A bit late to the discussion here, but Elon Musk demonstrates the limitations of transferable knowledge — AKA the Mike Ashley syndrome. So who's Mike Ashley? He's a British billionaire retail entrepreneur who bought Newcastle United without the slightest understanding of what it takes to run a big established football club, and manage the expectations of a fervent global fan base — sound familiar?

Finding a co-founder!

What, apart from the fact it's like herding cats, knitting fog, and polishing hens' teeth?

Hi Hannah, I often find inspiration in things that are of their moment (recent events), or when someone points out that something I've done or find obvious could be useful to someone else.

Hi @iamaustinyang, when working with major corporations, we often have a designated person who: 1. takes the minutes of the meeting; 2. shares those minutes to everyone afterwords; 3, and then follows up on each action point that had been assigned to a person or a team. On the face of it, it's a simple enough approach, but I'm certain it took a lot of effort (herding cats, knitting fog, so on...

Good morning Makers! I'm looking for willing Guinea pigs to help me make the Under Cloud … more. So imagine Evernote combined with Wikipedia, where we create links between the things we create and the things we find. You could help me: 1. weed out a few bugs, and hone the UX; 2. and — if you're in academia or a journalist — find the market fit. Oh, it's free to sign up, and — if you decide to...

Hi Bruno, I agree that maintaining some semblance of our work routine is important, and some go as far as to dress as they would for the office. I keep a strict diet and fitness routine that breaks things up, and the advice I give to people who're attempting to do the same thing is to look at it as a commitment and not a sacrifice.

Having tried 4-5 different signature generators, and ESG was the best I could find. I am not fond of Gmail, and the signature composition is abysmal, so it didn't take much to be an improvement. However, I would like to see more options for layout. Also, I'm not sure an extension is the best approach, as it adds overhead to Chrome, and since I don't see myself changing the signature again, an...

Hello! 🚀 I've launched the Under Cloud here on Product Hunt ( https://www.producthunt.com/posts/under-cloud ), which is a different take on knowledge management, where we connect the things we create with the things we find. It's possible to create annotated narratives of events (anything from climate change, and the coronavirus, to the latest thinking in consciousness), or the things you're...

Hi there Product Hunt, Wayne here! I’ve been using some version of the Under Cloud for some time, and a bunch of good friends have encouraged me to share it with the world. Our brains aren’t hard drives, and how we remember things and make connections between them is personal to us. Under Cloud is a different take on knowledge management, where we connect the things we create with the things we...

Hi @agnieszka_kopczynska, an excellent question that — for me at least — is difficult to answer, as I'm not in that age group. That said, it depends on two things: 1. what seniors are doing on and with digital devices; 2. and how open they are to doing other things. It's not a given that once they're using a mobile device that it would open the flood gates to other things — I would imagine...
