Can anyone who has used Google Calendar's Stripe Payments feature (available to Workspace Biz Standard customers and up) show me what the embeds look like? Having a hard time finding any examples of this, and trying to compare the embed aesthetic of Gcal/Calendly/SavvyCal.

I’ve often heard people give founders the advice, “Build things that solve your own problems.” I never did that, because I don’t have problems. Haha, wrong! I just had a very high inconvenience threshold. Lower that threshold and you’ll discover all kinds of problems you can solve for yourself.

I’ve always kept a marathon training plan on the fridge, but oh man this is satisfying. Next step is probably connecting this to Discord via Zap.

Easy to find communities of SaaS founders… where do I go to connect with founders of digital media startups? Specifically interested in chatting with folks who have bootstrapped sustainable content-based businesses.

Every physical product you ever buy will need to be disposed of one day. But that’s the last thing we think of. Is there a browser extension, specifically for retailers like Amazon, that surfaces typical product lifespan and highlights how to approach disposal–e.g. textile recycling vs. landfill–before purchase?

More than anything, the “ChatGPT killed Google” discourse highlights the difference between “searching” and “asking.” Asking a question is easy. Searching is laborious. You need to use your brain to parse, validate and distill data. Turns out people never really wanted a search engine. They wanted an answ

What was a formative gig in your personal/professional development? For me? Being a NYC production assistant out of college, being put on lockups, having to ask busy New Yorkers not to walk down the block for 30-60 seconds while rolling. At rush hour. I hope my kids have to learn about managing people like that.

The first dot com domain was registered in March of 1985 by a (defunct) computer company called Symbolics. A year later IBM registered theirs. Another year later, in February of 1987, Apple registered theirs. It just makes me wonder, what’s the most forward looking thing someone could do right now?

What are you using for GDPR banner software? We’ve got founders using both Iubenda and CookieYes, but not exactly liking them. Is there a simple/user friendly compliance tool out there? Or at least something good enough to recommend?

Joined Upstream’s DAO-a-thon at Basel yesterday. So many cool, clever ppl w/ good ideas! As a format the event has huge potential—but it likely has to evolve/split into 2 things: DAO demo days (winners were all existing DAOs/had products on market) & a proper DAO hackathon with a focus on the generative/sprint asp

I love the expression "reservoir of goodwill,” used by Steve Krug in his book Don't Make Me Think, a primer on building usable web products. The book is 20+ years old but the idea is evergreen. Basically, your users have some finite amount of goodwill that dwindles when they're inconvenienced/frustrated by your desig

If you’re not already using Arc from The Browser Company, you should seek it out. Everything about it is super slick, but I’m shocked by how much I’m liking the Easels feature.

Aware that Shopify supports tokengating... but does anything support trait gating yet? Maybe this is a naive question, but if I wanted to host a forum, site, or Discord channel exclusively for folks with not just a specific NFT, but a specific trait, what are my options?

I have this theory I call the conservation of suffering. Basically the total amount of suffering within a system remains constant. Take flying with a toddler vs driving with a toddler. The drive is long and miserable, but just for you. The flight is shorter, suffering less severe, but distributed among all passengers.
