Sometimes it becomes obvious whether you'll be on the wrong side or right side of history. When we look back on this in 20 years it's become clear to me that the NFL's stance on CTE and Kaepernick will have them squarely on

Interesting, thanks. Looks like I may need a couple of the feature MND has. But I'd much rather use a purpose-built tool that's made for my specific scenarios. As an example, I don't need monitoring or contacts.

Thanks for the response. TBH I was a little confused about whether you were trying to serve personal customers or business customers. From your response above it's still not clear =) It sounds like you don't care much about the

Your paying customers are still going to have to post their articles to different sites regardless of whether you support it or not. But you could make it easier for them. I would tell them: "Medium cut off access so you have to go t

Somewhat related - I think write.as has a huge opportunity here to sell to businesses. When I've done content marketing my core problems were: 1. I want to write a draft, solicit comments to improve, edit, spell check, and run through

Where do old people hangout online? If my mom is any indication, Facebook and email. I think getting advice is the hook to get people to the site. Once you get some valuable advice, the theory is that some of those people will be inclined

Some feedback: 1. Registration form is too long. Lower the barrier to entry. Maybe only ask for email and username? Or just email with a default username? 2. Try lazy registration so the flow is: - click advice - enter advice - hit submi

Amazing. I started this 10+ years ago, called WishIKnew. It was a project to learn Rails. I learned Rails, but never launched it. Glad to see it's real - with curation, I think it could be hugely valuable. I'm 42 and wonder wh

One of the heuristics I use when evaluating whether to build a new product is to answer the question: “will people be solving this problem the way they currently are in 5 years?” If the answer is no, that means there may be an opportunity.

Is it just me or is this article also paywalled for you when you click web => WSJ article? If so, is there another way to read it other than paying for a subscription? I don't read the WSJ often enough to justify subscribing.

There’s nothing reasonable about the cost of housing in Vancouver. Last I checked median price of all housing stock (including condos) was $900k+. If you’re a two income family with kids home ownership is basically out of reach.
