Thanks for making this. We used co-screen so much that when you shut down, we had to build our own.

We used this in 2011 at the startup I worked for. 20 positive and 20 negative words was good enough to sell Twitter "sentiment analysis" to companies like Apple, Bentley, etc...

I’m just here for the confirmation bias, but seriously as others have noted this study was funded by an organization that benefits from this headline being true.

I've been an iOS developer since 2009 and after reading this, it felt like Prime Day; A bunch of stuff, but nothing I wanted.

Just a side note. I’m actually working on building a remote team and when I went to your profile, the link in there was dead. How do people casually browsing your profile discover what you’ve worked on and learn more about you?

You're a true 10x developer.

I sold the site to Toptal 2 years ago, but trust me I had donate buttons, crypto donate buttons, I messaged multiple big tech firms that used my project to ask for sponsorships, I ran ads using carbon. I tried a lot of things over the 7 years of running it and lots of the avenues failed or didn't generate enough revenue.

Now I understand that the project was not that valuable but it would have been nice if I could have run it as a lifestyle business.
