Jul 15 @jasoncbenn Hidden topics was a feature I was playing around with but haven't ended up using. Categories are added when a card is added - looks like this. https://t.co/HJJRoVZS6c 2 0 0 0 178 .
Jul 15 I built a thing that I'm using to collect and categorize tweets, blog posts, videos and podcasts I find around the internet. A cool second order effect is that using it regularly has kind of surfaced my interest graph. https://t.co/VTnooLdmfE 12 0 0 0 242 .
Jul 15 I don't know him personally, but I feel like more people should follow @edelwax. He's thinking deeply and writing thoughtfully about the truly important problems. https://t.co/M1lfvqW4Jo 3 0 0 0 186 .
Jul 14 @CasJam What’s your timeline for this? Need to check how it would work with Jekyll but we’ve built the drop-in functionality you’re looking for https://t.co/nzydQ7KEAk 0 0 0 0 167 .
Jul 14 @Conaw Surprised not to see this in there - https://t.co/y32J5Fybku Looks super powerful but maybe not suited to what you're looking for. 1 0 0 0 137 .
Jul 12 It's true. Very few people who can compete with @peteromallet in terms of ingenuity and applied experience. https://t.co/O0mN91fnDj 6 0 0 0 131 .
Jul 11 @robwalling hey Rob, enjoyed your piece on pricing on the @indiehackers podcast. I'm starting to see the add-on model pop up more and more (most recently with @crisp_im & @Cloudflare - wondering if you know of any resources that go deep using base + add-on pricing? 1 0 0 0 269 .
Jul 10 @apotonick https://t.co/oxYKU7KtF4 is a nice hybrid of digital ocean/cloud66. Still a little rough around the edges but quicker and cheaper than the alternatives I’ve seen 2 0 0 0 171 .

Jul 08 @visakanv What are the things? I've hired 4 people this year (3 devs & VA) and have a workflow that's working super well for me but specific to software & personal admin - I'd guess we have similar issues related to Executive function/prioritisation. Happy to chat if you like. 1 0 0 0 285 .
Jul 07 @yongfook This is pretty much my thinking with https://t.co/HafcfFny8I. We already have APIs for identity, payments, search etc. We want to build the de-facto API for content, or the "Stripe for content". 2 0 0 0 204 .

Jul 06 Wow, this, from @ralphammer is one of the best pieces of online writing I've ever seen, and a great example of what writing in an interactive medium could be. One concept at a time, short sentences, pictures that paint a thousand words. https://t.co/1SU0KOeoDH cc @david_perell 3 0 0 0 277 .
Jul 05 Doing more thinking about this, hoping to turn it into a blog post/call to arms for someone to finally build a great browser-based IDE. First 50% drafted - would appreciate feedback. https://t.co/1w72tQToy2 https://t.co/zIdUoY7jai 8 0 0 0 230 .

Jul 03 I’ve been wrangling CMSes for 10 years and thinking about how seamless and magic it *could* feel if we had the right tools. Finally getting to see those ideas become real. How cool is this? Add a collection, add content, copy-paste code, edit inline 🚀 https://t.co/AIuCZiXGA1 8 0 0 0 275 .
Jul 01 ④ Version Control: The “v1-final-final.doc” problem has now been solved for both word processing (Gdocs/Notion) and image processing (Figma). It’s crazy that the software world is still content with git - an inferior experience in almost every way. 9 0 0 0 248 .

Jun 22 @Conaw @RoamResearch Hey Conor. Now that the UX for having one private and one public graph is usable, can you make it clear to users that sharing a single page inside a graph will in fact expose that entire graph to the public? This seems like a big privacy issue currently. Thanks! 4 0 0 0 283 .
Jun 19 One of the downsides of the twitter outrage machine is that, because the ratio of trolls to genuinely principled outspoken people is so high, people can no longer tell the difference between the two. I disagree with a lot of what @dhh says, but I think he's in the latter category https://t.co/NBMKpTFFGl 3 0 0 0 304 .
Jun 18 @bentossell No way to do it using multi ref fields but probably possible via the api with a relationship table. 1 0 0 0 111 .
Jun 18 It’s kind of crazy that we built an interactive medium capable of communicating in an infinite number of ways, and still words-and-sentences are the go-to tool for describing all concepts.

May 25 @panphora Hey David, really enjoying your working with the garage door open.

Apr 21 Reposting this as I jumped the gun last week. Ondeck 4 is now accepting applications. I'm on batch 3, which is happening completely online.

Apr 18 @AnnaLeptikon @weebly The second link has "www." before it, which means the "www" subdomain is set up correctly but the naked domain isn't. You'll need to add an A record with your registrar that points to weebly, similar to the CNAME you likely already had to set up. Weebly should have docs on it. 1 0 0 0 299 .

Apr 14 Further update. Last week I launched Editmode on ProductHunt. We want to make it ridiculously easy to edit content on the web, and to remove the engineering dependency for making simple content changes to websites and web apps. https://t.co/DxUUQSeuG5 https://t.co/GnSM1BEVI1 45 9 0 0 275 .

Mar 09 This is positioned as “Hiring companies have unrealistic expectations”. An alternate framing is “Look at the insane amount of skills needed to build crudware” which is what a lot of these companies are using these hires for. https://t.co/m6UBrAtSUW 9 1 0 0 248 .
