How many times have you opened an iOS app to see what the red notification was and then realised you already knew what it was? It happens to me all the time, with windows phone the widget told me as the notification so I saved a lot of open

Do you really think people doing gig economy jobs have alternatives? It's not a "lifestyle choice", it's literally looking around and saying what can I do that will pay my bills, today. And if these are the only options

It’s not the volume of jobs, it’s the quality. Driving a taxi or delivering food is a pretty bad job, doing it as a self employed contractor is almost criminal. You have to cover all your own expenses and have no guarantee of work, with zer

Just switched from inbox to gmail today after the notifications stopped working There are ads inside gmail that look just like emails, which I keep accidentally opening. This is just ridiculous why would I use an email provider that does t

It’s never guaranteed, you have to wait all year for it, if you leave in December you get nothing, banks don’t value it as highly, you can’t pay your bills with it until you get it

I see similar results on an ecommerce site. PayPal's UX (login, click buy) is a better experience over entering a 16 digit credit card, expiry date, csv & address. It's one or two clicks and payment is done. It's unfortun

Ops isn't a problem until you're successful, the taxman won't come after you if you have 10k in revenue, customers won't complain if you haven't sold things to them. It really isn't something to worry about now

This is great! I think you're offering too much content for free and not enough features for the paid version - once I have built a basic page with your builder and exported it it's not too difficult to quickly tweak to implement

Smart. I was just about to go out and buy a CD and then I saw this YT video, I was thinking great! Now I can listen to Phil Collins for free! Then I realised there was no audio. So I went and purchased the CD and now I realise how immoral i

This is cool but quite easy to game - all I need is a spare couple of thousand and I can jump to the top of the leaderboard by buying my own products. Of course I'll have to pay stripe's fees but it's probably quite a good RO

Go look in the mirror, you'll see much greater freedoms in western countries than any you've mentioned. The west doesn't actively persecute homosexuals, protects women's rights and supports a free press. The list goes on
