Haha, no way, I wonder how many of all participants were on drugs!

The tactics might've gotten a bit sneakier, but the idea is over 100 years old. Too bad she couldn't just've gotten a lift, like this guy :D

Re:Logo for Food App. Thoughts? on Friday April 08, 2016 @12:09PM (#11455722)
Ahh, sure, of course, with that it makes a lot more sense, that helps loads!
Re:Logo for Food App. Thoughts? on Friday April 08, 2016 @03:22AM (#11453105)
It looks cool. I get the location mark. But is it a person? An animal? I wouldn't have a clue that this is about food if I saw it without context. All I'd know was that it's something nearby. Might just be me, but the person-ish feel to the logo makes it seem like it's a meetup app or something related to social activities, rather than food.

Love the casual tone of this. No fancy champagne party, just a VLOG style video from the CEO. We need more of this kind of modesty and humility. Thanks for building this!

While mathematically correct, this only holds true if they are exactly as productive from say 12 pm to 2 am after a long day as they are from 5 am to 7 am after just waking up.

Possible? Yes.

Likely? No.

Where did the author say he or she is going to bed late? I go to bed at 9 pm, it's a matter of priorities.

I love how you used the math to figure out you have an entire month more, that's definitely sick! Thanks for sharing :)

That's the deal. I'm not much of a party person anyways. I do get to take a nap in the afternoon though, if I do that ;)

hadn't thought about that, but something worthwhile, for example a coupon for a free meal

Growth Hack Idea (Dropbox-ish): Invite 1 person to receive a bonus – but just 1

from the self-post dept.

What do you guys think?When you sign up you'll be prompted to invite 1 person via email - but you can't invite more than 1.Reasons:-will keep the exclusive aura of the product -it's easier than "invite as many as you want" -everyone knows at least 1 person's email by heart -you will think a LOT about who you'll spend your invite on, and thus pick someone who's a good fit as well -if you know...

This is my passion project to make sure I read and write every single day in 2016. I wake up at 5 am, read a book summary on Blinkist, and share 3 learnings in a neat format with a 1-sentence summary and my favorite quote of the author.

Readers can learn 3 things from a book in 4 minutes or less and this way also pre-select which book to read next.

Posting everything publicly makes sure I'm holding myself accountable and don't fall off the wagon with this habit again.

Hope this helps you!
