I’d recommend replacing Intercom on your marketing site with your own product. I know they serve different purposes, but I think it would be much more impactful seeing you ‘dog food’ your own product.

Exit Scam is also worth checking out: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exit-scam/id1565845318 (Disclosure: I know one of the producers)

The author acknowledges what you are saying in the second half of the fourth paragraph. They did not name alternate cryptocurrencies, but it is implied in the text.

Yes, I was referring to blockchain and bitcoin rather than ‘smart’ contracts.

How is it an "emerging area?" It came out in 2008. In the tech world that is a lifetime.

There are definitely some weak spots in the video that are easy to attack, but it doesn't discredit the overall premise. Also, it's too long which is unfortunate because few people will watch to the end.

Careful using the term ‘ponzi’ - they’ll show up and argue with you on semantics of what to call the scam while ignoring your other (valid) arguments.

This video by a game dev does a decent job explaining why transferring assets won't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKzup7XDyq8&t=3s It's in the context of games, but virtual worlds have similar dynamics

I really wish the idea of a metaverse hadn't been coopted by the crypto community to sell tokens and NFTs. The author mentions crypto a few times, which is clearly coloring their opinion. I always envisioned the metaverse as a large sc

Yeah, OP wasn’t clear on whether this is for equity or just pre-launch indications of interest from prospective customers. Would be helpful to clarify since most of the comments here so far have focused on equity implications.

I’ve never caught obesity by sitting next to someone. Have you?

I recently read that most fume hoods aren’t powerful enough to remove the worst of it, but can’t find my source.

It also tells you how much time that feature has saved you, which is kind of fun to see.

Liked the article, but did anyone else find it odd they’re asking you to do a ‘Depth Year’ in a… Facebook group? The concept sounds appealing, but a Facebook group is one of the last places I would associate with finding ‘depth’ (Slack or D

Most anything from Athletic Brewing is good as well, although they do have carbs.

It starts from day one. Pitch decks that don’t have a subscription revenue model are routinely ignored, so founders find a way to shoehorn subscriptions in somehow even though the product isn’t a “natural” fit for subscriptions.

Nice landing page - clean design and clear layout. I also like that you include a brief blurb about you and why you created it right on the homepage. So many software companies these days hide who is behind it and/or don’t have an “abo

I was similarly confused with the contradiction of her kids having spent ‘one third of their lives in lockdown’ and mentions of going out to restaurants and seeing friends at their houses. Is that lockdown?

I also kickstarted the original Rift, but have the opposite perspective. It took a while, but VR in the Quest 2 is taking up more and more of my gaming time these days - especially playing Demeo. What was the last headset you picked up? I c

This is great news. I spend too much time on Reddit right now and this would make me not want to spend time on Reddit.

Does anyone know if drinking coffee black stops autophagy and "technically" breaks a fast? I seem to recall reading that a while ago, but can't find the source.

I had a somewhat similar setup to you with Notion and Notability. I tried Clover and at first it didn’t stick but I gave it another shot and eventually transitioned over entirely. The only thing I miss from my previous setup is the syncing

The reviews on the metamask chrome extension are pretty scary. And it has access to view all data on all sites you visit. Is there a better way?

Someone on HN recommended taking a Sparketype career test, which broadly categorizes people into the two groups you mentioned. I found it to be helpful, and OP may find value as well…

Ponzi aside, when you need to pay someone to do something you are communicating that the task is inherently unpleasant. Otherwise why would you need to pay someone to do it? As a producer I may be able to bribe them with tokens to do someth

The best founder I personally know (5 startups, all positive exits) tried his hand at blockchain for enterprise with his recent startup and had to pivot months into it because there wasn’t a valid use case. I haven’t explored it myself, but

Downvotes HN? Was trying to provide some value in this comment. Would be helpful to know why that wasn’t seen as valuable relative to the other comments here that generically thank OP for posting… I should add that I used to run a usability

These are great. There is one tip from the free sample I disagree with - ‘Empty/Loading States.’ It’s better to teach users early on where the ‘add a new thing’ button will be. Your example uses a credit card so maybe not an issue ther

Same experience here. I recall hearing about him on HN a long time ago and read his book, which I attribute to helping alleviate chronic back pain.

Perhaps, although by then you will have likely proven traction and can invest confidently in the future stack knowing your needs. Until then getting up and running quickly could be the way to go.
