I am more of a visual learner but I completely agree about tightly-edited content. When I record video courses, I spend most of my time editing and rephrasing to make it shorter.
I've been thinking about feedback on incorrect answers and providing hints when the learner is stuck. I want to try and make this dynamic based on what the learner tries. Of course there are endless possibilities there, but at least if they do something that's known to be bad, it's a good opportunity to teach them why not to do so.
We're building a simple tool to help us with our group emails, we wanted something simple, you define (or import) your contacts information, organize them in lists, compose messages, pick lists where a message go to, and let the system work the magic.
You can use mail-merge variables in messages, and the tool allow you to preview all emails before you send them. The cost of using the tool will be 1 cent per email, only for the sending part, the organizing of contacts/lists/messages is all free.
The tool is built with a responsive UI design to work well on small screens.
Running a private beta at PRMatch right now but you can claim an account with invitation code HACKER (after you signup normally). Love to hear your feedback on the idea and the beta.
Right on! owners will understand a recommendation scale (on a scale from 1 to 10), we can use every possible metric internally and save them the headache. If we can gain their trust, that number might be everything they need.
As a property owner, this is clearly a risky decision, that's why I think the future of BootRent would have some sort of startups valuation algorithm to give property owners some help in making that decision.
We're going to deploy the beta features to the site Sunday 23:59 UTC. Please excuse the bootstrap-ness, we don't have a designer on team (and if you're an interested designer, we'd love to talk to you, please get in touch [email protected])
There should be and edit icon to the left of the title when you view the entry as the owner, maybe we should make that a bit more obvious.
Thanks for suggesting the domain name check, we've been thinking about that and how to make it useful to users brainstorming names, as well as for names already proposed. It's definitely something we have on the queue.
Right now, we have a simple algorithm that ranks front-page entries based on their type and age, older entries would eventually be pushed down the stack as new ones comes in.
However, we've been contemplating a voting process on the entries themselves and then have the algorithm use that, some entries are worth the public attention more than others.
