It seems one of the biggest business issues is site visitor perception. I have a couple questions please.

What's your opt-rate rate so far out of the sites that have shown this option?

do you have any real data regarding hidden cost to a site visitor? like power consumption A/B testing or something?

That's a very real problem I totally forgot. We could do the same thing and have a small team of interns + mentor do maintenance mode work.... but not exactly exciting. I don't know. Any idea?

You can buy all sorts of Chinese phones (with dual SIM) directly from China online on sites like Aliexpress.com. The thing is, US uses weird 3G frequencies or something from the rest of the world.

I bought my 3G MTK phone a year ago on Aliexpress.com. It worked fine perfectly while I was living in Europe. Then I came over and now I'm always on Edge network and network speed is significantly slower.

do you have a few minute to chat in the next few weeks? drop me an email please [email protected]

yes, a large part of it is figuring out the problems and where are the lower hanging fruits and what resources are needed.

I'd love to hear of your experience.

lots of great suggestions here! I'll reach out to local schools, bootcamps, etc. to get some feedback

what student would get is a tech mentor and a chance to solve real problem with a good cause. wouldn't that be a competitive selling point vs. a paid internship with perhaps a few thousand dollars? Perhaps I'm being naive / optimistic?

good question, I edited post to clarify.

not yet, but probably eventually. I'll start with just doing it for a project first to test out the model. I have a nonprofit on board with needs. I have connections with developers. I can find an intern. I can get most of it in place but lack time and experience (haven't done this before). So I want your help to iron out the model as much as possible to not waste time.

that depends. to pay students I would need to source funding too. that is doable but does add another level of barrier to get things going. I'll probably start with finding unpaid to get a few batch going, gain momentum, then if all is well, we can start looking for funding.
