There’s something specific about sitting still concentration that is particularly painful for me when sleep deprived.

Physical activities that require concentration like surfing or even martial arts training I can get through and even temporarily make that miserable exhausted feeling disappear.

Ask HN: Does anyone else struggle to do computer work when tired?

I’m specifically referring to a lack of sleep.I’ve noticed that if I’m sleep deprived, especially if there’s a sleep debt of a few bad nights in a row, I feel really unmotivated and it’s difficult to concentrate.Of course everyone is far happier and performs much better when well rested. But I feel like it potentially affects me more than other people.The difference is astounding, I’d estimate...

I have strong convictions about business communication.

Efficiency is key.

Every character is one brain processing unit.

Time is all we have.

Agreed.

Should probably make it free to use to get a faster test on your assumptions. It is a very novel assumption that people will actually use this as intended and return everyday.

I see more revenue opportunity for advertising, partnerships, and affiliate relationships than a flat membership fee.

You can have a premiere membership that has special features like improved vetting and ability to refine matching specifications, after a person ends up liking it, and it’s usage becomes routine. You should give users the opportunity to try, because again, its a novel assumption.

For the free tier, the 728X90 leaderboard above the chat screen would be highly valuable real estate.
