Thanks for the response!

I worked as a product designer at Policygenius on their home/auto product. I was pretty obsessed with automating it so people would actually get their quotes instantly and I remember the challenges of being able to pull the accurate quotes with the info people could reasonably provide vs paying Lexisnexus etc. anyway it’s a slog. How are you guys getting quotes? And how have you thought about the acquired user challenge that they want to reshop but obviously insurers don’t want to pay you to lose their customers every 12mos ?

I get the impression they’re doing this for the network that OpenRouter has built, something like 8 million devs on one side and hundreds of services on the other side. If more and more software will be built this way then it’s a good bet this will grow into trillions in transaction volume and Stripe can own a percent like Visa and Mastercard and any network.

There were fintechs that did this, I think yotta and one other that was acquired by a big bank. I think it was (is?) popular but if I remember correctly they lost customer funds because of Synapses failure and the way the customer funds were organized they weren’t insured.

I think the comment you are responding to meant that sarcastically.

The author said “god damn” once or twice whereas you just amended your comment to add a sentence containing “shit”. Not sure I understand your logic.

Very cool! But I think there’s a cap on social security, it said I paid much more towards that than I did.

Very cool! Any links to posts about some of them?

Can you expand on the USDC friction piece?

No mention of pets in the article, beyond the photo, so your comment is unnecessarily spiteful. I'm not a pet owner, nor a DINK for the record.

Nice work! My local coffee shop uses square but I for some reason never redeem the stars, my wine shop has a physical punch card that I sometimes forget in my wallet when going. Seems like there’s room for experimentation in the area.

Very cool!

That’s what I am holding on to.

Would love a link to the demo if and when you’re open to sharing. I’m a product designer but not looking for projects, I’m mostly curious - this is one of the more unique ideas I’ve heard.

It's possible the OP was just trying out different storefronts and either doesn't have finalized assets or doesn't want to pull them up to try it out. When publishing or going live I agree with you, but in my experience most sitebuilders/storefronts have a draft / unpublished version - in which case uploading logos/product images/favicons/etc - isn't necessary until going live.
