Memrise has been an inspiration to Seedlang, but we have alot of improvements over it. Our videos are complete sentences, and they are also part of larger narratives (a story that we've written, or animated GIFs that we're descri

Hi Frank, we have two main priorities over the next months: getting a mobile app built and adding other languages. There is some uncertainty as to exact timelines, but if you register we'll notify you when we start adding other langua

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think it will be good to have some new ideas in the language learning app space. I'll get that iphone display issue fixed, thanks for letting me know.

Hi jclos, yeah I think with just audio that we are just missing so much information and it kind of detaches us and makes it harder to retain information. Context is really everything with building memories, which is why I try to pack the f

Hey guys, I'm bootstrapping a pretty ambitious language learning project, and would love to get your feedback on it. I started working on it almost 4 years ago after moving to Berlin, and discovering how crazy-hard learning a language

I love the new keyboard as well. Hate the fact that like 5 of my keys have a strange combination of sticking and being not properly affixed (ie they just fly off the keyboard at random times). It's pretty crazy that to get your keybo

I've known people who have tried to get into coding, where it was clear that coding wasn't a "calling". And they struggled horribly and suffered alot of anguish trying to figure out why it was so hard for them. And my a

I didn't even realize the act of adding single spaces after a period was a thing until a month ago, when a (younger) coworker pointed it out. But man, is it a hard habit to break. (Just looked up and noticed double spacing after peri

Anyone know if this would likely be true in Europe as well? Or are there vastly different pesticide policies here?

Yeah, the "fools" line is an indicator that you are burned out and have lost your belief in the mission. You'd be lying to yourself and others if you continued.

I think I've always conflated motivation and initiative, and it's nice to see initiative being evaluated on its own right. It seems clearer and probably more actionable to discuss lack of initiative with someone than lack of moti

Imagine if life had evolved on Mars, and we were sitting on that planet looking at that beautiful blue orb off in the distance. How much quicker would we have become multi-planetary then? I just can't imagine that there will be masses

Will this result in appreciably more money flowing into the rest of the ecosystem from the people that are enriched turning into Angel investors? Or does that only happen with the massive IPOs like Microsoft, Google, et al?

As someone that is 46 and founding only his second startup, I can say that the wisdom and choices of how I've gone about this has felt like it's an order of magnitude improvement over my last startup which I founded in the early 2

Not sure why I was downvoted, at 1:27 it says that the date stamp is incorrect.

If I remember correctly, he mentions in the course of the video that the time is correct but the date is not.

Yeah, it's literally the opposite of behind-the-scenes. Would have loved to see some backstage jitters by the founders, what they do in the last minutes before their pitches, etc.

This seems useful, and I get the value. I'm wondering how you balance exactly how much time to allot? Do you try to come up with an average estimate of time needed and then like 2x that to reduce time anxiety?

Why was this downvoted? By Americans who have never experienced this?

I've always had this impression that AWS puts downward pricing pressure on itself, and periodically reduces its pricing, and that Heroku just swallows up the difference never passing it on to their customers. Would you say that is acc

I made 90% of my winnings online, and treated live tournies and cash games as kind of a break from my real job. I was a heads up specialist (we used to be referred in a derogatory sense as "bum-hunters") who could enjoy basically

I played professional poker for 3-4 years after selling my first startup in 2007. In hindsight I should have jumped straight back into tech, but I was seriously burned out and the poker monies was good.

I think opportunities are easiest to spot in places where you are newly spending alot of time. You are quickly coming up to speed on the status quo, but haven't been inured to it yet. You also still have this sparkling energy at all o
