With functionality being largely the same across the board, Google seems like the obvious winner since you probably want workspace anyway. The pricing for the tiers that allow for Stripe integration + paid bookings: G Workspace (biz standard) - 12$/seat/mo Calendly Pro - $12/seat/mo SavvyCal Premium - $20/seat/mo

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.

can’t speak to other funds but we have a custom application flow at calm fund. better for founders (who can save their app mid-stream and revisit later) and for us. everyone saves time and we only proceed to a call if there’s a high chance we’ll invest. (we use ours rather than YC’s given our fund’s focus.)

Intellectually, at least. He had really done a number on his iTunes library.

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?

I’ve thought about this a lot! There’s a mental acuity/sharpness that develops when negotiating real time conversation. I don’t think calls with friends can replicate it. Might recommend putting yourself in positions with more unknowns, where you’re forced to think on your feet. Volunteering, meetups, etc.
