P.P.S The highlighted "people" in the headline hurts my eyes.

This is cool and seems to have a nice flow to it. Not as data intensive as Crunchbase making it easier to read for general knowledge / trivia about a company / product.
I think CB is more focused on the finer details of a company for people to make business decisions.
How are you curating the database? I have been kicking around FinTECH Report http://www.fintechreport.info for a while now but curation is just such a de-motivator for me.
I was hoping that the respective owners/managers of a product might "take ownership" of the listings and manage them... I would love to hear how you solve for that.
P.S. I looked up Twitter and Biz Stone wasn't in the founder list. I'm sorry i'm not motivated to sign up and fix it. Honestly, i'm just not bothered to help out as a site visitor....but... I would hold it against the site if it missed such critical details as that. (Not trying to be harsh, just honest realistic feedback, if that's ok). :)
Good work though and interested to see where it goes.

It's screen scraping as TFL don't offer an API for this unfortunately. Would that put you off?

I agree but it seems difficult. I am not really involved in many communities and most don't like to be spammed with links.
My other idea https://www.chronodaq.com is a private marketplace for professional watch dealers, like a stock exchange. It is ultra difficult to speak to that domain as it is a conservative business. I ultimately need to ask people about their business process for sourcing, trading and valuing watches which is somewhat proprietary.
I'm kind of stumped on how to get real validation on that one to be honest. There are proven businesses for diamonds such as polygon.net but I need to talk to people.
Oyster Alerts is easy and has the most engagement now so I think that is going to be my focus and get an MVP out the door.

This is interesting..
That said, only social logins are supported so I am out.
I refuse to login with the likes of Google, Facebook et al.
email/pwd for me and if that doesn't exist I can't enter...
If you manage to implement a regular signup flow let me know.
Tweet me on @conor_hackett
Cheers and good luck with the project.

I prefer same type design as opposed to going off piste..
In fact, if I want to leard about something or somebody I will often choose Wikipedia primarily over something else because I know it's format and can get straight to digesting the information I came for.
(The issue of me using a crowdsourced platform as a prioritised source of something else for a different discussion)

Hello
I am the creator of Chrono Weeky.
Apart from the pretence attached in modern day.. I find watches interesting. The history attached to models and the fact that each one was built with a specific problem to be solved is something I enjoy reading about. Perhaps others will too.. and so this news letter was born.
From the website:
"Chrono Weekly curates watch news and trivia from around the web.
Every Tuesday we will send you selected headlines from the industry along with some interesting data and trivia on a selected watch. There will also be a few interesting articles to read in your spare time."
My inspiration for this was Go Lang weekly and Better Dev (https://yeo.space)
Thank you
P.S. The rules say signup pages aren't allowed as they can't be tried out. I don't think newsletter signups fit into this as you need to go on the list to receive the newsletter. Happy to be corrected by moderators.
P.P.S Since the first issue is coming on the Tuesday, there are no previous issues to read on the website but they will be made available.
