    Testing for App Concept - Thoughts?

    IDEA 
    Sounds like you've already validated that you like using habit trackers, but you want one that makes it easy to share your progress to social networks. I'd say figure out the fastest and cheapest way to make a prototype. I'd probably do something like build an add-on or service to integrate...

    Note Taking

    MINDSET 
    Don't try to create a reference to all of the material covered in a video. Instead your notes should be a higher-level encoding of core concepts as you relate to them. Try visual notetaking, such as in the books "Sketchnote Handbook", "Pencil Me In" and others. There are plenty of people...

    Lon1776 here to learn, grow, be profitable, build family empire

    INTRO 
    hey brother, great to see you here! "more than average number of children" + FLF books for Christmas sounds like the foundation for a scalable income XD

    Forum home page layout

    Yea, the new design is not great on mobile either. I think it's probably better for successful sites to never change their design. I find myself visiting the site and then quickly feeling frustrated and closing it.

    Great YouTube channel of book summaries

    MINDSET 
    The creator of these videos, Nathan, is a good guy. One of the things I love about this video format is how much easier it is to share, versus convincing someone to read a book. I was annoyed that none of my co-workers had read Peter Drucker, so I sent them to the Productivity Game summary.

    Figuring out explainer videos

    EXECUTION 
    I actually reached out to Nathan from Productivity Game a couple years ago and ended up creating ePub versions of all of his PDF book summaries for him. He does a great job at this style of video and is one of my go to sources for s book summaries. I think he actually got some of his email...

    Figuring out explainer videos

    EXECUTION 
    I've been working on my video production skills for the past several weeks. My videos are mostly a stream-style layout where I screencast with a facecam in the corner, or talking head + slides (I switch back and forth while recording using OBS scenes). I am also interested in doing these type...

    Crypto and NFT's are not for you.

    HOT! CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I was going to Bitcoin meetups in Austin 10 years ago and we were complaining back then that Bitcoin was too mainstream. Too many dumb people only interested in speculation and not in the actual technology. Maybe it's ok for other people, but playing the lottery is not for me, I prefer to...

    AWS vs GCP vs Bluehost for wordpress

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Using AWS or GCP for WordPress sounds insane to me. There are WP hosts like WPEngine and there are a million VPS providers where you can get a more powerful machine at a lower cost than a managed solution like GoDaddy. Just hire a WordPress guy to install and setup on a VPS. Stay away from...

    How to write a job ad

    PEOPLE 
    I’m chatting with a friend right now who is trying to hire a junior developer. He sent me the Upwork post he is using and it’s terrible. I won’t post his ad copy here, but you can just browse Upwork and find plenty of ads that follow the same lines: If I’m a programmer browsing job ads, I...

    Extreme inconsistency. Any ideas??

    HOT! IDEA 
    Move out on your own, pay your own rent, get a job doing something real - construction would be ideal. Engage in the real world and act like a F*cking man. Once you've made it into the real world, try to figure out what actually motivates you. If you can lay around and jerk off for a week...

    Hiring web developers with no coding skills

    Depending on your app, AirTable is a good start, and then Zapier to wire together any other services you need.

    Hiring web developers with no coding skills

    Great reply from @OverByte I will just reiterate the first point in that post: GET THE DEVELOPER TO BUILD THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE. If you're MVP will take 7-10 days it's already too big IMO.

    What ideas have you seen in the Gaming (Video, Board, etc) niche?

    IDEA 
    There are also apps that compliment games, e.g. GifYourGame, item trading platforms, training apps like aim trainers, replay analysis, and of course Discord. Coaching is also a thing. You probably can't over take Twitch, but you could have a run at a coaching platform like GamerReady. There is...

    Thoughts on Specialized Skill to learn.

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    The problem is that SE Asia dominates time and scale in manufacturing. In North America the value is in Entry, e.g. doing super high-end 5-axis milling of curved surfaces with mirror finishes for prosthetic joints. The shop I was in made parts for super-conductor and aerospace industries, and...
