Awesome. Very heart-warming to learn your story of success. Shows real businesses which solves a definite pain point (that has deep conviction) can be built without external capital.
I found one issue though. I had signed up with just my email and captcha and when I attempt to login on a different browser, it again sends an email with the activation link. It's a bold attempt, but I would rather remember my Password than typing in the captcha and waiting for the activation mail to come, every single time.
Yeah, still working out the details for email-only login.
The biggest pain is that opening a link from email usually creates a new tab, so you end up having two windows open. The new window should show you as logged-in, but the previous window doesn't auto-update yet (it should soon).
The other tricky part (and annoyance) is wait for mail and making sure it opens in your preferred browser.
The big upside is that we don't need to hold on to anyone's password, and assuming you use some form of webmail, it has the possibility to be pretty seamless. Just have to get to that point :)
Data gives a perception only when there is a problem to solve and you need support from the data. Problem solving is more about the knowledge in the vertical, the approach to the problem and your capability to think from multiple angles, which does not have to do about science.
Need not have to label the Fiction genre as a non-educative one. Numerous amount of fiction books teach about the world, the cultures and provokes self-introspection.
Non-fiction, agreed. Especially Biographies of successful people who made it from the scratch after a lot of struggling, like Mr. Gates himself.
If your dad owns private equity in starbucks and gives you money to buy software from IBM -- THAT is hardly pulling yourself up from the bootstraps yo.
Give it to a dying start-up. They'll certainly pull it off with cutting edge technology & tools with great eye for UX, which usually giants fail to do.
