In the wake of Facebook copying TikTok with Reels, here's a story in 5 tweets of how my startup got xeroxed. Happy to answer questions, ama.

You can read (and see) more in the the App Store description without installing. We are pre-launch, so the focus has been on the app and platform rather than website & marketing material: https://itunes.apple.com/us&#x2F

This is exactly why we set out to build Blink (YC SS ‘18), where you talk to friends face-to-face with video messaging, and share your plans to gather IRL for genuine, in-person connections. We think gen z will set a trend that bounces back

Great question biasforaction! Snap/insta is used primarily for broadcasting your life "at" people. Our new video format is all about talking "with" your friends. We use speech to text and NLP to embed what you say i

There's another part of the trend that is less obvious: the social giants haven't focused on making it easier to hang out with friends IRL. On the surface that statement might seem counterintuitive; after all, if I want to message

Are there any plans to make Guetzli available as a library for iOS and Android? Would be great to process images right on device with this level of compression.

Actually, the stock price is being majorly affected today! YHOO usually tracks BABA quite precisely, and BABA was up big today (+3.5%). This usually means that YHOO would be up around 2%, which equates to nearly $1.00 in upside. Instead it

> VR? Probably not. You are correct. AR (augmented reality) is the future, and it's going to be huge. Look at microsoft's hololens, and use your imagination as to what magic leap is cooking up. Once the hardware is there, it&#x

This is a smart move by Segment, since the industry has been moving in this direction. Looks like mParticle launched support for redshift a few months ago: http://blog.mparticle.com/mparticle-launches-next-generation...

You seem pretty confident in your argument that developers are just complaining while using the tool wrong. It makes me think that your experiences in UI development on large teams is limited. There is a reason why you hear this constant co

Utilizing rethinkdb on compose.io with heroku does take some hackery, mainly around deploying to the same colo (amzn us-east-1), and then using heroku env variables to store your ssh key that will be used to connect your api/svc to com

I definitely concur. Having just attended emberconf, there's a stark contrast in how each framework is choosing to evolve with the web. Personally, I favor ember's approach of smaller, more iterative releases that are largely ba

I think Yahoo is moving in the right direction on many fronts, and this decision is definitely welcomed within the company. At the breakneck pace of the web, every framework must eventually meet its demise; YUI is no different. As the pers

I agree with the premise of learning the fundamentals. However, the fact that jQuery has "free" support for features like data binding is not enough justification to forgoe using a framework like backbonejs or emberjs. What about routing? I
