I don't feel weighed down all that much. I'm not at the "go on an extended backpacking trip with no internet" stage, but I can go for a solid day or so before I get the urge to do a quick check in on the app. I picked th

It sounds like you're pre-idea, so one suggestion is to avoid building a "mission critical" type of idea if your desire is to stay solo and not be chained to your laptop... I run a small SaaS where I had a decision early on t

I must be weird in that I like my free users. They’re often the source of decent insights about the product, and it fits with my values of running a company. I do see some of the points of the article though. There are a handful of ‘entitle

Website looks nice, and the survey experience is well done. Is it doing well so far? Feedback tools are an incredibly crowded market (I’ve built a few myself, though in a different part of this industry).

Looks great. Can I make a small headline suggestion that might boost your conversion? Consider saying ‘Sell your used computer...’ Using the word ‘your’ in a headline has been shown to improve conversions. I also think it would just read ea

I’ve been searching for something just like this and haven’t found ‘the one’ yet. Something that goes from goals to milestones mapped to specific days and times on those days (I’ve learned that todo lists not mapped to calendars are far les

It doesn't cost thousands. It's at most $200 or so to publish in two newspapers. Where I'm from people always pick the Jewish Ledger because it's something like $79 for an ad publishing a LLC. It's a dumb rule regar

I recall reading research (which I can’t seem to find now) that showed how prior to WW2 the political and social discourse in America was about how to build a stronger country and democracy, and how after the war that shifted to how to buil

One potential solution is to pay people to participate in polls. Pollsters don’t do this because it is prohibitively expensive and cuts into their consulting margins, but it can reduce sampling bias (it can also introduce a bias if not used

Join citizen advisory boards and councils. I’ve been doing some research on these for a potential project and the average age of people on them has to be 65. Need to see more representation from younger demographics.

There is an approach called QVC (Question, Value, Call to Action) that can be surprisingly effective if used appropriately. Templates and more here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.leadfuze.com/cold-email-out

Really wish there was a native version of this for the Quest rather than having to link it to a PC.

Related, it really bugs me that some startups are throwing the ‘no code’ tag into their pitch decks or Product Hunt launches just to hop on a trend. As you noted, every app built for the end user is ‘no code’ in some respect.

Depends on what you’re trying to build. It’s pretty useful for generic CRUD apps, which is 90% of business apps when you strip out the marketing speak and design...

Second this recommendation. The first chapter on the psychology and mindset behind selling is worth it alone.

Surprised this isn’t getting more upvotes after the outrage and 1,000+ comments on HN for FB censoring a recent NY Post story.

That wasn’t the stated reason given by the party at that time. The line sold to the public was ‘can’t confirm in an election year,’ which can be found in many public statements by Republicans at that time. Going through with a nomination wh

Choosing a ‘mission critical’ idea definitely ups the difficulty into hard mode. That’s number one on my list of ‘can’t have’ items for bootstrapped software because I just don’t want to deal with 24/7 instant support.

There is potentially a sampling bias in who is reporting data. The author links to a NYT article they wrote that says it is volunteers for the study. It could well be districts without problems that willingly choose to share data.

Great points here and a related anecdote: Last year I came across a productivity app that I absolutely loved and signed up for the paid version right away. Unfortunately, they’re charging less than $5/month. The service is buggy and in

Why put ‘conservative’ in quotes? If you Google the name of the magazine their own meta description says conservative as the second word, so they consider themselves a partisan source.
