Those photos do a great job illustrating what his situation looked like.

Here's to hoping he finds his two friends after all these years!

I appreciate this on the S1 filing threads where you can get some deep anecdotal insights on companies that you would have otherwise never been able to find through research.

Just wanna say we love using Mercury, and it's really the perfect bank for startups.

We also experienced the personal balance privacy issue where we didn't expect to see each other's balances but was too late by then.

Looks pretty awesome. I am a fan of the Personal Capital product, but am not their customer due to a really poor experience with trying out their paid/banking services.

I'm curious what makes you guys different from Personal Capital?

Hey Mike, this looks really interesting -- nice work! We're going to try it out to follow 'referral software' topics. Any tips/advice you can give us? I've already created a new Track for that keyword set.

That is incredibly alarming. Very reminiscent of WeWork and Regus. Only time will tell if it's a bubble that will burst.

That said, I'd really love to know what I'm missing or overlooking here, as GrubHub/Seamless being 30% the value of DoorDash feels waaay off here.

Having used both extensively, the answer is as simple as one is private/hosted and the other is open/self-hosting.

Heroku is easy, but expensive. Dokku is more work/management, but cost-effective.

This really piqued my interest, and so I took a look closer into the examples used:

1. Website examples: Twitter.com, Etsy.com, and Spotify.com signup forms don't use any off-white.

2. The visual examples provided are apples to oranges. Removing an input field and adding more padding were the factors that made the 'right-side examples' more visually appealing

> Ideally it should have nothing to do with Atlassian.

I'm curious, what do you have against Atlassian?

This is awesome. After years of being a dedicated Dropbox customer, I changed my cloud to Google Drive last year. The migration alone took more than a week, and I've been miserable ever since.

The Google Drive sync product is a third-class citizen compared to Dropbox, and I no longer view personal cloud storage as commodities, as was the original reason I switched over.

Great question -- I'd also like to know this

Could you expand on some of these points? For example, has there been new construction material of which the long-term effects are unknown, or has there been new architectural design methods?

Or were you saying that as a blanketed statement of opinion

Wow, this is nice. Going through the front-end path briefly, I realize I know most of these things, and it is because of gradual exposure and necessity in a tool.

I remember as a freshman in college, when I decided to first learn the basics of web development, I saw an intimidating roadmap like this one (though that was for full-stack). Back then, I would have never dreamed of making it even a quarter way through the list.

If there's a Robinhood for index fund investing, I am in. I think a lot of retail investors (myself included) lack a mainstream resource that pushes for stock diversification investments, having to resort to manual research.

I know Robinhood and <insert any other brokerage> supports this, but a centralized platform dedicated to index and mutual funds that focuses on them out of the box might make sense.
