- hartator 13y agoSorry, I have made some corrections. (English is my second language) Do you see anything else?
- keithpeter 13y agoYou are communicating a difficult lesson very well. Do you want me to copy-edit the text? I can do this later Wednesday evening (UK time zone)?
- oncletom 13y agoAre you proposing to copy-edit the blog post? If so, this is kind and much appreciated :-) If you have a GitHub account you can directly edit the content through the following URL, and propose your changes. > https://github.com/oncletom/oncletom.io/blob/master/source/_posts/2014/why-our-startup-failed.md https://github.com/oncletom/oncletom.io/blob/master/source/_...
- keithpeter 13y agoNo git account so will just post it here. No major issues with your communication, just obviously not English as first language.
- keithpeter 12y agoOK, here is the first 40% of my (light) edit of the original post. This took about 90 minutes which is longer than I thought it would. The rest can be done Sunday... OP: is this too far from your inner voice, what you intended? Is the edit worth finishing? I'm having to link to the text file as HN says the 1200 word extract is too long.

I just used two plain text editor windows side by side and it was clunky.
