up, totally BS data from people doing exactly what you're suggesting. It's usually obvious though and we filter it out. Nothing gets added to the primary DB witho

How are you feeling morale-wise with the company? I've been seeing a lot of negative sentiment around Airbnb as of late, a total transformation compared to what I've seen in years prior. Before - airbnb is awesome, it's cheap

I run CRFYI, a site that basically operates like levels.fyi or glassdoor but tailored specifically to freelance/consulting rates. I'd encourage you to check out some of the submissions on the site to see what people are doing when

Security isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If you think about the timelessness of war - how those creating weapons always seem to profit, it's kind of like that. Basically an internet defense soldier, and the demand right now is

Yeah, big time. It's faster, so crawlers give you better scores for page speed, which is important. Secondly, it automatically renders all of your content, vs if you dynamically load content, the crawler may just see a page with a &quo

Bruh! I love this site. You absolutely could put ads here, in a way that isn't annoying. I guarantee you that there are game shops out there that would pay you like $10k minimum to "Feature" their game for a month or somethin

I'm curious to learn more about your outreach process, and finding sponsors for your newsletter. Always seems like such a grind - how do you find them? How do you ask them? How do you determine what is a fair rate for sponsorship, etc?

https://www.contractrates.fyi/ Crowdsourced rate sharing, like Glassdoor or levels.fyi, but for freelancers. Launch was meh, but fortunately have been getting a lot of usage through other channels.

Did you do any validation before building this? Does anybody want it? I just feel like "AI generated business advice" is so generic and I probably wouldn't pay for it. It would need to be somehow curated to my specific busine

I feel burned out from my job all of the time. Believe it or not, the best way for me to zone work out is to work.. on my own stuff. If you feel like you're stuck at worth, it's pretty therapeutic to feel productive on things outs
