That's what they have used in the past, and are not bound to it. If you read any of Lina Khan's work, it's clear that they'll take a more holistic view of the impact of lack of competition.
We're building Shuffle which isn't a direct replacement but is designed to be a home for your interests. We've had a lot of folks come from Tumblr today. You can check us out at https://shuffle.do
Could you share those tricks around staying authenticated? Since cookies aren't shared between regular browser and "HomeScreen" app, how do you make that happen?
Also curious how this would work with SSR? Will the render be considered incomplete until all subtree promises have resolved?
If so, that would solve one of the biggest pain points working with SSR + React today. Today, the solution is to have you route level component load data which is far from ideal.
> and the industry standard is that companies pay for BOTH their own legal counsel and the investor’s legal fees.
Serious question - how is this still the case, or make any sense? Wouldn't it be in the investor's interest that the company doesn't spend $60K out of their raise on this, and instead on hires, product, etc?
And given how standard a process this must be for every VC firm, I imagine they would have a well-negotiated rate, which for them is an incremental cost of investing?
I'd like to believe that there are firms out there that don't do this, and that this is turns out to be some sort of advantage for them (a form of founder-friendly/company-friendly, if you will).
Good questions! Highly simplified but when you come in, we ask you a few specifically-designed questions about what you are interested in, which helps us drill down into very specific interests. Through those questions, we can also recognize folks for whom that field/interest is a less serious pursuit.
And then when you post, you select the topic/community and our algorithm does the targeting/distribution accordingly. This keeps your feed hyper-relevant as the network grows.
We've studied different network and community dynamics, and taken them into account when designing Shuffle as our aim is to become the hub for all of the fields out there.
We are building something like that, for all the fields out there. We've built an interest graph that allows for it to the targeting to be hyper-relevant that really gets at exactly what you are interested in (so what era/region/aspect of history rather than just 'history').
We are launching our beta in the next couple of months, but until then you can sign up on http://shuffle.do to stay tuned. Happy to answer any questions.
Sorry to hear that but glad you guys made the effort that you did! As another founder in a similar space, I'd love to read a post-mortem from you. And if you are in the headspace right now to maybe just share a TLDR?
