Amazing! Curious about whether you faced an issue with latency? What if two people are concurrently editing the same item on the whiteboard with high latency?

22 year olds can also have health issues, dying friends, sick family. Not sure how "mid life" is an "issue", per se? All I'm saying is, all things considered, building a business is hard regardless of what age you a

I think that's just a smart aphorism. What if I love starting companies, but nothing is working out? It has to be a mix of both?

While you state it in a more rational way, many of the responses dismiss what OP has to say just because he is 22. As somebody who is 22 as well—everybody is facing a struggle here. The market does not care that we are 22, it is equally bru

This. I mean you can google stuff like "what does the curly L mean" and it would tell you that it's a Lie derivative, but that wouldn't mean much to you unless you understood that it did. So you need to understand the wo

So you got scammed on the internet. How is that relevant or have anything to do with Dubai/Abu Dhabi?

How is this relevant to HN? Isn't "most political stuff" explicitly off topic? Also, most people calling out UAE to be a "dangerous" place and make misinformed should really learn more before making blanket statemen

Agree with Fred. I left one of my past companies because of something similar. It wasn't even a "hard pivot", we were an EdTech company catering to higher ed, and then switched to a complete different product, now selling to

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking of how one could file a bug using GDocs and it was an interesting idea. Thanks!

This is something I may switch to, if it proves to have any significant advantages over Quill ( https://quilljs.com/ ) which we currently use. Currently it seems to not support customising and/or creating your own blots

Yeah, but initially you make very little money. To make more money (at least enough to hire somebody), you need to improve your product or sell it to way more people, for which you need money. Often times you even need money to build your p
