Congrats on the launch! This is an amazing product.
Something I would add is a panel with sources in case someone wants to have a deep dive in the information.
My 2 cents: This could be transformed to a state of the art teacher kind of product
I think open offices are great for socialising with coworkers (which is important at least for remote first companies) and for doing shallow work, but it totally won't work when you want to focus and do deep work.
A solution (given that management and the team at large understands how this situation is a problem) is to combine the open office with some deep work rooms or if there are no rooms, sound proof pods (eg. from Framery)
My $0.02 as a response to several comments I read in this thread:
I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s and got Concerta. My belief is that ADHD is not a disease, nor a disability (even though it acts like one very frequently) and in fact there is evidence that ADHD is an important part of our evolution as a species.
The problem(s) mostly relies with the modern way of life and what is expected from the society at large. In that context I try to feel ok when I daydream while I have countless of boring things to take care of as I totally feel ok when I hyperfocus in a creative endeavor.
The meds are just a tool that I use no more than two times per week in order to take better care of myself and others. It is not a therapy and it's not me. I believe that Sensitive Rejection Dysphoria is very real for people like us, but the worst version of it is when you reject yourself because you are different and you try hard to be someone else.
"Peter Jones How we made our Millions" is a very good one with great lessons. Jones is trying to find out the DNA of an entrepreneur by interviewing two British entrepreneurs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foWMmY3xSuk
I had the same problem myself. In fact I still run a couple of forums. And I get at least 3 "remove my links" mails per day. I guess you can't ask them money, but they already cost you money (to maintain their spam and since the panda update read their emails asking you to remove it) so I guess the best solution is just ignore those mails.
Regarding anti spam I am afraid there is nothing you can do. Real humans will create an account for 0.01$ and they will post anything (I tried adding custom code in the post code as well, but those signups are not necessarily bots) In fact they even post if you don't allow them to post links (they post the urls with no http)
Next solution I'll try is social integration. Maybe that would work for some time but even this way spammers will find their way to create thousands of crap accounts in FB, twitter, etc.
That's what I thought too. I guess it wont be hard though to just put asterisks there and store it in md5/sha1. On the other hand allowing the user to change password without knowing the old one it's another security risk, so this is not probably for every app or it needs some work to get done right.
Great article. Funny thing that I was planning with my colleagues a project right before I read it and we realised that planning is not going to help a lot.
I mean it's cool to have some rough estimate but you can never be accurate, especially when a project involves doing things for the first time (ie. innovating)
