In most parts of the world, Easter is being celebrated right now, honestly, not really.
Today, I was invited to a weekly meeting despite the holiday. I had forgotten one fact: Orthodox countries celebrate Easter a week later. (and countries in the Far East simply don t have this holiday at all.)
This is actually a broader topic, because every country celebrates holidays differently, and with many teams being international, some kind of synchronisation is necessary the question is: how?
I ve seen a lot of makers (myself included) start building with one idea, then pivot completely after talking to users.
I launched Waivify a simple digital waiver tool because I noticed yoga instructors and personal trainers still using paper or clunky PDFs for liability waivers. It started as a weekend build. Now it s used by solo business owners to simplify their client onboarding.
But along the way, I realized I wasn t just solving waivers I was helping service pros feel more legit and reduce admin anxiety.
I have already subscribed, am a paid customer, heavy promoted the start-up in peer groups, referred couple of paid customers. So, besides these what do I give him? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Budget - under $100
Yesterday, @zaczuo shared an idea about delivering packages from space. To me, that seems quite sci-fi and financially demanding to actually pull off. Today, I m reading that Bezos predicts millions of people could be living in space by 2050.
How realistic is this scenario, given that the last time we set foot on the Moon was more than 50 years ago? (And above all, I feel like we still can t solve basic problems on Earth, let alone expand into space.)
When it comes down to hardware my X feed is filled with two types of designs.
Retro/nostalgic 2000's hardware that was defined by Gameboy translucent purples, Colorful macs, Sony's beautiful eclectic electronics, and embracing colors that pop like pink, purple, and orange.
Sleek, modern, simple designs like the @Humane AI pin, @Limitless, @Friend, or the @omi.
I personally miss the fun days where consumer tech was wacky. Think Tamagotchi, Mini Clips, PSPs, and clear-shelled devices. I do see some like @Burner that have brought back some fun design but I'm curious... what does everyone think? Should we bring back the weird or embrace the sleek, simple, and modern?
