Same here, I have kids, and used to show them legal content on Youtube. Now I download everything because YouTube was showing horror movie ads between episodes.

I have the Xperia Z3C, it lasts 48 hours.

My issue with cheaper phones is: I don't mind it being slow, I don't mind it having a bad display. But I do mind the camera quality. I take a lot of pictures (multiple a day) which I treasure because it's pictures of my kids. But I hate having a camera with me, so my phone has to have a good camera. There aren't cheap phones with good cameras.

As someone who left the valley. I think not. I think we are the lucky ones. The valley is only useful for VCs and having an enourmous choice of startups. But honestly life is better away from it. Unless you can afford a 3M$ house.

I don't think this is the first time I see this type of concept (not sure).

One thing is, you'll have to get a ton of users at start. Unless people start actively using it everywhere, everyone will slowly stop using it because there will be no content. I do believe it will be hard to achieve.

The idea is great, good luck!

I love Trello but I use it for myself (I don't share it with anyone else). I am using it for personal projects and work. But I wouldn't be really interested by a such analytic tool (probably because of my usage). Not really information that would help me improve productivity.

As a Millennial with a 2200 sqft house, a job and no student loans I don't feel the same way.

But I guess in some way I was lucky (no student loans because I studied in an international school, which was much cheaper). And housing because I moved to a cheap area and telecommute to a company in Silicon Valley.

Don't try to get money while you are 16. At least if you don't need it badly. Build stuff, you'll learn so much more. I am 27 and two kids, getting paid a lot but I regret the time where I could spend hours on my own project. Now if I have an hour per week I am happy.

Strangely, my only hobby is programming. I program during the day, and then when I have some free time I like to program some more. But it can be very different programming, mobile instead of web etc...

Why do I still enjoy programming after doing it for a whole day? I like to be creative, and working for someone limits my creativity. Programming for myself allows me to create projects in a complete different way.

I was able to operate the Nexus 5 even with one hand. (my hands aren't too big). But I had to get a slim case, the heavy case was too big for it.

After a year I dropped the phone for the 700th hundred time and it broke, now I got the Xperia Z3 Compact.

I do agree with you, I never want a phone I can't fully operate with one hand. I often can only use one hand (the other carries a kid, or a kid bike or something kid related).

Yea my rate is the same too. I've lived in many places, and only in Canada I had variable rate.

Well it's meant only for the American Market (no 4G elsewhere and calls very expensive). So that Americans traveling aboard don't have to pay insane amounts of money.

I for example have to get a new sim card each time I travel to a new country, it is a pain. With Google I can just keep their plan, and not worry about getting a local sim card. Most americans don't travel for an entire month, so we have to pay our monthly plan anyways. This just allows us to use our phone for free without paying extra in other countries.
