pmzy··on Free-Floating Anxiety: When You Feel Anxious for No Apparent Reason
Breathing is such a powerful tool at our disposal. It feels a bit silly to say, especially with the many gurus telling us we are not breathing right, but I think there’s some truth to it.

Like many of you, I haven’t visited DN in a long time. Though I liked it.

This post gives me nostalgia.

RIP DN

pmzy··on Don't chase f*** you money
Yes! f-you money is greed. Get rich, just don't become Gordon Gekko :)
pmzy··on Don't chase f*** you money
The problem is that it rarely really ends. That's human nature, we always want more. People get rich and they want to be richer.

pmzy··on Kagi.com is unstable for all regions
I’m a fairly new customer, but I’m really enjoying Kagi. It brought me back to using a search engine instead of defaulting to GPT.

I too appreciate the transparent communication!

yes, excellent point. Might be relevant: https://ggnotes.com/progress-is-a-journey
pmzy··on The best way to get unstuck
that's excellent advice! I do that too sometimes. Somehow related: Putting a STOP-LOSS on your worries, as Dale Carnagie says in the excellent "How to stop worrying and start living"
pmzy··on The best way to get unstuck
haha. Good idea, I might steel this theme for the next post ;) Joke aside, I have problems doing "nothing," and I believe that doing nothing can increase anxiety when you feel stuck.

OP here, I've read this book a while back. Now I'm thinking that it might (among other things) have very well influenced this blog post :)
pmzy··on Show HN: I built a domain name marketplace for folks (like me) who hoard domains
cool. Good job launching your first project. How do you plan to spread the word about it? A marketplace is only as valuable as the traffic it gets.

pmzy··on Mistakes I made while launching Non-app Calendar

pmzy··on Mistakes I made while launching Non-app Calendar
Hello! First, thanks for purchasing. Also, thanks for your feedback: very interesting to read.

- I'm a bit surprised that you say there are no product pictures. I included the whole product in pictures where I describe the process. What do you mean?

- I used to have a "buy" button before the fold. I removed it because it caused losing sales. People where getting right to the price without reading the benefits of the product.

- The sales letter format is a choice. I could have used a traditional webpage but didn't want to. Still a valid point and I understand that it isn't your favorite.

- Agreed about the pictures next to the testimonials, that's something I should do!

- I'm not happy with the current copy of the purchase button. Although I don't think I like "Instant download" much more. I might try something in between whenever I have the time.

- Gumroad doesn't handle the VAT mess (for now).

- Good point on the currency, I've had some other feedback stating the same point.

- Again, good point. I should improve the "About" section.

It's "just" a side project and while the sales page has performed really well, there's definitely room for improvement :)

Oh and thanks for purchasing and recommending it!

Hey, thanks a lot for the comment. I agree on your points. I would probably not double the price or anything. But at one or two euros more, I would have probably sold the same amount.

Regarding capturing non-conversions, you're right: it's probably more tricky than it seems.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. GA can do the job, but if you take time to set up a goal etc. If you just include the snippet, you're missing some precious information.

Pricing is a very subjective thing. Thanks for your idea about the samples. I'll think about it! :)

Hey! It's not. Although I guess you can fill it using Preview.app (on Mac). But it has been thought to be filled away from your computer.

Hey! This is my first (design-wise) b2c product. Hope it'll help some of you guys to set and plan your goals for 2015.

I answered too. We use a homemade solution but it's quite a pain to maintain.
