kunalgupta··on Bootstrapping to €600k MRR and getting killed by Shopify: Checkout X
Their mistake was that they built something hard that was literally a clone of Shopify. It made it hard for anyone else to want to compete with, but it was exceedingly easy for Shopify to compete with. Most Shopify apps build features that Shopify doesn’t have, and therefore the App Store revenue share model makes more sense for Shopify.

kunalgupta··on I stopped buying new laptops (2020)
I never buy new computers more than once every 5 years because it takes like 3 days to get local versions of openssl and node or whatever to run correctly enough to run an app and it's the hours of my life I most abhor. It's just lost time on earth.

That being said it obviously pays off in productivity at least every 5 years. Maybe 3 is net positive? At this point i think we are climate doomed without acceleration so productivity is environmentalism

kunalgupta··on We are wasting up to 20% of our time on computer problems, says study
I track this! < 5% but still a lot
kunalgupta··on Goodreads was the future of book reviews, then Amazon bought it

kunalgupta··on Intelligence Officials Say U.S. Has Retrieved Craft of Non-Human Origin

kunalgupta··on Show HN: I made CSS Pro, a re-imagined Devtools for web design

kunalgupta··on American Hippopotamus (2013)
fascinating. At first i wasn’t sure if this was a fan fic fantasy rewrite of american history concocted by gpt4, but it seems that this is not fake news: hippos were really the vision to MAGA once upon a time
