I'm trying a new idea on Referly to help unlock awesome recommendations inside of community sites and turn them into storefronts. What I'd really like is feedback on whether you'd be interested in Reddit doing this themselves? If you'd sh

It should, we loved their layout and used it as a design inspiration. What I have found as someone doing a lot of design work (but I'm not a designer) is that if I start from something similar to other designs I can work my way to something

I went through the other options, like paleo cookies or beef jerky and the reality is that healthier stuff you can order online is really expensive. I don't think it is a startups job to provide full meals or to cater to everyone's dietary

This is awesome, I am surprised someone this young hasn't received VC funding previously. Whatever you think of the idea it isn't important, the person is important and he is one to watch. Ideas change all the time, and if this doesn't wo

Yes, creating lot's of domains is precisely what other affiliates do and what I have been trying to avoid - it feels very dishonest to me. I am extremely aware of how this looks, how affiliates are viewed, and how credibility is destroyed

This is really interesting to me, because it could be helpful and useful (I mean, I just bought $900 worth of stuff for my startup so it's not just a random collection of crap) but it comes of as spam. Can you help me understand what it

I agree, I was really struggling to find healthy stuff on their (at least the almonds and beef jerky are a bit better but still, not by much). I have been considering setting up subscription, but not sure how long stuff is going to last.

I will work on the healthy version, but have found it is surprisingly hard to come up with at a reasonable price, it has always been a challenge in companies I've worked at. I usually buy Diet Coke at Costco, where do you get yours?

It's not trite. Especially when things aren't working, and it would be so safe and warm and simply to stop wanting to do extraordinary things and sink back into momentum, inertia, the rhythm of everything that has ever been or will be. No

I'm not advocating for or against raising money here, but I think the post offers a very low intensity approach as a meaningful way to build a successful business. And for more entrepreneurs, especially first timers, I don't think that is

I'm saying the value will begin to go up as soon as the mindset isn't "30 hours and a good salary". "Expected value" of startups is all about how much money an exit gets you, not the salary you get along the way. I think its awesome you ar

With all respect (and I loved your previous company) I read it and quite frankly it read like this: "I raised $75K and flamed out and this is my rationalization for taking it easy right now". That's fine for you, but I don't think it is go
