There’s a story (Prometheus myth) that Steve Jobs and the Mac team copied the human graphical interface idea from Xerox. A fascinating read about it here: https://web.stanford.edu/dept/SUL/sites/mac/parc.

Does anyone have any anecdotes about companies enforcing this rule and coming after a founder that started a side project while working for the company?

Yeah. And how much code has to load? Given that I can get 100k image in a few seconds!!! Ie Why would it ever need more than 100k JS after compression and thus < 1s to load? Even if it is a big size why not cache and be instant on load?

I love the Indie Hackers community and mission of the site, but I can't understand why on earth the site is so JavaScript heavy. Almost everything on that site could be server side and there is no need for a loading screen that takes 2

I think the business model is to charge a decent amount, think $1000(ish), up front.

IMHO There is a big mismatch between the importance of the service and the brand as shown here. I can imagine there are real customers who would pay for a service like this who are in their 40s 50s 60s and who would want something to look p

This is quite a nuanced subject. It's something I've had a chance to think long and hard about and discuss with many founders. I wrote a lesson about it in the Nugget Startup Academy but it's behind a paywall. Here's a s

Well it's A LOT of them. Because we spoke about the Uber stuff as Jason lived it in real time ;) A fun one was when Jason turned down the CTO position and of course we had no idea at the time what that really meant. I guess in the late

How about "No thanks, maybe later" or something like that :) Even "No thanks" is fine!

IMHO - On the signup popup form. If you want to close it without entering an email address you have to click a link that says - "No thanks, I hate saving money" - it seems to go against the friendliness of the rest of the branding

This is my favorite side project that I've ever heard of. It's so cool how you stumbled into it and there's a lot of scope for other products too!

It's really hard for the human brain to comprehend what these type of long odds mean practically speaking. This is a great project that illustrates it rather well.

I think I'm going to try an experiment and switch my browsing/hn/news time to listening to music instead. I feel like I need to do _something_ in that downtime. Maybe music will calm the soul. See you guys in a few weeks!

To my eyes, it’s not quite clear if these are free or not. Royalty free in some cases might mean pay one time and then not any more for future applications. Are they free?

Just a note that if you're using Stripe you get that upgrade downgrade history for free, so might not need the complexity. Also ProfitWell plugs in to Stripe and does a pretty good job with analytics for that for free too. Of course if
