Algorithmically generated newsletter on ESG (or other topics); shutting it down -- advice??
Hi everyone, Over the past several months, I've been running a newsletter on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics. The thing is generated automatically by crawling 15,000+ news articles a day and finding things that are relevant to experts. The tech is great, but the ESG space is not where I'll be focusing on this. It takes 10-15 hours a month to run, so I was thinking of shutting it down. So Product Hunt product experts and makers -- do you have any advice on what I can do with this ESG newsletter? If you have a use case for this or know someone who might, I'm happy to have them take over it or collaborate. I don't mind covering the costs of even running the newsletter if there's an audience for it. It's an email-only thing, but you can see a sample of the sort of content we put into it here: https://chimerais.com/news-poc-esg Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks, Wojciech
Video-input, an HTML element that acts like a video form field (to interview users, etc.)
Hi everyone -- a big pain in the butt for me has been collecting video feedback from users and visitors to my website. Rather than jumping on Zoom or scheduling time, I just want 2 minutes of feedback from someone browsing the site as they do so. As a result, I put together an open source video tool to do just this. The idea is you put it in as an HTML element and it does the rest -- when a user "submits" the form, it gets sent as a POST request. No need to deal with messy WebRTC streaming or other things. Feel free to use it for your user interviews or feedback. The code is here: https://github.com/wgryc/video-i... You can also see a demo here, if you'd like: https://phaseai.com/resources/vi... Happy to help folks too, if you want to collect feedback or have issues. And if you find better tools, I'd also love to hear about that as this has been a huge pain for my projects.
How do you decide if/when to stop a project?
Hi fellow Makers, How do you decide when to stop a project?, or double down? I have a live project, but the next phase would be a substantial marketing investment - which I am not sure will pay off. Thanks for your thoughts Dan My project is https://mapaday.com - a community driven travel itinerary site which is unique in that it reverse builds your itinerary from your travel photos
