    Where and How Much Can Cost Hire a good illustrator?

    SOURCING 
    It might be worth for you to pay a mediator. Ideally it's a graphic designer who can speak Japanese - he/she probably knows how to access the sort of talent that you're looking for, engage with them in the proper terms and create a relationship of trust. Get ready with mood boards and anything...

    Starting a robotics company

    INTRO 
    Hi Tonci, welcome! Big fan of the approach that you're taking here with testing your robot early with users. The learnings you'll get this way will be extremely valuable to develop a desirable product! Me and my team have worked on tele-operated / hybrid AI robots in the past - B2C and B2B...

    Driven To Be Location Independent / "Not Another Web Agency"

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Hey Nomads nice to meet you. I also moved to Portugal to work remotely for clients. My tips for the challenges that people fairly brought up so far: pick an apartment with a high energy class (A+, A...). I've been seeing some properties around here and there's plenty of new developments that...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    A thick foam pillow instead of a thin feather-filled one. It brought two direct benefits that had a chain reaction on my sleep: -it allowed me to sleep on my side because my neck was bending too much with thin/old pillow I was using. This allowed me to stop snoring once and for all -it kept my...

    Little Inventors

    In Japan I've seen many nail clippers that get sold with a plastic case around it to collect the fallen nails. It doesn't catch all of them for sure, but it definitely helps. I usually end up shooting some across the room anyway. There could be some different iterations of this to try...

    Post all of your ideas and random problems you’ll never execute on...

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    Yes. Building on this, cleaning and restoring sneakers is a service that I'm having a hard time to find. Only big and modern cities offer this kind of niche service. I have some beloved pairs that I would pay serious money for.

    Product design

    Before investing into the full engineering of the product which can be very expensive, I'd encourage you to first test the value proposition of your idea - the desirability of your product with your target audience. Outside the actual feasibility of the concept, there's a lot of other factors...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    What a man. I can assure you that he's considered one of the biggest legends in Jiu jitsu and martial arts. A lot of things in his book find a clearer explanation once you practice the actual discipline. I had the honour of training under one of his black belts for 3 years. It made me a better...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    You nailed it. It's terrible. It's as if they didn't design the homes for winter at all. Most buildings are very old and have terrible heat insulation. Even updating the windows is not enough. I had to get used to dress a lot at home, use a small heater if I'm working at a desk, things like...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Very interesting map, but sun and temperature are two very different things and don't always go along. Plus, there's humidity that plays a factor as well like McAdam said. I'm originally from Venice Italy. Great summers, gloomy winter (it's a thing in the northern part). Beach culture...

    Innovating in the tiny house space

    REAL ESTATE 
    Here's a few ideas that I just had, some are not technology related but more focused around the functions and benefits to the target audience: - tiny patio and integration with the surrounding environment - tiny homes designed for specific locations (the woods, the beach, etc) - fully energy...

    Great to hear your story and excited for what you're going to do in the future. Welcome

    Your business ideas are failing, here is why.

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Great concept. I used this widely but just called it low-fidelity prototyping. It's a great creative exercise. In physical product design the recipe is usually very simple: prototype as soon as possible, spending as little time and money as possible on every round of iteration while still being...

    Advice/Feedback on an idea (reposted)

    IDEA 
    A few things come to mind. As it's been said, do the math and check how big this opportunity can be. Try to talk to wedding planners and people in this industry to receive more precise feedback. Try to speak to your potential customers to understand and empathise with them more - find a...
