With all due respect to your work, somehow I never understood the "t-shirt" startup idea. We live in a world where there are many problems to tackle in health, science, government and politics, yet I've seen dozens of attempts at these t-shirt startups.
I do not mean to discredit your work, that being said.
- Falling3 13y agoProbably because the OP was able to create this in a weekend or less in hopes of generating some passive income. That really doesn't compare to any problem (trivial or otherwise) in the areas you mentioned.
- increment_i 13y agoIt was explicitly stated that it was a weekend attempt at generating passive income. OP wasn't exactly setting out to free Tibet here...
