I thought at first that this guy was more focused on building vs shipping. And that was likely the main reason why he stopped yet another side project.
But this guy is now behind Rewind.AI so he probably knows a bit about shipping! Kudos for sharing your journey
- quickthrower2 3y agoSkimming the article I think he got caught by one of the killer issues that is worth discovering early: "Are you relying on other people's data, and can you continue to rely on it". Scraping based ideas hit this issue. Ideas that attach to a single platform API too: X (formerly Twitter) killed many startups who relied on it's API. This probably generalizes to "What are your dependencies, how risky are they?" Which then covers people who rely on SEO rankings, or a single Instagram account for their entire business.

- voiceblue 3y agoAfaict he is an employee at Rewind.AI, not a founder (which is what “is behind” makes me think, and is heavily implied by your comment).
- DeltaCoast 3y agoIt says he is a cofounder on his about page.
- voiceblue 3y agoGotcha, I must've missed that.
