My thoughts: your core customer group is too small. people new to freelancing don't have the cash to put into a subscription tool, and probably don't think they need these features you provide. (if only due to lack of experience

i live in Woodinville, a suburb of Seattle, and have noticed over the last couple years that the weather forecast is getting really bad. Often (maybe once/month) showing 0% chance of rain when it's actually pouring rain. The te

Not about insects, but birds: In the Pacific Northwest, on the coast of Olympic National Park, (Ruby Beach, Kalaloch, etc) 30 years ago (when I was a kid) the beaches were teaming with seagulls. On a given day you would see hundreds. The l

sorry but if i have to choose between a guy with an AK47 demanding $5 from me, and a shadowy power pulling the strings of a vibrant economy to extract 10% of my income, I know what I'd choose.

one problem i've run into when making a shed is the flooring. unless you spend a huge amount of time+effort+materials on a foundation, water vapor tends to come up. This causes mold growth and eventually over the span of 5 to 10 year

unless you are doing business in China, or with others with similar geo-political leanings. Oh wait, then how will you know? This is why in high stakes environments this "assume positive intent" falls apart. Only where the costs
