  1. Wondering if anyone has come across any decent companion AI apps? Either for learning like a "young lady's illustrated primer", or a Jervis like assistant that keeps track of what your up to. I use chatGPT and others a…

  2. A lot of small businesses use spreadsheets as an effective DB + CRUD app, where the content of the sheet represent the current "state" of the data. An example could be a sheet full of orders, or customer queries, or…

  3. Ive noticed that the quality of individual creators on youtube is typically better (more entertaining & higher quality) than a lot of the videos teachers share as supplementary material in my kids school. For example,…

  4. For most people chatGPT interactions are <question> followed by <answer>. But its also possible to make a rudimentary applications using this format. Has anyone taken this to the extreme yet? Like feeding realworld…

  5. Book Review: Albion's Seed (slatestarcodex.com)
  6. There are incredibly popular apps active here (SEA) that seem to extend the functionality of whatsapp, with features like messing with the read receipts on a per contact basis, automatically cleaning up groups etc. They…

  7. Honest question, genuinely curious. Ive never ever seen something that rivals an FAQ, never mind a human. The best I can seem to find gives a list of clickable links (like a telegram bot) but at that stage its like your…

  8. Im not sure if its supported or not anymore but rarely if ever works for me. Paid or Free alternatives would be welcome

  9. Ive been using apples (MBP + MB air) for the past decade and i think now its time to bite the bullet and switch to a pc/linux laptop. Don't fancy trawling through crappy websites trying to get the lowdown on the current…

  10. Anyone know of simple software to track customers and how much they owe, invoicing schedule etc? Don't actually need the sending-of-invoices part, just scheduling for billing and recording of whats been paid and not.…

  11. We are a non bank that may have a use case to track account balances and transactions and are looking for a backend system to support (the front end entirely on our side). Even though most features of a core banking…

  13. What if a government assigned a very small % of income tax to "tech_services" for each citizen. It could be further subdivided into categories (social, communications, media). Then when a user of a social media site,…

  14. I read a comment recently here mentioning a website[0] to sell side projects and decided to put an old baby of mine up there as I had no time to concentrate on it. Turns out there was a lot of interest. Has anyone here…

  15. I found the YC Seed Deck Template[1] by Aaron Harris / akharris extremely useful to keep our deck in check. (thanks Aaron!) The article mentions there was a series A deck in the works, but I don't think it was released.…

  16. Ive been a huge fan of Heroku since I first used it a few years back. Its amazing how quickly you can get up and running, deploy, add SSL, monitoring etc. The polar opposite of AWS. It has worked for me for a variety of…

  17. Im looking at building a very basic bookkeeping system for small businesses. One that has things like a basic chart of accounts, ability to record transactions, balance sheet etc. We will build a front end, ideally just…

  18. Id like to implement a simple checkout, connecting to a payment gateway. The checkout flow is bespoke, perhaps 2 screens where a user selects some variables related to their purchase, during it there will be calls to a…

  19. We have considering profit sharing VS ESOP for employees as: - Profit sharing is tangible - We monetise from the start and can roll down KPIs - Many of our employees would struggle to understand an ESOP scheme - Those…

  20. Im building an analytics tool that aggregates and plots user journeys through an app or website. They are visualized as a directed graph of a user moving between pages/screens. Im doing this because its quite difficult…

  21. So we run a payments platform that functions a lot like an e-commerce app. After an initial registration the user can purchase a variety of goods. We have used the concept of a "magic moment"* to guide our product &…
