What makes you decide not to try a product?

There are plenty of tools that seem useful on paper, yet something makes us close the tab instantly.

Sometimes it s pricing, sometimes messaging, sometimes the onboarding feels unclear.

Often it s a gut feeling that s hard to explain.

What's the weirdest thing you've asked AI to do? Examples welcome 🤖

I've recently gotten into training grip strength and since it s a new area of strength training for me, I ve been asking Claude a lot of weird questions about training and recovery techniques. So now, my chat history is a ton of stuff about work with the occasional odd question about how often I should be using extensor bands haha

What are some of the strangest things you've asked AI to help with? Did it actually help?

What Chrome extensions are your must-have?

I tried to pick a few that help me with work (e.g. summarising something, fixing or improving the process).
Here are my must-haves:

  • Buyerstage  bookmarking LinkedIn posts

  • ColorZilla to pick colours from websites (a must for graphics work)

  • Grammarly  grammar checking and grammar correction

  • Save Tweets Forever  bookmarking Twitter posts

  • SimilarWeb for a quick overview of website stats

  • SurfPal a time tracker to keep screen time in check

  • TidyRead  AI summarising texts from websites

  • Tweet Hunter analysing Twitter posts and profiles

Of course, I have more, but these are essential to me.

New funding opportunities for startups and where the interests of VCs go?

Two weeks ago, @byalexai discussed whether VCs are losing their appeal in the AI era. A few months ago, I personally noticed a lot of hate toward VCs and praise for bootstrapping on X.

It felt like VCs were being demonised: selective investors who take a big slice once a good opportunity appears, and then founders are expected to deliver top results while entrepreneurial freedom fades. That s how it was often framed.

Are there any topics you wouldn't ask AI for advice on?

Are there any topics you wouldn't ask AI for advice on?

We've literally put our entire lives in the hands of artificial intelligence.

From work responsibilities to relationship issues, to advice on philosophy and our bodies.

Linear vs other project planners

I checked out https://linear.app a few weeks ago. It's a very slick looking product. And some folks feel really passionate about Linear. I have heard engineers say: "I would leave my role if my company decided to switch from Linear."
Question for those who have extensive experience with Linear: what makes Linear such a great product? Should I seriously consider migrating to Linear? I have used Jira and Asana a bunch. And, honestly, Jira and Asana seem fine. What am I missing?

What's your biggest pain point or frustration with current language-learning apps? 

Hello Everyone!

We're building a personalized language-learning app inspired by our own experiences and frustrations with the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional apps. Our goal is to offer customized and adaptive learning paths, powered by user data and tailored to individual interests, goals, and motivations.

I won t go into full pitch mode just yet, but we d love to start a discussion around this question:

  • What s your biggest pain point or frustration with current language-learning apps?

Do ideal work conditions matter to you or can you work from anywhere?

Everyone focuses differently. And for a lot of people, where and how they work makes a huge difference.

Some need silence. Others need background noise. Some can t stand the cold, others lose focus if it s too warm. Coworking spaces? Only if they have the right vibe. Offices? Only if colleagues aren t interrupting every five minutes.
