The trick with this wave of fast apps will be getting others to use the things that are built. Sure you can build something for yourself quickly enough, but you'll likely need the rest of your team onboard, which comes with a slew of other problems and complexities.

Same. It's freed up hours to spend with the kids. Time is scarce

In my experience that's where story points come in. "This comparable project took this number of story points, therefore <new project> should be similar, resulting in a comparable amount of time." The usage of story points help to adjust for complexity.

The story points are that data point in the past used to indicate the future.

I mentioned this a few months ago, but have made progress since - I'm working on an alternative to subscriptions for online publications. Instead of subscribing to entire publications / blogs, publishers would register their publication on this network and configure thresholds and pricing. Add a bit of code to the site and a paywall will show up, allowing readers to pay for individual articles. The prices would be minimal, amounting to less than a dollar in most cases. i.e. reading articles using micro-transactions

I know it's been tried before, but I thought I'd attack it with a few different angles - web based, no chrome extension, thresholds to help verify the article is worth it, extensive use of an aggregator to help with discovery and validation.

Hey, this is relevant to what I'm working on - I'm building an alternative to subscriptions for online publications. Instead of subscribing to entire publications / blogs, publishers would register their site on this network and configure thresholds and pricing. Add a bit of code to the publication and a paywall will show up, allowing configuration per article and allowing readers to pay for individual articles. The prices would be minimal, amounting to less than a dollar in most cases. i.e. reading articles using micro-transactions.

I know it's been tried before, as has been mentioned in this thread, but I thought I'd attack it with a few different angles - web based, no chrome extension, and thresholds to help verify the article is worth it.

Especially considering the nature of this thread, I'd love feedback and what you'd like to see out of a solution like this.

The better the marketing, the easier the sales.

Better than rolling out an AI to hopefully find the docs you're looking for, it would be better to create an actual framework for the docs. This would remove uncertainty about where docs live and improve discoverability to peruse as needed.

AI and search is only as helpful as the content provided, and most applicable to those already familiar with the existing domain.
