Thank you for doing that. We're all better off with people who use their good fortune to help others in need.

It's mentioned in the article (reference to Tupac song)

Agreed - quite a shock to realize the type of person who is now in charge (haven't kept up to date on leadership here)

Funny how serious / loner type people often open up when you ask them to help spot your bench press. At least that's been my experience, that moment of them helping you out at your vulnerable time somehow lowers the guard / the friction to chatting

Growing up always thought about the thought experiment of how aliens would treat us compared with how we treat our fellow sentient beings in the animal kingdom (I couldn't find a good answer and stopped consuming animals). Now with a potential for AGI and perhaps sentient AI in coming years or decades, those philosophical questions suddenly become a lot more pressing

What startup deliberately builds back doors to siphon away customer funds with the knowledge of only the founders, and deliberately misleads internal finance folks.

Who "lends" customer funds without any documentation to let founders buy multi million dollar property in their own personal names

This isn't messy, move fast break things of a startup, it's fraud

Can it be for week or month instead of current day?

Nice but this would be better as an app with notifications.. hard to remember to return daily to a website

We're meant to be the new product guys and come up with the new ideas, asking users to come up with new product suggestions is a recipe for a product that does a lot and not well.

In a past web forum I used to admin the users would ask for a million different things and if we implemented them all it would have been chaos.

At the end of the day someone has to have a creaive vision and see it executed, even if it only does one thing.. but does it really well..

Good to see real numbers in these sort of articles..

But let’s face it - users are never going to tell you what they need...or what you should build.

Shouldn’t they have spent more time building a great product first - before launching it? Those retention numbers to me say the product wasn’t working.

I doubt Apple asked any users for input when coming up with the iPhone.

Nice write up. Interesting how you discovered a different use case with the tech and ran with it

Good question - we see a lot of value in our tool, hence are leaning towards paid rather than free plans ala basecamp or zendesk. We're also bootstrapped so really focussed on bringing in revenue earlier..
