russtrpkovski··on The yuan is displacing the dollar as a key currency
Who knows how it will play out. I read a fascinating book on the topic. The author is bullish on SDRs.

russtrpkovski··on The yuan is displacing the dollar as a key currency
SDR (Special drawing rights) will displace the dollar before the yuan does. SDRs are instruments created by the IMF that represent a basket of currencies held by IMF member countries.

The yuan currency market is too small and illiquid to displace the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

russtrpkovski··on Ask HN: Why do people tell us they love our idea, sign up then never come back?
Try it one week and see how many people unsubscribe. Our team is also very critical of email notifications so we try to think like normal users. As long as you make the email insightful or interesting, users wont mind.

A great v2.0 feature would be to use NLP and automatically tag and filter the user's tweets. It would be hard feature to pull off but it would take your product to the next level.

russtrpkovski··on Ask HN: Why do people tell us they love our idea, sign up then never come back?
Would it make sense to send a reminder to users stating something to the effect of "you have 200 new tweets that need to categorized?"
russtrpkovski··on Ask HN: Why do people tell us they love our idea, sign up then never come back?

russtrpkovski··on Ask HN: Why do people tell us they love our idea, sign up then never come back?
Is your app social? Can users share their folders with other users? How often are you notifying your users via email of new features, reminders, etc?
