In my experience the best ideas come from scratching your own itch. Is there something that you want but can't find a suitable solution for? Build it for yourself. Once it solves your problem, you will probably be happy to find that ot

Nice landing page, it made it extremely clear what your product was and how I might use it. I'm usually skeptical about programming language abstractions but from the demo it looks like this is more of a "helpful addition" th

It's tough to say for sure what they are currently manipulating about your experience because they have so many vectors they can use. But I think the issue is that the amount of data they are collecting goes beyond the "lets impro

This seems like a good idea but I get the feeling its been done (npm, pip, makefiles, gist, etc..) or tried to be done a lot of times and I'm not sure what makes this different. But maybe I'm just a laymen and don't understan
