"What I cannot create, I do not understand" , loved it and cropped it up as a little picture reminder for anyone that is interested. https://x.com/nav_chatterji/status/1893224035737030823
Fwded this to my dad, thanks!
A funny story is that my father's legal first name is Nil. He moved to the US in the late 70s. Computer systems in the 80s would register the input as null and he had to then temporarily change his name to include his middle name. Corner cases are fun.
Re:Show HN: Just another HN note taking app reveal. Meet Crumple. on Wednesday November 02, 2022 @08:30AM (#33434659)
Namaste HN fam. I'm part of a small pseudonymous design studio based in India. When we are not working on client projects we fiddle around with our own ideas.

As a design studio we share a ton of quick notes. Meeting notes, design cycle reviews, code snippets ... etc. Unf current note-taking apps are too bloated. So we whipped up Crumple, a quick PHP, web-based app to take, share and publish notes, code snippets and white board doodles. It's free, no account is required, and fast.

We've had about 100k users use V1 now. For V2 (like all the cool kids these days) we are trying to implement additive AI in the background. eg. Text Prompts, Img to Img generations via doodles, code snippet audits. If you are a script kiddie and want to jam with us holler at: labs[at]lazyeight.design , we're putting together a small solo team.

PS: To claim a Crumple note. crumple.me/[name] , ps: remember to put a password.

Feedback is appreciated and as always thanks much for your time.

My notes on building a creative agency

A few years ago I decided to start a creative agency. Note - I had no idea what I was doing (I was previously an excel jockey on Wall St.). I tried Googling around "How to/not to/[fill] build a Creative Agency", nothing existed - still doesn't. http://xn--21b8b7c.com/ (Exploration 1) has my notes and I have made them public. Writing is my Kryptonite, so pre-hugs to my grammar Nazis. Also we...

You guys should check out - lazyeight.design , we're essentially trying to build the world's first creative agency on the cloud and using a ton of data for project estimates and to calculate our monthly hourly pricing (which changes monthly).
