    I had a problem, then I built a solution. Here's a demo.

    All very good points. We've talked to a good number of people over the past few days and we think we're going to look over everyone's feedback and tweak our offering. I'll be back to post again in a week or two.

    I appreciate you taking the time to reply me. That's a good question, nice and straight to the point. Let me give it a shot. Example - Marketing Campaign Management A typical small business might have any number of marketing campaigns going on. The employees of a company will need to know how...

    No worries, I'm not taking any offence at all. This is good because obviously it means I'm not communicating the value properly. I should be apologizing for that, I'm still learning. I don't know if this makes sense, but "posts" are first-class objects. That means that everything needs to be...

    No this is more for design agencies or small teams that need to do research. Basically any time when you have a small group of people constantly sharing links with each other on a daily basis and discussing them as well.

    That's what I'm trying to figure out. It's a scratch your own itch idea, but I know there's a demand out there just from all the existing competitors: Slack, HipChat, Gibbon, etc.

    But I appreciate your replies. That means we over-emphasized a feature and under-emphasized other features.

    Maybe I should take the emphasis out from the split screen view. The real value we want to provide is being able to organize chat-like comments under each link. Meaning that links are first-class objects, and that every discussion you have with your team is going to be tied to a particular...

    I talk about it in this blog post: https://medium.com/@adrianli/how-i-read-one-thousand-articles-to-get-my-startup-idea-233fdab8a031 There's also a video demo of the prototype at the end of that post. We got the idea initially from trying to scratch our own itch and we know that there must be...

    Thanks for the reply. Maybe I wasn't being clear in my original post, but the guide will actually be free.

    A Guide to Building Landing Pages for Coders

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    A friend of mine is creating a guide for building landing pages. For a lot of programmers, Wordpress just seems too heavy and it would be a lot more simple to have just one HTML file to deal with. He wants to gauge whether or not there will be interest because he plans to offer the guide for...

    FIRST BUSINESS: Connecting Small Businesses in the Food Industry with Food Bloggers

    EXECUTION 
    This is the first time I'm charging on day one. I've been browsing this forum for quite a while and could never get to the stage where I felt comfortable charging on day one due to inexperience. A few months ago, a couple friends and I got together and we finally hashed something out. The idea...

    What to do when tired/sleepy/sick?

    Sometimes, your body is just not up to the task of doing something focused. Whenever I'm sick or sometimes after a very huge meal-induced food coma, I find it virtually impossible to read anything more than a sentence or two let alone write code or a blog post. I was wondering what productive...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So the experiment with functional programming is over. I pushed my way through a book on combinatory logic as well as 70% of the tutorial for Haskell and I eventually realized that I was wasting a lot of time not building something. I also read on Derek Sivers' blog an article that talked about...

    [Free Giveaway] The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod

    BOOKS 
    Absolutely amazing. I've been doing it for about 4 weeks now. I travelled to Asia, and will be here for the next few months so I was off my schedule for a week or so (constant travelling into different timezones), but now that I'm settled I'm waking up at 4:30am every single day. I started with...

    Learn Linux The Hard Way http://37.200.69.165/llthw This looks like a nice Unix tutorial, although I am not sure if you'd gain much productivity by going through the whole thing in full detail. It's a nice reference to have, and I guess it would be good to go through it if I end up having extra...

    Thanks for the link and kind wishes! Yeah, grokking functional languages is super hard for those of us who have been imperative for so long. I found reading SICP and also The Little Schemer really helped a lot (in case you ever want to get into it again). That being said, using CoffeeScript will...

    Diving into Code - all help and criticism welcome

    EXECUTION 
    I echo this statement, but I would recommend a hybrid approach. I never used any programming books for the longest time, and did perfectly fine (was able to get programming jobs, etc.). However, when I started reading books alongside building things, I felt like I was locking down good practices...

    I find myself getting off track because I'm kind of ADD with the things I want to learn. So I should really set out clear short-term goals here so that I make sure I don't stray. For the next 2 weeks, I aim to: Finish The Unix Programming Environment (as mentioned above) Finish The Advanced...

    The *New* Endangered Species... Your Job.

    HOT! 
    Great post, but I just wanted to ask. How can YOU prove that you are "aware" of yourself? This is taken from the movie Transcendence, where some humans ask the AI "Can you prove that you are self-aware?" and the AI responds, "Can you?"
