Hey HN,
I've been working on a little side project and could really use your feedback.
So, I've always been fascinated by those stories of successful startups doing crazy things in their early days - you know, like Airbnb founders personally photographing listings or DoorDash founders delivering food themselves.
I started collecting these stories, and before I knew it, I had a pretty big list. So I thought, "Why not turn this into a website?" And that's how https://dothingsthatdontscale.org was born.
It's super basic right now - just a simple directory with about 70 examples. But I'm wondering if this could be useful for other founders or startup enthusiasts.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
> Is this something you'd find helpful? Why or why not?
> What would make this more useful for you?
> Is it easy to use? (I'm not good at design)
> Am I missing any awesome stories that should be included?
I'm not trying to monetize this or anything - just want to create something helpful for the community. Any feedback, criticism, or ideas would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks in advance, you awesome people!
