ahahah. nice one! I mostly use it to fill voids of time instead of engaging in social media "doom scrolling".

true. I think that was what threw me off in the beginning - it being a potluck of random article, sites, info, and news that didn't have the organization/categorization present in other types of community-driven sites. I will explore it a bit more, as I have found useful and interesting topics to me, they just usually are further down the list (kinda like nuggets of gold imo). thanks for the insight!

thanks. that's a great way of putting it. Especially about it being a good place for feedback and critique (vs marketing as an intent).

Wow... Canny. I actually recommended my team to use your tool and integrate it into the ecosystem of a SaaS startup I work with. I'm a marketer looking for new challenges and a product with potential to support. Will apply. However, I just saw this position has been open for 2 weeks already on LinkedIn - hopefully I'm not too late.

Anyway, thanks for mentioning it on here, Andrew!

Thanks for the clarification, John. Totally agree! Gotta add the "kill your babies" mantra to my philosophy moving forward. Glad to learn something new everyday on here. Thanks!

interesting, would you mind sharing what character flaws specifically? and how early did these start to show up?

Thanks John - it makes a lot of sense, the way you put it. I guess oftentimes founders (and I'm guilty of this as well) tend to pedestalize their product/company as if it were their own baby (especially if it started out as a "passion project" they'd work on as an escape from their corporate job), and may dread having to diversify.

But practicality above all. As you said, "the world is a fickle place".

100% this is a big one, I'm sure.

Thanks for your answer. Rising up one more time than when one falls is needed for success indeed.

So from what I'm understanding, we should never just have one product. What about focusing on one product but then continuously developing it with new features and use cases?
