Not OP but I've done the same and had good success on Upwork.

I've used it for years. It's a good tool. But it'd be better as a Google Docs plugin. My workflow goes from Gdocs => edit in Hemingway => paste back in Gdocs => export to Markdown.

The potentially killer features for me are: 1. Pulling in tasks from multiple sources. Clubhouse and Things are the ones I use, sadly not supported. 2. Sharing tasks with teammates / seeing what they're up to regardless of the to-

It sounds like you're an early stage company - most established companies have the problem of too much feedback. At the early stage my experience has been: 1. You should install SmartLook, FullStory, or similar to watch users. Qualitat

I agree w/ you. Anecdotally but the most common argument I heard was "5-10% can't drive the huge price increases we're seeing". My counter was always that comps drive market pricing. It doesn't take very many

Laundering assumes liquidity when the money is clean, otherwise it’s not laundering. Funnily 10c on the dollar might be worth doing if there are no other laundering methods available. It’s like investing - laundered money seeks the beat ret

That’s true but not super relevant. The important point is that prices become dissociated from local incomes if a laundering buyer agrees to a price that’s much higher than what a local would pay.

That was certainly happening. Ultimately the problem was non-local income was driving up the housing market. But laundered money (from Canadians or non-Canadians) was almost certainly the primary driver of inflated housing prices.

I lived in Vancouver from 2009-2018 and saw the insane price appreciation from money laundering. The main question people asked about the appreciation was: "is appreciation really being driven up by foreign buyers". Many came to t

Fantastic idea. My sister and I interviewed my parents in 2005 about how they met. Now that my dad's passed, the video has become an heirloom. It's an hour-long raw video though - editing it down into a tight story with an arc w

Great idea. I just left a review. Was asked to register after reviewing. I registered and was brought back to the product page with no review on the page. I expected the review to be posted. If it's in a moderation queue I'd e

You don't have to be an isolated island to pull this off. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. We've bubbled with three surrounding provinces (~2.5 million people) and are in basically the same boat as NZ. We've had < 10 known

I would love to see more todo lists take the weekly approach that lets you slot todos in against meetings, for two reasons. 1. When you do things on your list, they take up time. Putting them into a calendar view makes a lot of sense becaus

This list jibes with my experience (been a software PM for 19 years, coach lots of PMs as a service[1]). But I find it incredibly surprising that the word "customer" appears only once in this post in the "Leader your Team&q

Sorry - I phrased my question a little ambiguously. How do you know which ORG the user is requesting to join?

Great read. When requesting to join an org, how do you know which org admins to send the request to?

Can't say I'm surprised. Been a customer for years. Had many issues, was regularly frustrated by support and by the software rewrites. This feels like if they were more customer-focused and more circumspect about raising money (

Sorta feels like research is what OP is doing by asking this question in a place where presumably lots of good technical leaders hang out.

The reason is that instead of 300k (or 80k) you're paying less than 80k.

My experience is that search and UI transitions are blazing fast. It crashes (rarely, but more than I like) and requires a restart. But I love it and am happy to pay $30/m for it.
