@billyfscd @robfitz Answering the permission question before it's asked is smart. Have any teams let it in yet?

When you test an idea, ask people what they do about the problem today. Not whether they'd use your product.

People are kind about ideas. What they already spend time or money on is much harder to fake.

Around 1990, wireless networks ran at one to two Mbps. A CSIRO team led by John O'Sullivan aimed for 100.

Part of the fix came from radio astronomy. His old group hunted for pulses from exploding black holes, and the same kind of maths cleaned up signals bouncing off walls.

@ShailMarathe That makes sense. Are Indian SaaS founders moving to usage-based pricing to cover it, or capping usage on cheaper plans?

@hirobuild Great, thanks Hiro. DM it through whenever it's ready.

@iam_p2 @devloot_xyz Congrats on the first paying user. Did they find you through search, or somewhere else?

@billyfscd @robfitz The seconds test is a good way to put it. What are you testing at the moment?

@rajatsuri @FoundersInArms @jgreze @immad A pivot from AI tax prep to a work assistant is a big jump. What pushed Town to make it?

@IAmTheGarnet1 @Nehakathare Patches for an Obsidian plugin sound handy. Which plugin are they for?

@jijojohnz SEO doing most of the work is a good sign it'll keep compounding. Good luck on the run to $10K, Jijo.

@teeRex247 Making free concepts for new founders is a nice way to learn fast. Which fix made the biggest difference to those homepages?

@loading_X__ The actual journey tends to land better than the polished stuff. Good luck getting to 1,000.
