I think you're right about that. I was coming at it from a b2b saas perspetive, but not everything should be shoved into that box. I guess I spend too much time on x. What do you think is a fair price for something like this?

I charged that much to gauge interest and considering it's a very manual process rn, but I think I can get it down with some automations.

So I wanted my outreach to stand out, so I started printing physical mail to send into the world. But why stop there, so I started wax sealing them. Yk, real premium Victorian feel, and I was having a blast. The problem is that wax sealing takes forever, but I found that if I use a Peltier device (makes one side of a plate hot and the other cold) with ice water flowing over it, I can freeze the wax in place and move really quickly.

Anyway, I wanted to test if this could be a WSAS (Wax Seal as a Service). It would be so cool to have an excuse to build an end-to-end automated process for custom wax sealing. Please hit me up if anyone wants to try sending out a few, and I'd love to help.

I think that's the problem with cold outreach in general. It's just a spam fest. It's so hard to get through even when you're trying to make something valuable. How do you ever find actully good products? Is it ever cold outreach?

Ig personal connections are becoming more and more of a moat

I didn't know the history there, that's cool! The functionality has kind of always been there, but it never felt like something you’d recommend to a normal person.

I've been thinking about a project to make setting up a Tailscale-like setup dummy easy. Ik it's easy now, but trying to make it nord vpn easy. Considering you know what you're talking about, do you think this is a bad idea? It's niche enough that convincing people it's something they want will be a pain, and techies who know they want it, could just do it themselves. Am I being stupid here?

Yeah I see that. But for me it’s more about everything just working. What kind of firewall rules do you have? Maybe that's not the best question to ask on the open internet haha.

I'm coming at it from a more basic NPC angle after ChatGPT started blocking VPN IP traffic. So I'd love to hear a more nuanced angle.
