People have been sending me the cute pics the AI generates of their pups. I think this is arguably the best thing so far in this latest wave of AI releases!
I regularly chat with folks running competitors to my business. It's a fairly niche space so there's not many people who understand what we're dealing with day to day.
I remove them from my user forums when I see them join, mostly because I like to post my product roadmap there. They could join pseudonymously, but time spent worrying about competitors is time better spent thinking about other stuff.
End of the day, a competitor can only beat you by building a better product or doing better marketing. Neither of those is possible by copying.

I wish more people understood this! 2/3 of the time someone asks me to hear their idea they want me to sign an NDA first.
As though I have time to build a dating app that matches people based on their favorite color!
But seriously, I think people would be surprised how much two ideas can diverge based on execution and in most circumstances sharing your idea is very low risk.

Pays for the occasional (happy hour) beer, but I have a huge backlog of user feedback and TODOs that I never have time for which is why I consider it half baked.
Linkdrop doesn't have any unread article lists. When you "save" an article, it queues it up to send it to you in an email the next day.
Since I've been using it I find that my actual bookmarks are things I want to save instead of just random articles. Makes things a lot cleaner :)
It's got a good number of users atm and things are running smoothly, it's also free. If you do use it, feel free to send me any feedback you have. I've been trying to find more time to hack on it and would love some more direction.
