Thanks for building this. Me and my team have been driving it for the last few days, and it is a pleasure to use. Those law documents - that is probably us :) Can you comment a bit on fine-tuning options available at the user-level. There

What would work better for me, as an individual, is to not lock me in, let me try the goods that I have paid for, and evaluate if it satisfies my need, and drive the value (through messaging) of leaving my credit card on your file for futur

Useful service, and tried adding two tests, but decided to not order when I saw: Recurring subtotal $268.00 every 12 months Do not know if it is useful enough to renew, and I as a customer do not like services that presumptively charge me o

I am a happy user of Shottr.cc. It is easily my top-3 pieces of software in terms of usage. I had emailed Max, the author asking him if I can pay in anything more than "coffee" and he said "get me more coffees" :) I wou

So we are clear, I do not profit from this. Happy to take a look and if relevant connect you to a friend who is using something similar at a large scale. IF interested, email is in my profile.

Somethings we do in our weekly meetings in our nascent startup (no claims on the efficacy of the rituals): Open the meeting with a group clap. This one was started by a much younger and more social member of our team. My immediate reaction

Not affiliated at all. Wobaka is another option for a personal CRM. We evaluated it. A great product (and Fredrik the owner-developer was a treat to work with), but we passed on it because it did not fit for our niche use case. At $50 per m

I highly recommend "Silver Spoon". Published in 1950s - about 2000 recipes - Indexed thoroughly - I use it both for its recipes and also for its heft as a doorstop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_cucchiaio_d

I feel you. I have been a subscriber for the past 20 years. Before I go further, I would argue my consumption model has changed even more than The Economist has changed. My consumption model has changed because the sources of deep and speci
