What is uuuup! Happy week before Christmas (a.k.a. when I realize it’s almost too late to order gifts on Amazon to be shipped to my family in time!) 🙈 I’ve always been bad at coming up with gifts that people would love. Over the years I’ve learned some of us have the gift of effortless gift giving, some of us don’t. I end up coming up with a few lame gift ideas and spending hours going down...

This was my first time coming across @hrishihirway's Song Exploder podcast and I instantly fell in love. Each episode blends an interview with the artist, clips of the song being discussed, and even recordings of early versions of the song kept by artists. After binge-listening to a ton of episodes last night I was surprised to learn how meticulous and systematic many artists are at collecting...

@mackflavelle this looks awesome, excited to try it out! Curious about the development process—did you discover anything unexpected once you started using it, or did the final version end up being close to the initial design vision?

Beautiful simple sign up flow, looking forward to using. Initially got an error message on signup last week but was glad to see the message suggest it captured my email and would update me when fixed. Are there plans to use analytics data from the site to optimize the successful registration rate?

Nice explainer video! I could see this finding a home among conference attendees (eg game developers currently visiting SF for GDC, or people organizing activities at Microconf). May be some ways to facilitate those sorts of use cases early on while global user density is low.

I first came across and tried Kickback when they were focusing Minecraft PvP betting (& were kickback.gg, now kickback.com). Fast forward a year or so, and I noticed some CS:GO friends had added kickback.com to their profile names. Sounds like they must have found some success focusing on that! While most of the services in the CS:GO space are focused on betting on professional matches, with...

Dang, as a long-time CS player I was excited to try this out, but got a Steam Authentication error when trying to connect -- looks like the site's credentials were maybe revoked? http://i.imgur.com/HBk5ust.png It feels like something will come out in this space as there's quite a bit of pent up demand for discovery of quality people to play with, and it's an idea I've heard mentioned a few...

@joshmuccio—great episode, thanks for sharing this discussion! Love your hosting style and seeing these windows into startups seeking funding. Re: thinking of different show formats, audience appeal and business models, two thoughts— One thing that feels missing from episodes is any sort of commitment / success prediction / tough decisions as a result of the pitch and consideration process....

Fond memories of ninja roping with my brother playing Worms 2 many years ago. Fun, versatile multiplayer game. Anyone try this version out? Last mobile version I had trouble connecting and playing, so may wait to hear a few reports before purchasing.

This is great, something I've always wanted! Like giphy for free-to-use imagery. Any plans for an API? Would love to see this in mobile app, Wordpress editor plugin, or desktop quick find form. Heck, I'd even love to contribute photos from a phone.

Wow, beautiful art style, love the lighting.
