mightybrenden··on My experiments with preventing heart disease
This article addresses a huge problem that Eating Academy and https://www.plantdietlife.com/ is attempting to address. This issue should be especially important to a community who does a majority of their work sitting at a desk for long hours at a time.

mightybrenden··on We Built a Hacker News for Biotech
I've been experimenting with one as well (https://www.plantdietlife.com/) I'm getting a lot of interesting from physicians interesting in plant based nutrition. I'm curious where diet's based on plants and biotech will merge. My buddy shared this (https://campaign.soylent.me/soylent-free-your-body)

"Soylent is a food substitute intended to supply all of a human body's daily nutritional needs, made from maltodextrin, rice protein, oat flour, canola oil, fish oil, and raw chemical powders." -Wikipedia

mightybrenden··on The Seven Deadly Sins of Startup Storytelling
The Story Wars are the battle to be heard in today’s overcrowded media marketplace. In the fray, you either tell stories that inspire people to act and share or you get immediately forgotten.

But it’s not just marketers who sell ideas, causes or products who need better stories. Our audiences desperately need to receive them. Ours is a global culture in search of new stories to give our lives meaning and hope. That’s why those willing to tell – and live – the truth in the timeless language of great storytellers will rule the future. Winning the Story Wars will show you how.[http://winningthestorywars.com/]

mightybrenden··on Plant-based version of Hacker News
I don't know the complete story behind HN, will you please explain how PDL and HN have a similar story to you?
mightybrenden··on Plant-based version of Hacker News
plant based isn't for everyone but here is an MMA fighter who is on a similar diet (MMA Fighter Mac Danzig: Athletic Prowess on a Plant-Based Diet https://www.plantdietlife.com/post/11/).
mightybrenden··on Show HN: Highlighting Efforts of Creation from Hacker News
Hi Chris, I agree, underdogs deserve their shot at the title. I actually duplicated the functionality of Hacker News at (www.plantdietlife.com) with an emphasis on plant based diets.

I think one way to address the great idea you're bringing up is to use the code I have produced for PDL (voting algorithm and all) and create another site that's only for peoples personal projects. We can have some sort of verification process where the submissions have to be approved as a "personal project" to be on the home page. Once the item is on the home page we'll demand that it needs a certain amount of comments/likes in order for it to be removed and for the next personal project to appear.

IDK, it's just a quick idea. I look forward to seeing how this vision of yours progresses.
