Lovely work and I love the idea! It would be great to see a bit more diversity. 90% of the people you've included are white dudes. ✌️

@meseali @kwdinc Hey I would love to see @simplybastow on this list! ProdPad + MindTheProduct co-founder. Generally also a badass lady writing about product strategy, startups and prod mgmt.

@meseali 👏🏾 Congrats Ali and Crew! Looks like another solid side-project! I'm really finding services that curate the type of content I like super useful. Some interesting examples recently that I've been digging are Hash (news), Hyper (video) and this falls in that category for me under writing.
Fred Rivett
Dang this is cool 👀 We've all seen how popular curation is to Product Hunters. Heck, even this site itself is built upon the foundation of curation. Often I see replica sites spin up with little differentiation, stash this, stack that, but this, for me at least, is a new spin on keeping up with the writing of some of the most influential founders about. No surprise here that the folks at Crew are behind this. Ali wrote a post that really resonated with me almost a year ago now, "Side Project Marketing Is The New King". He's totally right, and the team at Crew know it. https://medium.com/swlh/side-pro... Great job guys 🙌

@fredrivett oh man, seriously, you guys are so supportive - huge thanks from all of us at Crew! Glad that post resonated with you by the way. Thanks for taking time to give this feedback, really appreciate it
Fred Rivett
@meseali I like creative ways at solving problems from different angles. This is a cool way to keep up to date with the industry leads, your stuff always inspires me on the side project marketing front. Keep it up 👊
Tom Whatley
I hope you guys never stop making cool sh*t. One area I would love to see is an "up & coming" type category. Those who are just getting their footing, writing about their journey and sharing their lessons. Think Alex Turnbull of Groove when he first started blogging about his journey :).

@thetomwhatley thanks for your encouraging comment, Tom 👊 OK, noted, actually this reminds me we wanted to have a similar section at the beginning of the project but it got off the radar somehow. Will get our hands back on it 👍

Can a website be racist? Sad to see this on the #1 spot on Product Hunt
Ryan Hoover
@alancassinelli racist seems a bit far but definitely agree this feels tone def in regards to inclusion. See the most upvoted comment above.
Alan Cassinelli
@rrhoover seems to me to be just another example of systemic racism in tech. "Our audience picked them" shouldn't be an acceptable answer anymore
Nicholas Sheriff
@alancassinelli It is a systemic problem Alan, it's people not websites that are at fault with issues like this...thanks for using your voice to speak up in a way I couldn't. Article from digg: Design Can Discriminate, And Other Facts, written yesterday about this very issue we are discussing. http://digg.com/2016/how-design-...

Am I the only one who feels that blue color is overriding and itching?
Dhruba Adhikari
@evivz Yes, why so blue ?
Donté Ledbetter
This is really cool! Is there some sort of RSS feed that brings in new posts or is it manually updated?
Ash Read
This is a great piece of work. Excited to see how it develops and expands. Love the suggestions from @de on diversity and also @thetomwhatley's idea of an "up & coming" section too 👌
Lauren Holliday
Dude fest!
Kyle Alwyn
Lovely idea and solid execution. Couple of things: 1. Animations are a tad annoying. When going to a founder's page and navigating back, I have to wait for all the previous founder animations to run again before being able to view the section I was looking at. 2. Depending on how you're sourcing these articles, maybe include a list of most recent posts by these authors so I don't have to navigate to one of their pages to get a quick read in.
