   I love these threads, and always learn or pick up something new. From my side, I've been working on a multi-lingual first words book for a baby. None of the published books have our mix of languages (which is fair enough, I don't

   It's great, used it pretty extensively yesterday! My only request would be if there was a way to undo your last redaction (apologies if there is a way and I missed it). I found that if I got it wrong I had to refresh the page to start

   Thanks for making this, and making it freely available. I actually have a use case for your other product: pdfredactoronline.com as I need to redact personal info on job applications, and I'm delighted to have come across it in this th

   This is great to see on the front page! I include it as part of the newsletter I run on the best/nostalgic side of the internet so it’s cool to see it resonating with people here for that reason.

   Thanks for clarifying, we're a small org and so the few mentions we get could be analysed manually I'm sure. I will flag it to the marketing team!

   This is really interesting, thanks for sharing! I'm keen to know how it compares to a tool like Pulsar? I've been quoted a huge amount to use their service, and it looks like mention.us basically fulfills the same social listening

   I love that you've shared how you built it and been so transparent around pricing. I think anything that helps reduce asymmetry of information in the markets is a good thing, and I'm glad this exists. Just a question, what makes y

    This has prompted some interesting points around the value of using a mobile in a chamber which I've enjoyed reading. However, I wonder if the tool could be re-purposed to catch drivers using mobile phones whilst driving? I imagine the

    I'm trying to apply the idea of microadventures [1] to the internet, allowing folks to have nice 5 minute breaks on the internet. I don't know if it will catch on - but it's something I need to be honest, so I mainly built it

    I really like this! I created a month or so back - https://www.thedailydetour.co.uk/ , inspired by what seems like a similar ambition! I wanted a way to get interesting/fun/amusing things sent to me as a nice break

    Each essay should be written independently of the others, as I understand it. I wouldn't try and weave them together.

    For me it's less about training for a job, and more just curiosity - what makes one answer to these questions better than another? I wonder what criteria they use and knowing that criteria would be helpful to me when looking to develo

    Fun to see the questions, but I would love even more to read the essays they got along with the mark scheme/examiner's comments. What is they are looking for? And what in their eyes makes a good answer? That would be interesting f

    Thanks, that's a good reminder to just focus on the value. Plus, I enjoy it too - so in the end I guess that's the only thing that matters.

    Yeah, I think need to get over thinking it's bad to self-promote and just go for it. I'll check out your blog!

    I like the principle of making information easier to share and more accessible for those who need it. However, from the perspective of someone who uses WhatsApp a lot, I think a decent chunk of this info could be shared in a WhatsApp group

    It's anecdotally very true I think, speak to any secondary school history teacher and they will say that at open evenings parents will often confess to a love of the subject that they have discovered in later life. I think podcasts pla
