I think in our case the main problem was incentives, we were suggesting low prices for the people sending packages but we forgot that the drivers need an incentive to drop it.

Best of luck!

Was more complex than I thought. Still missing support for some RAW formats and had to fix some bugs

I also created a website to showcase how it works -> https://picscrub.com/

Right now it sucks but I'm creating the new version. Writing always take more time than I anticipate...

We're drowning in tweets, posts, news... (way more than anyone can reasonably consume). So what rises to the top? The most dramatic, attention-grabbing claims. "I built in 1 hour what took a team months" gets 10k retweets. "I used AI to speed up a well-scoped prototype after weeks of architectural thinking" gets...crickets

Social platforms are optimized for engagement, not accuracy. The clarification thread will always get a fraction of the reach of the original hype. And the people posting know this.

The frustrating part is there's no easy fix. Calling it out (like this article does) get almost no attention. And the nuanced followup never catches up with the viral tweet.

Happen more than I'm willing to admit, so I guess I will give a try

Short-term accommodation was notoriously expensive for students back then (probably even worse now), and I didn't hesitate when they offered me this unconventional housing opportunity.

The bunker had a decontamination zone, air filtering system, massive concrete doors, a large communal kitchen, and numerous small bunk beds. It was adequate for short-term use, but we encountered two main issues:

- It's remarkably easy to lose track of time without natural light cues

- Even with the air filering system wet clothes wouldn't dry properly inside

Thanks for sharing your perspective, I think I'm going to look at it differently from now on.

I'm not working on it but somehow it still has some traction, it averages 20k users/month (mostly teachers). Unfortunately my day job it's very time-consuming and I never find time to create a better version.

It's extremely annoying.

However the Amazon Affiliate TOS [0] say:

I see many sites with this functionality. I don't know if they all got approved by Amazon or they are not enforcing this clause.

I created it to learn Vue, initially I used Gridsome but then I decide to use Nuxt. I also moved it from Netlify to Firebase to add storing+auth, so people can create custom wheels.

It's getting a decent amount of visits so it will be wise to finish it, but it's not fun anymore and my day job takes a lot of energy.

They even have an abuse email domainabuse@cscglobal.com but they never reply (not even an automatic reply)

After contacted them via customer support email on their site, they say that they have scalated the case to their legal team but that I have low priority since I'm not a customer.

What I did is filling this form https://forms.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/r... but I don't know if this will change anything.

It's the first item on the TODO list anyway.

So I created a small tool a while ago to learn Vue and to help me with this: https://roulettecarnival.com/ , it's not close to be finished but it kinda works. I also use it with my team to make trivial decisions more fun.
