Facebook innovation is their ads algo. They copy existing consumer success (which is incredibly difficult to create), and then execute it incredibly well.

yup! When i did an analysis last month, GitHub is up 89.3% on weekdays and 96.5% on weekends. Incidents touch 62% of weekdays and 11% of weekends. Claude shows the same pattern: 92.5% weekday, 97.8% weekend. Tuesday through Thursday is the danger zone. Sunday is practically a different service.

I think your best bet is first curing your allergies. That's what I've been working on for 5 years: www.wyndly.com

New comment by ahstilde in "Poison, Poison Everywhere"

ahstilde — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:58:31 +0000

I totally agree. I actually started Wyndly (https://www.wyndly.com/) because I realized I was poisoning myself with antihistamines every single day for my allergies. I did the research, and antihistamines are know to cause anxiety, depression, weight gain, and brain fog!

I applied for YC. We got in!

And now we're chipping away at this corner of human health: treating the root cause of allergies with protein exposure therapy (allergy immunotherapy) instead of covering up allergy symptoms with ineffective (and, it turns out, dangerous) antihistamines.

This is called product-channel fit. It's great the writer recognized how to capture the demand from a new acquisition channel.
