Is there a USP? Lots of sites do this kind of thing. Is yours better? More comprehensive? Why should anyone use it over the alternatives? That tells you your next steps.
What’s the one line pitch? You need to grab attention. What problem(s) are you solving? Not features - problems. You talk about “losing context” - that’s interesting but a little abstract. Unpack it. Imagine you have…
Most jobs don't involve formally verifiable outputs. Lots of things involve judgment, nuance, parsing ambiguity and indeed just being a human who can be in a meeting and explain themselves. Maybe those jobs will go too,…
Sure, there’s an argument for improving the default too. I was just replying to what I thought was someone saying “it doesn’t matter, most people won’t use it, give up”
Why not give people the option? They don’t all have to use it, but it means some can.
To some extent, the U.K. They’ve had flock-style cameras for years, and while there is of course police abuse there’s far greater accountability. Brits are more comfortable with the idea of police having those powers -…
Sadly true. I just felt the person I was quoting was waving it away as if it was a harmless irrelevance. But you’re right, appalling views have become mainstream.
“Europe was better when it was more white” isn’t “conservative leanings”
I imagine we’re not as far apart as you might think. Leave Musk to one side for a second. Is there no one, even hypothetically, whose actions would make you turn away from their company’s products and services? A local…
> “I realize that there’s a population of people who just refuse to use anything associated with Musk because politics have eaten our brains” People have values. Many people strongly disapprove of Musk’s actions. Many…
The cost of losing is only jail time for criminals. Your alternative is a carte blanche for any number of crimes in office.
If you're saying "piracy is justified in those parts of the world where access to any art or culture is prohibitively expensive", then that's a pretty defensible position, not unlike "It's ok to steal bread if you are…
It’s not tautological. Explain why, and particularly why it’s only information, which is the thing that purportedly wishes to be free.
There was no way in your country to pay and watch it? FIFA will have sold the tv rights there to someone, surely. In which case your complaint is what, that it was expensive?
I agree there is an archival justification. I just don’t think that’s why most people who pirate things are doing it.
Plenty of written works aren’t “information” but rather art. Most piracy is just about people preferring not to pay for novels, TV and film.
There’s “how to be a good parent” advice and there’s also “oh boy how do we manage mealtimes and laundry and the school run” type advice. Someone with lots of kids is going to have great insights into the latter at very…
Great! But is the focus exporting short clips? I’m thinking more in terms of assembling long pieces of audio scene by scene, like 30+ mins. That’s a major workflow headache you could make radically easier. Depends on…
If you extended this to allow assembling audio from multiple takes of the same dialogue, you’d have something very useful for audio drama post-production.
You’ve already received the answer to this. The platform was already built. There’s every reason to think it would require only very small operating costs from now on, whereas a company has every reason to maintain…
It’s possible, but there’s a difference between vastness and difficulty. Humans can’t compete with AIs on vastness of material they are familiar with, or the depth of effort they are willing and able to throw at a…
I don’t think people on bluesky particularly care about X. Twitter turned horrible, so they left to do their own thing. Each to their own.
HN is an unrepresentative crowd. Don't focus too much on what people here hate/want, unless it's your target market. Very successful businesses have famously not found approval here.
You mean why isn’t there a cheaper tier than $5/mo? Not much to be gained by offering it, I would think.
What I never understand with these enormous projects is what proportion is consultancy waste/profit, and what proportion is "genuinely, this is a very large software project". IT projects that cost billions are…
