The Flesch Kincaid gives you ranges, and it's reasonable for amendments to be within a certain range. For example, in Florida, all life insurance policies must have a Flesch Kincaid score of at least 45. > "The text achieves a

The loading bar is extremely subtle and hard to see. I missed the tooltip message in the corner. It would be helpful if there was more clear visual feedback that the query is being processed or if the tooltip stayed open until the query was

That's basically what I am doing with Quill.org (I'm the founder / executive director). Quill is a platform for learning tools and games - we support six web applications that plug into a common, open source platform where te

These are tools for teachers to catch plagiarism. He is saying he wants better tools to detect plagiarism because these don’t handle similarity matches well.

How did the pricing compare? What was the Render server needed to match what you were using with the Heroku Dyno? I run a high-traffic nonprofit edtech app that runs on 3-5 Heroku L Dynos, and I'm curious how well Render will perform a

Has anyone done a load test comparison for Heroku vs. Render.com? The "Pro Ultra" on Render is $450/month for 32 GB RAM + 8 CPU. The Heroku Performance L Dyno is $500 a month for 14 GB RAM. The Render server seems like a muc

Hi there exdsq, I run a nonprofit, Quill.org, that serves five million students in the United States, and I am building an educational tool that is very similar to the "cognitive aid" goal listed as a project idea. I'm hoping

Awesome, thanks for following up! We also use coreference resolution - we specifically found Allen NLP's coreference to be the most accurate in an analysis of a few different offerings: http://docs.allennlp.org/v0.9.0&#

This is an interesting tool! It would be cool if you could take say 20 articles from Gothamist, Streetsblog, NYT, NY Post, Pix11, etc. and see how they all ranked in this system. That could be a really interesting blog post. -- Which tools

We use Moqups (moqups.com) extensively for quick scratch-pad designs. Moqups includes commenting tools and collaboration. What are the benefits of NextUX over Moqups? The screenshot feature looks helpful, but taking screenshots isn't r

It would be helpful if the site could define what they mean by the average. The average visitor to the website thanaverage.xyz? The average American? the average person around the world? It seems like it would be more interesting to make a

Yes, that is great to hear! Pre-pandemic, Quill had the most luck with in-person hackathons, where folks could spend a day contributing to Quill, and some of those folks were then interested in staying connected with the work. Hopefully as

That sounds like a great and ambitious roadmap Aly! :) Best of luck scaling to support 100x users! In case you are not already using it, New Relic's new program for nonprofits provides their entire platform for free, and it can be real

In the report, not the summary, Firebase is listed as the most used 3rd party, with Firebase Messaging and Firebase Analytics being designated as "High Risk." When the report says "these apps are sending data to Google"

This implies that YC will continue to offer a remote option: "In a post-COVID world many of the changes we were forced to implement will live on just as several pre-pandemic experiences will return." Is that what this is saying? O

So after reading this article, I wanted to set up some type of automated alert that would email once the rate reaches a certain threshold. If you want to know when treasury bills reach 2%, I figured out a way to do this. My brokerage accoun

Wow, that's really interesting. Did UpToDate publish their entire content library as of April 2018 under an open access license? There seems to be a ton of good data here that you could use to build some type of WebMD competitor.

Yes, that's an interesting point. It seems like an individual medical provider is incentivized for repeated care where a large facility is incentivized for a fast outcome.

Yes, exactly - it's though big enterprise contracts that generate revenue, but they are hard to close as a startup. Selling this service to companies that already have those contracts is a faster way of creating value for those custome

This article's thesis seems to be that medical professionals are not incentized to provide the best interventions, and as a result, wouldn't pay for this service. However, what the author fails to mention is the competitors in thi

Couldn't you "pen test" your own hiring process? Have some folks stage applications and see the process failures first hand. You might get better data from running these experiments yourself rather than through a survey.

Well it's free and in the browser? For an entire generation that never played Pharoh, this would be a lot of fun. It would be cool if the author open sourced this and people could submit their own mechanics.
