    Canva is the F*cking GOAT in Design

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's still a lot to be desired with this technology as a whole. But I'd imagine in the next year we'll see some massive improvements

    Canva is the F*cking GOAT in Design

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Canva's great, but tech is evolving so rapidly that it'll probably get eaten up very soon. In this case, instead of the easy drag-and-drop, a service will come along that'll do everything for you with a single prompt. Dead simple is being killed by dead, dead simple.

    Just noticed TikTok seems to have been revamped – we finally have the option to add website links and lead forms are now supported. Maybe this was always the case? Who knows. On the down-side, I've noticed that tags don't mean jackshit anymore. Remember the good old days when they...

    Self-Promotion: Post Your Offer, Products, or Services! (2025-26)

    MARKETPLACE 
    Anybody who enjoys lifting, please let me know if you'd like to be an Alpha tester for my new web-app. The first 250 users get free life-time access - provided it's met well enough to charge money for it. Been trying Discord, but a lot of people are rightfully skeptical. Figured I might have...

    Nice work, Logesh. Little things like a domain and professional email go a long way. Just get your work done. There's still time in your day for leisure, just don't become hedonistic.

    Did I get bad advice? (Physical product thread)

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Shopify has a test mode function that declines (and logs) attempted payments. This is what I used to validate my product. Yup. Hard validation (an attempt to transfer cash) is King. Of course, you'll still need to nurture warm leads etc. Give up the role of an entrepreneur for a bit. You're...

    Did I get bad advice? (Physical product thread)

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Let people pre-order it, or do something I've done in the past: pretend you have the product, list it for sale and see how many people actually attempt to put in their card details. If they do so, just display an "Oops error" page. Make sure these attempted payments are logged. This is called...

    Failure is An Asset: My Execution Thread.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Worked in massive blocks this week to get the web-app up and running. I've shared it with a few gym-goers on discord and iterated based on their feedback. I've also used this for myself while in the gym. And honestly? It's been a game-changer, but still some bugs to iron out. Got myself a...

    Thoughts on this handwriting postcard for local services

    MARKETING 
    It's definitely a humanising approach, but I feel like I'd just throw it aside with the other junk-mail. Grab some trinkets from Alibaba, such as little plastic Snow Shovels and put it in an envelope alongside your letter. Just be careful, because their overwhelming curiosity might lead them...

    Even better, that'll motivate you to invest in another book-shelf! Jokes aside, I actually somewhat do the same thing. For random autobiographies etc. I'll usually get the Audiobook. If an audiobook gives me value, I'll always go and buy the physical book. I love having a bookshelf, but I...

    New Here - Here is what I am doing to get ahead and my struggles.

    INTRO 
    Hey, this is something I also grapple with. I believe that becoming successful is to show God the beauty of his creation. But like anything, there's ALWAYS ulterior motives, such as wanting to gloat, or gain a sense of superiority over your peers. It all boils down to man's battle with his...

    Oh, I heard of it. Glad I gave it a miss (more reasons why down below)... Thanks for the recommendation. I jumped into Snowball because I wanted to learn the mind behind the success. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but the man is extremely uninteresting outside his investing success. In saying...

    Reddit could be good, maybe even discord. Just be careful: both platforms usually have ridiculously overweight admins who love banning people for little or no reason. As such, you'll need to be careful with how you communicate your offer. Building an email list for businesses/content creators...

    CDs are awesome. The nostalgia of visiting a record shop is blissful. There's really nothing like physical media. For reading, I never understood the whole Kindle thing; there's nothing like having a shelf full of books to browse through. Makes me feel like a wizard.

    I was reminded of a phenomenon I've noticed on the forum today whilst messing around with my web-app. While running some tests to ensure my database was working correctly, my girlfriend turned around and asked: "What happens if your database gets full?" Now, first off? That's a very good...

    Revamped the jittershield.com website. The vision from the start was always to make a powerful flavor-enhancing tablet, fused with L-Theanine. As such, the website is now transparent and reflects the need for further capital to make this happen. My manufacturer is extremely confident they can...
