Step 1. Get a list of the most popular woocommerce apps Step 2. Look at the Shopify app store. Can find one with the features you need? Or one sucks? Build a better one. I've already given an example of a table of contents generator fo

SEO is much deeper than that and what's needed for your use case, depends entirely on your situation. At it's simplest, it's content + backlinks but to do it well, you have to get into the weeds. I think https://ba

I don't personally write much about it. There are many resources available though. The SEO ones are particularly easy to google.

Thank you for candidly sharing your thoughts & experiences. As a fellow bootstrapped entrepreneur (& programmer), I sympathize with what you're going through. Maybe it's the survivorship bias but I think you could try some

"There is no ethical consumption under capitalism." You can choose where to draw the line you want. Those who point fingers at other's moral purity only draw attention to their own.

Your statement uses pretty charged language and I don't think you're considering all of the potential scenarios. The first is that giant companies like Facebook are so vastly giant and you have no idea what he does for them. If he

Your timeline makes no sense. Theranos started falling apart in 2016 with charges being filed against Holmes in March 2018. MeToo started in October 2017 with the release of the Harvey Weinstein assault stories. By the time MeToo started, T

I'd count that as storage. As for storage, I see pumped hydro or lithium ion (or maybe liquid metal) batteries as the best bets. We will have to remove CO2 too so maybe the kerosene is another viable pathway.

I think it will make sense to way over produce on renewables such that non-optimal times still produce enough electricity. And then use the excess of the spikes for either storage or energy intensive operations like aluminum smelting or lar

I don't think you can put this genie back in the bottle. The US is a corporation cooperative and the banks are already in crypto and only raising their holdings. Even if the US bans it, it just moves the market more into the dark. Rans

The courts present a large problem though. Most digital crimes happen across borders. Courts are pretty much useless for ransomware, identity theft, and everything else online when the criminals are in an inconvenient jurisdiction. Blockcha

A founding team usually doesn't cover all of the core responsibilities necessary to run a company. Between legal, sales, marketing, product, hr, accounting, and engineering, it's rare that the founding team collectively has all of

Specialization & experience are good. So are more people. If finding a marketing or "business" partner for starting your project is your blocker, just learn it yourself. Sure you could get outcompeted but honestly, if one pers

Why not learn how to market yourself? You may not become the greatest marketer in the world but you almost certainly can be competent in less than a year. Then if you grow whatever project big enough, you can then just hire someone. And you

Maybe it's a good thing the selfish people aren't having kids. Having kids used to be a positive economic decision as 150 years ago, most people were farmers. Extra children meant extra help on the farm and kids quickly provided a

If anything, I'm interested in learning about why they should be in jail. I'm pretty uninformed on the subject.

I think your last point makes your true beliefs clear. You believe it's better for the poor to have a forced savings account (or as I call it a loan to the employer) so that they can't "make bad financial decisions". It&

For ease of numbers, let's say you make $100/week and have to spend $90/week on personal expenses. If you get paid once every 2 weeks, you have: Week 1: -$90 Week 2: +$20 Week 3: -$70 Week 4: +$40 Week 5: -$50 Week 6: +$60 We

I think this is a pretty extreme take and probably not fully warranted. I do agree that the bigger problem is enough money not the same money sooner. It is kind of messed up though that you put in work and then your employer decides to pay

I don't really care much for your politics. I think we can agree that misinformation on the internet by state and private actors is causing damage to society. How would you recommend we protect against that damage or prevent it from ha

Isn't that what we're already doing? How do you think it's going?

Other countries are surely spreading misinformation online targeting American audiences. What should we do?

I don't think the world is that simple. Corporations will usually use some consumer benefit that gives them an even greater benefit. I think I'm literally saying the same thing as you but with some nuance added. Companies don&#x27

You make a great point and I think it's hard to generalize. Nukes have made large scale devastating wars irrelevant but could potentially end civilization or be used to terrorists to evaporate a city. The single largest improvement in

Yeah, that's part of the new regulations / guidelines by the FTC. If FB/Youtube/IG/TikTok have to enforce that, it would be probably be a complicated and difficult system to build. This would increase the barriers t

I'm sorry I wrote my comment quickly but I'll expand and I do think I used "regulatory capture" somewhat correctly. Once an innovative industry gets big enough, the public will want it regulated and the largest companies

Ethereum actually offers interesting features and possibilities as well as being a currency. Bitcoin, litecoin and especially monero are only useful when you want to spend money in a way a government doesn't want you too.

In a larger sense, that's a general trend of "innovation". Social media is just advertising that avoided regulation by being on the internet. Now it's rediscovering why public broadcasting laws are necessary. The whole g

Generally speaking, I think your comment and its parent have a poor attitude and not one that anyone should emulate. For me, it's about finding new problems and new challenges. I can't stand facing the same problems over and over
