A liiiiiitle more info on the games from your homepage would be nice! Then I can see if it's something worth playing. Which I'm sure it is! Congrats!
Based on this, I made a way to search party programs instead using vector embeddings: https://zweefhulp.nl. Lmk what you think.

We just reached out and made it super easy to contribute with just a few minutes of their time

Most speakers on Quest haven't published their answers anywhere else before because it's easier to create something sincere and personal using audio. Since people already listen to audio advice in for instance podcasts, we think it works.

Anyway, I'm genuinely sorry for your frustration. I hope your day progresses smoothly otherwise.

Re:Advice from YC founders and partners on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @04:58AM (#28770734)
Soon!
Re:Advice from YC founders and partners on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @04:57AM (#28770729)
Both things we should absolutely do. Thanks!

Ouch, that first one is definitely a bug. As for duration, that's definitely something that's missing and we can fix it by showing a proper timeline. You can already click on someone's profile to listen only to their answers, but we could make that easier to find and do as well.

Thanks for this!

You're not wrong

Thanks! We just get in touch over email and make it super simple to answer remotely.

Thanks! Hotfixing...

Hi, founder of Quest here. Yeah I guess it is! We're building an audio Q&A app where experts answer questions in short audio clips. We're starting with career advice and are already hosting 100+ speakers so far.
Re:Starting an ISP: Deploying Fiber on Monday September 10, 2018 @07:04AM (#17950853)
Thanks for sharing this! As someone in a fiberless city (Amsterdam), with a monopolistic local provider that's unwilling to expand, this is inspiring.

I now little about the stock market, so I'm not sure why you're upset but it sounds important! :) Anyone care to elaborate?
Re:Why First Round Capital funded a lawsuit on Wednesday December 05, 2012 @05:10PM (#4878883)
Could someone explain the process of how those emails were handed over? Is Best Buy obligated to do so, or was it a private investigation of some sort?

Could you give a little more insights as to why this is happening specifically in your country?

How can a project this cool have such an ugly website? It's shit like this OSM...

Somebody should do the same for Dribbble.

Seconded. First time I visit and I already love the concept.

Re: on Thursday May 12, 2011 @11:00AM (#2540769)
Could you elaborate on your distribution? I've seen many posts like this, but they never speak about how they got to those first 5.000 downloads. You say there was no marketing involved...?
Re:Firespotter, a Google Ventures funded incubator on Thursday May 05, 2011 @11:50AM (#2517805)
How do you guys think this actually works in a sense of equity? Google Ventures gets a stake in Firespotter. What happens if they spin-off one of their ideas into a new company? I take it Google Ventures is still involved then, right? Why invest otherwise?

One suggestion: lose the 'the'. Just: 'Deskbook.' It's cleaner.
Re:Upcoming changes to Spotify Free/Open on Thursday April 14, 2011 @06:39AM (#2446321)
There's some heart breaking stories in the comments. A young student, supported by his lonely mother, is now forced to be a pirate again. Honest hard-working individuals now have to drink two whole beers less every month to pay for a subscription. It's a sad, sad day for cheapskates ;'(
Re:Transcending the Human, DIY Style on Monday January 03, 2011 @09:26AM (#2063192)
You're missing her point. Usability is not why she's doing this. It's about curiosity. That makes this just a very early stage ventures to me, which might someday be more useful than we would've though initially.

I really loved reading this post. Thanks Marc, for sharing! I'm sure that brought back some painful memories. Totally worth it to us ;)
