stevematzal··on Big Companies Are Starting to Hire Again, Defying Predictions of AI Wipeout
Thanks, it's working. It's more about "good manners", something posted should normally be easily accessible.

Nice but the article is under a paywall

No repair manual for Dacia? That's a shame.

I'm also waiting but for repo activity logs, in my case a PAT was "compromised" and reset by Github.

stevematzal··on Show HN: Idea Minr – Business Ideas Aggregator
Surprisingly, even silly ideas can transform into great business ideas with the proper execution. A guy became a millionaire in the 70's with Pet Rock; you wouldn't think that anyone in his right mind would buy a rock as a pet but there you go, people are predictably irrational when it comes to financial matters.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, they are all very good ideas for improvement, I'm not really a front-end guy. I thought about making columns but this would probably affect the readability. Hyperlink idea: especially good considering the anniversary :)

Thanks, I thought about it but for now I'm thinking that the human mind is more intuitive in what actually makes an idea applicable and feasible. It's like Kasparov playing chess against Deep Blue, AI might come up with a lot of calculations per second but it has none of the insight and intuition a chess master has. However, there is a startup idea generator at https://startup-gen.surge.sh/ if you want to check it.

When it comes to ideas and execution, Derek Siver's multiplication guide is quite the "North Star" in helping entrepreneurs to orient themselves guesstimate if they are on the right path.

Thanks for the suggestion Pedro, I'm testing the waters for now, there is the possibility that I might add curation in the future.

It's said that an image is worth a thousand words but that it's not always true :) I've kept things simple and without clutter because the idea is that one should be able to parse a lot of data in short time, no one has time to look at a lot of logos that most of the time are not that relevant (for some purposes). Image processing takes a lot of brain computing power :) Sorry for the 'one liner', that's how Gatsby outputs the data.

Thanks Claudio for the enlightening comment. It's true and I'm feeling a bit like this myself, going over lots of business ideas daily for the past month or so made me realize the same thing and this is why I've started doing some research into what makes an idea more likely to succeed (or not). I don't want to discourage anyone from the process of creation because the act of creation is inherently human and through all this aggregated creative effort we are progressing and improving little by little and this is how, in my opinion, the site should be used, to improve upon existing ideas little by little. On the other side, knowing that there are a lot of creative people out there spreading their ideas should give one more courage to do the same, this is another thing that I realized. I'm thinking of myself as an insignificant little spec of dust in the galaxy and this thought actually gives me courage. We are condemned to be creative, we are condemned to try and fail again and again and succeed some times, we are condemned to progress.
stevematzal··on Ask HN: How to find profitable side project idea?
Fixed the color scheme. For sites like ProductHunt and BetaList the information is updated daily, for sites with less activity such as IndieHackers the information can be a few days old. For now you can bookmark the website and check it out daily until I add some social media, a newsletter and all of that stuff.
stevematzal··on Ask HN: How to find profitable side project idea?
I checked out your project and it looks pretty good, I like the fact that ideas also have an estimated value attached to them. Would you mind if I included some of your ideas in my own project - Idea Miner (https://ideaminr.com)? Of course, I will mention the source.
