This was a life saver when I was traveling in Europe and had limited data to use! Thanks for making and keeping it running.

Pretty cool, love that it keeps track of your score at the bottom. One comment is that the user feedback when answering incorrectly displays the name of the correct country, not the incorrectly guessed country. Example: Flag is Brazil. Fi

I’ve heard this called “um carioca” in Portugal where they will pull a second shot from an already extracted espresso puck.

Similar thing happened to me, but my card on file had expired . Zipcar sent me an email threatening to send me to collections. I sent them a polite message on April 11th and they finally got back to me on May 30th that the charges would be

A few ideas that I've seen out in the wild: - Engage with your most consistent readers and find out what makes them such big fans. Use that to create premium/paid content. - turn into a paid newsletter (or paywall for the blog).

Looks fantastic. What did you use to build this? Any interesting changes/user insights since you posted to HN in July? I love the low-friction approach to signing up and getting started right away with a cohort. I have a family memb

In my limited experience, no-code tools are really great for idea validation & prototyping because you can get to the core of your value proposition faster than starting from scratch. As things scale, maybe you can't rely on V1 as

Is this tongue-and-cheek? Seems like you are creating value for people and should be compensated. Or is there some monetization of user data?

Pretty cool! How long did you spend building before you launched? Did you target any specific niches at first?

Simple's Safe-to-Spend® feature was ahead of its time and today is still a really unique feature among digital banks (standalone budgeting apps notwithstanding). I wonder if a challenger bank could buy that IP from BBVA.

They were, but then they hit funding issues in spring 2020 and appear to be scaling back their US expansion. https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/09/monzo-to-shutter-las-vegas...

Varo Bank offers 2.8% on up to $10k in your savings account if you get direct deposit and use your card 5x/mo. Not the rich features of Simple, YNAB, or even Virtual Wallet...but when they earn next to nothing for interest, that'

The "Show Labels" on the color options is a nice touch. I am colorblind and was clicking on purple instead of blue, etc., until I saw that feature. In fact, since this is targeted towards men, who are colorblind more than women

Have you heard of Van Westendorp's Price Sensitivity meter? It could give you numerical insight into how you might raise prices further (vs. guess and test).

my $.02 - Sales is similar to finding product-market fit. Exhaust your network doing pain discovery interviews. Ask lots of good questions. You can't pitch a solution until you really know what their problem is. Circle back to prospect

They had me at: Register Now, Add Funds, Get Profit. I can't give them my money fast enough.... Sounds like loan repayments (ie principal + interest) are suspended indefinitely. This is the risk you take when you are expecting a 10+%

I'm in the same boat (or, house...boats are not great investments) The justifications/case for home ownership can often be over-hyped. Everything works out well in a rising market. When shit hits the fan, sure my landlord can ra

I am careful about giving financial advice to someone asking about timing the market. Things that might be helpful to ask first. 1. What is it about ETFs that makes you ask the question? Do you know what an ETF is, what it does, and what

I was thinking something similar. Maybe with some randomization to it, so different profiles across (social) media wouldn't link together through Clearview et al. but still all look like you to humans.

I like this idea. You shouldn't have to pay to access your own bank data. Looking forward to the near future when banks either have an API or die a slow death.
