Nice looking landing page. I like the idea of a book with holistic advice. I like the domain and name. Have you considered making the ebook public domain and free, and just charging for a paper version? Here's my user test: https:&#x2

If you want to prove to me you are arguing in good faith, you can download Loom (or one of the many open source alternatives) and do proper user test, and I will be happy to take the time to address your points. Many examples on BuilderNews

Thanks for putting the effort in! Glad the garden metaphor clicked. I've expanded more on the microbiology analogy here. I don't think we're talking about the same thing, but I liked your thoughts! Youtube response: https:&#

It's accurate to say I used to struggle with wild energy swings. It turned out to be caused by wild blood glucose swings and lack of ketones. A year ago I switched to a ketogenic diet and do finger prick ketone tests to ensure my keton

You bring up great information for anyone who is familiar with Microcode and might get confused by my use of the term Microprogramming here. I'm not talking about Microcode at all here, I'm repurposing the Microprogramming term fo

Fair enough. Like all of his work, I thought it was an incredible book, if you just randomly sample 10% of it. I never understood why he doesn't cut more, as he has genius ideas that get really watered down with lots of less relevant d

Hey this is well done. I had a very nice experience. I wasn't sure what the best kind of clips to make are, but if you are open to suggestions, I could really use a template that takes a long 10 minute product review or screencast, and

Love it! I can see the love put into this. Snappy, a lot of features. The diff tool seems useful. The vis tool was neat but I don't often have that need. I did get it to crash when I dumped a JSON file containing data on every programm
