    What's your view on AI?

    Hi everyone, For the last months I've documented/educated myself on AI and I believe it has a great potential to transform our lives for the better. However, it can also lead to a dystopian future where surveillance is the norm because we've chosen protection at the expense of privacy - something that's happening pretty much right now in China. AI can be used in almost every industry which...

    Writing an book on AI

    Hi everyone, I started a pre-order page on gumroad for my upcoming ebook on the basics of AI: https://gum.co/SXpw/alanturing. Demystifying AI is a non-technical book aimed at everybody that wants to understand why AI is the new electricity. It’s kind of “explaining like I’m five for AI”. Why am I doing this? Teaching someone else it’s said to be the best way of learning, so for the past four...

    Idea Validation: a 365 project to help you build consistent behaviour

    Hi there fellow makers, I quit my job and went freelancing 2 months ago. Since then I’ve been thinking of side projects ideas and get feedback for them from people. Nothing materialised and that led to some self reflection. The conclusion is that I lack consistency and that’s how I come up with Wroteapost. 1. What is it? Wroteapost is a 365 project. What’s a 365 project? It’s a challenge to...

    Starting a newsletter about creators and the "passion" economy

    Hey there fellow makers, I was reading an article these days about the evolution of the passion economy (here is the link if you are interested: https://a16z.com/2019/10/08/passion-economy/) and I loved the idea of capitalizing on your creativity and authenticity as a living. After I finished reading it, I said to myself: "I must start a newsletter about these creators, I have to". So, here I...

    MVP feedback - Project List

    Hey there makers, I quickly build an MVP for Project List, a reddit like board where you can add and vote ideas for side projects, with threadbase and I'm curious what you think about it. Link: https://projectlist.threadbase.io/ Please take it for a spin and give me feedback. 1. Do you find it valuable? 2. What new features would make it (more) valuable? 3. Could this be turned into a place...

    Feedback needed for Project List landing page. Thanks!

    Hi everyone, Thinking about what to build next, I come up with Project List: the place where you can find the idea for your next side project. I know it's a bit meta, thinking about what to build I thought of building a site where I can get ideas for what to build 😆. The landing page is actually an invision link where you can leave feedback about the design and functionalities you would find...

    Is my landing page clear enough?

    Hi makers, I'm working on a slack app that is designed for remote workers. The purpose of the app is to make life easier when it comes to cook at home. It helps you find recipes and thanks to Amazon Fresh API to automatically add to your list all the ingredients and amounts needed, so you'll just have to order and wait for them to arrive. What do you think about the landing page? Is the...

    MVP done, what should I do next?

    Hey everyone, I was thinking for a while about remote work and how could I come up with something that can bring value to remote teams. Then I realised that most of the remote teams over there are probably communicating through slack. So, I started working on a slack app and build an MVP. Now, I don't know what to do next: continue working on improving the MVP or building a landing page and...

    Ideas for side projects

    Hi everyone, I quit my job last week, so I can share my time between freelance gigs and building side projects. Right now I’m on the ideation phase, so I could really use any suggestion for a product you would like to exist (ideally would not take more than a couple of weeks to be built). Looking forward to hearing from you, Alin Rauta
