Anyone here building something around sustainability? I ve been browsing for a while and haven t seen many products tackling climate change or other global challenges.
I'm trying to reach out to startup people or influencers to do interviews or surveys to find out the feasibility of my product, but I'm getting a very low response rate.
The perfection of creations generated by artificial intelligence makes it difficult to distinguish fiction from reality.
The precision of AI images has advanced to the point that even professionals (graphic designers, video-makers) are sometimes not 100% sure of their authenticity.
Anyone else deal with this? I work on a big external monitor, and every time I present, people are squinting at a shrunk down version of my screen going "can you zoom in?" The bigger your monitor, the tinier everything gets on their end. It drives me nuts. And on top of that these call apps like Teams, only allow you to share one window at a time. There are comparative solutions like PrivacyStage, BetterStage, etc., but anyone else able to find any better way to solve this?
Let me start from where i'm sitting: i talk to founders, hiring managers, and recruiters every week, and the same conversation keeps coming up. nobody trusts their pipeline anymor
Application volumes have doubled since 2021. Cheating on technical assessments doubled in just six months last year, from 15% to 35% of candidates. One in three hiring managers has personally caught a fake identity in an interview. @Anthropic had to rewrite their interview questions after so many people cheated during the interview with Claude.
As Makers, we're constantly juggling product builds, user feedback, marketing, and bug fixes. Time seems to vanish in an instant. Over the past year, I ve found that sometimes it's not a grand strategy or overhaul that makes the difference, but rather one game-changing tool that quietly handles the busywork.
For me, a standout has been Fathom, an AI-powered tool that transcribes meetings and automatically delivers highlight summaries. No more scrambling for bullets during calls, no more post-call backlog. It s saved me hours each week. In fact, users combining tools like Fathom, ChatGPT, Asana, and Zapier have reported reclaiming 20+ hours per week by streamlining writing, research, and task automation.
If you're a SaaS, digital product, agency or freelancer what payment gateways do you use to handle local methods, taxes and subscriptions?
PayPal charges me 5% per transaction and their support is unwilling to reduce it to 3% for me while I know they do lower the transaction fee for certain accounts.
Building a Faster Medical Store: My 7-Day Experience with MyMedi HTML
A few weeks ago, a client of mine who runs a local medical supply shop called me in a bit of a panic. Their existing online shop, built on a heavy database-driven content management system, was taking over six seconds to load on mobile devices. In the medical supply niche, customers are often in a hurry. They need to order bandages, digital thermometers, or diagnostic kits quickly, and they do not want to wait for heavy scripts to load. The slow load times were hurting their conversion rates, and their bounce rate was climbing past sixty percent.
Last month I almost sent the wrong invoice to the wrong client because I was juggling three different threads in my head and none of them were written down anywhere. I caught it ten minutes before it went out, but it made me sit with how much of my business actually lives in memory instead of in any real system.
I am curious how common this is. Has something almost slipped through for you recently, a follow up, a payment, a promise to a client you forgot you made? What was it, and how did you catch it, or did you not catch it in time?
