I run www.ColonyContent.com and we actually write premium content for SaaS businesses and content sites. We are really lucky to work with some really amazing startups and websites that are changing the world and have been profitable since day one. Only in the second month of business but are over $1k MRR and we have had a lot of great feedback.
Have you ever driven without getting a full night's sleep? Wouldn't you consider that the same kind of offense since it reduces your reaction time and focus?
I'd like to see some data on the increased risks of driving while under the influence of marijuana before I lump it in with alcohol but saying that ANY reduction in focus or coordination means you are a threat to other drivers doesn't seem rational as long as you are still above a minimum threshold.
"Acute cannabis consumption nearly doubles the risk of a collision resulting in serious injury or death; this increase was most evident for studies of high quality, case-control studies, and studies of fatal collisions" - https://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e536
I don't hate weed. Quite the contrary! But the whole point of a smoke is to put you in a different place and that place is not conducive to the safety of those around you while steering two tons of metal at 70MPH. I'll take us off on a different and probably unpopular tangent - if you say that marijuana makes absolutely no difference to your baseline judgement, reflexes, focus, etc... then you might be hitting the pipe a bit too often (i.e., massive tolerance and habituation) and it's maybe time to consider scaling back.
My cofounder and I wanted to use a monthly service to write articles for our existing online business with the ultimate goal of growing it over time but couldn't find one that felt like the right fit. Either they were too expensive, didn't have high quality sample articles, or they didn't create a content strategy and relied on you to come up with keywords and topics (ain't nobody got time for that!).
So we decided to launch our own and create the service we envisioned. At Colony we take control of the entire process for business owners. We do long term content strategy, keyword research, and deliver content entirely on autopilot so busy entrepreneurs can stop worrying about their blog and focus on more important business tasks. Meanwhile we are hard at work helping them drive traffic, boost SEO, and increase sales.
Hey guys! So my lead gen service Feastflow has been running for about 3 months now and since launching we've been getting great feedback from the community that they wanted us to expand our categories. So with our v2 we have gone from just Fullstack freelance leads to support Frontend and Designers leads as well. If you are a freelance developer or designer and want to get 5-10 remote projects with a $5k+ budget feel free to try us out!
When we first launched https://www.Feastflow.com, a handcrafted lead gen service for freelance developers, we didn't offer a free trial or a money back guarantee and we got a lot of feedback that it was necessary. This might be a different perspective since we are a subscription service but having a "no questions asked" 30 day refund policy has definitely boosted our conversion and led to a much larger userbase. We found that our biggest sticking point was getting a user to give us a try and after experiencing the quality of our leads there is very little chance they ask for a refund.
It started when we both spent months building and optimizing a pipeline for getting freelance clients. After we started seeing growth results in our own freelance businesses we decided to launch Feastflow and help other fullstack programmers hear about more project leads. We’ve just finished our second month and made our first $1k which has been very exciting. In 2019 we want to add new project alerts for front end projects as well as launch a Slack channel for our members to share stories and resources.
Hey guys I developed Feastflow as a way to help fullstack freelancers make more money and get more clients. I sift through hundreds of leads per day to find the handful that make it onto the list. All of the leads are projects with a budget of 5k+ and have an email attached so you can reach out right from your inbox. This allows you to add thousands of dollars per month to your bottom line without having to spend the hours to find these elusive leads.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I am always trying to learn and improve the experience.

Thats hilarious! The last hackathon I was in went similarly: we built an ML-powered sign language app and lost to something a team copied from an Instructable lol
