I got the chance to beta test Contento Optimize and have been super impressed with how useful it is! Your content still needs to be substantive of course, but Contento will help you really optimize for SEO and visibility. Good content is useless if no one sees it. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

This is my new favorite app. I used to be conversant in Mandarin and would come up with visualizations to learn up to 30 characters a day. It's been years now, though, and I've forgotten much of my Chinese. I've always wanted someone to build something like this with a large enough character set that it would actually be useful for someone like me. Love the approach for teaching tones as well....

We take no more than a 12% cut and handle everything from listing the item...

Also, here is a link directly to YCR instead of @sama's blog post: https://ycr.org/

I love that YC is tackling this huge problem. As a former scientist, I'm super aware of how screwed up science is right now. This is a major step in the right direction and I think in addition to all the great tech that will result from this, another huge benefit will be pushing science away from valuing churning out papers and more towards empowering scientists to make major breakthroughs.

This looks really nice. I'm going to give it a try for http://shopsultry.com and see how it goes. So far, we've been marketing by contacting bloggers in our space and getting them to write/tweet about us, but we've been looking for a scalable way to reach more influencers.
