After a tumultuous 2020, this feels...right. A few questions for @adeoressi: 1. What inspired you to put this together? 2. How did you come up with the various roles, traits, disasters, etc? Given the year we've had, is there any chance we're going to find ourselves looking down at a board that feels a little *too* real? 3. It sounds like you've done a fair amount of playtesting with friends...

This is a great idea and, like many of the things Figma has done, I'd be shocked if it didn't lead to a new wave of innovation and collaboration within the broader design community.

Nominees?

Let's all hope this is the future of analytics. So good.

This thing looks amazing. I could see a ton of uses ranging from startups doing customer development (sorry, LaunchRock) to premium newsletters (like the original Foundation from @kevinrose) to Mom and Pop shop's selling a simple service.

Seems solid. I've also been a big fan of Mark.com (https://mark.com/) -- which I have both rented and bought domains through. Mark even found, and negotiated a deal with, a domain owner for me when I couldn't figure out who had what I wanted.

I met Gino back when Cozy was still Avenue and was super impressed. If anyone is going to solve this piece, I think it's them.

Agree with @rrhoover, if this works then it would be huge. Would be interested to know how proactive you have to be -- as in, do I just say "Monitor the Basecamp website." or do I have to set up very specific campaigns.

@rrhoover remind me to talk to you about this. there are very few hosts that wouldn't be willing to provide you guys with free hosting at this point.

@orenbarzilai the ProductHunt explanation you gave @rrhoover is infinitely more compelling than the value prop listed on your site. It seems like a cool concept, so I'd consider adding something like that to your marketing page.

Definitely a solid concept.

Zazzle does a pretty good job with this as well. Little expensive, but the quality is super high.

Circa is fantastic. It has completely replaced Feedly as my source for general news.

I really like this idea. I'd much rather take a 1-3 question survey then watch/listen/get distracted by some ad. What do you think @rrhoover? Can Google's success using surveys to break down paywalls on media properties work on mobile?

@rrhoover This thing is great. Super slick idea.

I just recently started using Noisli -- super easy access to all the standard background noises. http://www.noisli.com/
