   I was really upset when FB bought Oculus, but have to admit that they did a decent job with the acquisition (other than the FB login fiasco) and I respect taking the risk on what could be the next thing. I don’t think they’ll ‘win’ in the e

   My sentiments exactly. I was one of the first people to fund the Rift Kickstarter way back in the day and I have no idea what this thing is or why it exists after reading that page. It's just a series of Apple-style pithy marketing sta

   The story/narrative driven style of podcasting may be suffering from a lull, but interview style episodes on niche topics is flourishing.

   Alex Hormozi was on a podcast recently talking about how you should learn high volume sales skills in a scenario like a gym chain, car dealer, etc. Do that for a few years and then take those skills to sell the most expensive thing you can

   I have a software product that began with a traditional SaaS model before I realized that usage was project-driven/sporadic and it was better for the customer to do a pay-as-you-go model with no subscriptions. What happened after I mad

   Does anyone know of a good app for voice journaling? I use Otter for that purpose exclusively, and between this news and their recent UI changes to make the record/stop button tiny on their iOS app I'd like to seek an alternative.

    It’s a useful metric on Steam where you can disregard reviews from players with low time spent playing the game, so I imagine it would be useful in this scenario as well.

    Andrew Mason reached out to me to do an interview about his new startup Descript. Dude is worth a lot of money from his Groupon days and here he is doing one on one calls with his customers. I think it’s a big reason why Descript is a great

    The cartoony art style can work well in VR (see Rec Room), but for some reason it just doesn’t work in Horizon. I was on the beta and the disconnect between various parts of the world left something to be desired so I never went back. The t

    I recently came across an Aristotle quote that ‘happiness is a state of activity.’ I’m sure I’m missing the context and nuance, but I’ve started applying the quote to mean I can be happy in any activity, no matter how small or short in dura

    It amazes me how many software products launch these days without an about page. Why would anyone buy into a new product if they don’t know at least a little bit about who is behind it? It should be the most important page on the site behin

    Be careful using the Typeform name. Someone I know did a tutorial on how to build a typeform clone and got a cease and desist. They aren’t friendly.

    Good resource, but as a heads up your rotating headline text pushes content down randomly on mobile, making for an annoying reading experience on the homepage.

    Check out episode 246 of the Indie Hackers podcast. They talk about how podcasts work nicely as a supplement to a newsletter. Might be worth creating a newsletter to complement/grow your existing podcast.

    Agreed. The example from Jobs’ commencement fell flat as a way to reinforce the point of the article. That quote was inspirational rather than a template for success.

    Depending on your use cases you may want to check out Clover (cloverapp.com). They’re a YC alum making something a little more ‘streamlined’ than Notion. Doesn’t have as many blocks, but the ones it does have work well. (No affiliation, jus
