This is a simple and useful productivity tool -- it gives you that little nudge you need to stop going down your favorite rabbit hole during the work day.

A little backstory: @thinker, @bentossell, and @eriktorenberg all passionate about news, curation, community, startups, etc. After a couple jamming sessions, it just became obvious that we had to build something. As Erik mentioned, this doesn't necessarily _have_ to exist, but why not? After a few days of hacking away at this, On Deck News was born. We think it can be yet another one of those...

Nice list of newsletter products! Just submitted Venture News, which has a daily roundup of the top news shared by VCs on Twitter :)

Whats up Product Hunters! Super proud to be working on this with my friend Leslie (@1wu). Last week, we shared Venture News as a place to keep up with the daily VC buzz on Twitter. As we began using it, Leslie realized that it not only reflected the daily VC news, but also accurately reflected other social dynamics that we see in the tech ecosystem. I'll defer to Leslie's recent Medium piece...

Hey y'all! And, thanks for the hunt @chrismessina! My friend @1wu and I built Venture News as an easy way to keep up with the VC community on Twitter. Everyday, we scroll through hundreds of tweets in search of the best links. For @1wu and I, we found that many of our favorite links were being shared by the VC community. So we thought, why not hack something up to make this easier? Venture News...

Thanks @chrismessina. I'll chime in too w/ some background :) My friends @r0bl0rd, @synapticstimuli, and I (advised by @chrismessina) all think Daft Punk is pretty awesome, and have been imagining what a collaborative multimedia shrine to Daft Punk might look like. What if there was one place online created by the fans to represent Daft Punk media/culture? What would it look like? What would it...

I've been using this in a project and it's great. Super convenient for responsive video embeds!

They've got to get these lights blinking to the beat! With different colors.. Would be a sweet music visualizer on your head.

Really great execution on this.. simple, flexible, and fits into the existing flow of PH. Two thoughts: 1) The short lag after clicking '+' (presumably fetching the collections) is noticeable enough where something speed it up would be great 2) The confirmation box after adding to a collection can be a little bothersome because it gets in the way if I want to add the next post to a collection,...

Damn this game is impossible! Highest score so far is 1.. And that was purely by luck.

Nicely done! Congrats to @davidkmckinney and the PH team on the iOS launch!

An Instagram for quotes -- love it! I'm a sucker for these kinds of quotes and will be back to create some fun ones :)

This is ridiculously awesome. Agree w/ @mischa -- not only is it hilarious, but it has the chance of informing the mass audience and making the Internet a better place. Brilliant!

I remember seeing AirBrB, and then hoping that it wasn't an April Fools joke! As a person who works from home most of the time, I welcome excuses for a change of pace.. especially if there are interesting people to meet also.

Great name -- I'd bet that it significantly increased your upvote count :) I like these kinds of projects as fun motivational tools, but as a business, your interests aren't aligned with your users. It is a big problem. Imagine if Weightwatchers only made money when you didn't lose weight. Or, if universities got paid when you didn't learn. Doesn't sound too pretty does it?
