OpinionX is a research tool for stack ranking people's priorities. 5000 teams use our product to identify and measure what matters most to their customers, colleagues or community (incl. teams from Salesforce, Mastercard, Google, Shopify, etc).
Looking for two full-stack developers. Our tech stack is Java, Typescript and Vue.js (data science experience a bonus but not essential). We're currently wrapping up our pre-seed round and the team today is just the two co-founders (CEO & CTO), so you'd be joining an early-stage company with promising indicators of early PMF and solid traction (new users growing ~23% MoM since June 2022).
Since learning two years ago about the story behind David Friedberg's WeatherBill pivot in 2011, I've constantly referred back to it in conversations with other founders and product managers. Seems to me like a textbook perfect pivot that should be studied by everyone setting up their own startup (before they need to pivot in the first place).
Hey, original author of the article (only just discovered it was shared on HN). I really appreciate both your comments about how we can improve the post, have added it to my to-do list to update this to put them in a better order and to make the self-referencing part about OpinionX more transparent (outside of the list of 99 companies, I think).
As much as the original order was indeed mostly random, I also placed them so that each 'pair' side by side were roughly the same length, purely for aesthetic reasons. I think alphabetical order might just make more sense.
These are obviously (?) mostly facetious, but for people interested in actual startup ideas, worth thinking more about problems than just market opportunities:
"The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It's to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself." — Paul Graham on 'How to Get Startup Ideas' - http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

Reddit moderators are a whole breed of their own. Any that I've encountered (mostly for 100k+ subreddits) have lost any shred of empathy they once had.
This looks really cool, but I was hoping to see a super short video or demo that shows it in action. With such a punchy value prop, it feels a bit like a "see it to believe it" product.
100% agreed Nick, easy to focus on these types of vanity metrics to give yourself encouragement during a hard fundraising round. Looking forward to using DocSend later this year for our seed round at www.opinionx.co, I've had you guys bookmarked since December after coming across a great article of yours.
I gave Reddit a try recently and just couldn't get into it. Low karma really limited my ability to get involved.
I've been enjoying getting involved on Indie Hackers, I've been writing lots of posts and engaging with people there the past few weeks, like this one about the impact of Product-Led Growth on user researchers: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/i-interviewed-100-people-h...
Keep coming back to Indie Hackers because people are engaging positively and I'm finding little communities to follow. Never found that with Reddit.
I'm the co-founder and CEO of startup called OpinionX (www.opinionx.co) - we've built a dynamic survey tool where people vote on each other's opinions to identify consensus at scale. Based in Dublin, Ireland.
2021 is the year of virtual conferences. This list includes 28 events confirmed for 2021 (most of which are virtual), along with 19 events I'm keeping track of which haven't been confirmed yet for 2021 but have been great in previous years.
