Ask HN : is there something of _incredible_ value that we're really missing on because of a lack of marketing ?
I'm more pessimistic. I think the reason we're not drowning in great stuff is that there isn't that much great stuff, and it does not stay in the shadow for very long.
And that's okay ! The proverbial "99% of everything being crap" is a feature, not a bug ; producing lots of different stuff and being able to label it as "crap" is the only way to organically find good stuff, eventually.
Still, what do you think we're really missing ? What is John Carmack thinking about when writing this tweet ?
But if you know of an hidden gem, I'm interested !
- simonw 4y agoI think my project https://datasette.io/ https://datasette.io/ could be incredibly useful to a wide variety of people who haven't heard about it yet. I found myself nodding when I saw Carmack's tweet precisely because I'm finding myself at a point where my time may well be better spent marketing what I've already built rather than continuing to improve the product.
