SEEKING WORK | New York, NYC | Remote

Fractional Head of Product I work directly with early-stage founders across all things Product

https://twitter.com/taykcrane https://linkedin.com/in/taylorcrane

email: tc at onederful dot work

Background:

- Founder/CEO of clubspoker.com (backed by Village Global, recently acquired)

- 10+ years PM

- Launched 9 new products and scaled a handful more (real estate, consumer, gaming, enterprise SaaS, web3, ed-tech, etc.)

What I do:

- Work with 2-3 clients at a time

- Everything from Product strategy to roadmaps, 0-1 MVPs, GTM, hiring, user research, analytics, sprint management, QA testing etc.

- I either own the Product top-down, manage a cross-functional team, or focus on select high-value initiatives, depending on needs

I would give my left arm to be using internet forums again. Online communities adopting Discord and Slack was such a terrible move in hindsight.

Definitely rooting for this to take off.

You can email me directly at taylor@clubspoker.com, mentioning Hacker News and why you'd be a good fit in the email.

Thanks, what browser/OS are you on? I definitely don't have this experience. Sounds concerning though.

Do you know if this is reversible? If I ever want to switch at some point in the future?

Although I want badly to agree, I can't help but think that it's a slippery slope. We can treat this election like a special case because we think it is one, but ~>40% of the US population will vote for Trump in November. We can't condemn 40% of the population, can we?

What's the counter argument to this?

They did indeed :(

Huh. Disappointed they changed it, would have thought I have the right to describe my own site! Oh well.

Ah, there isn't, but that's a good idea. Is there a playlist in particular you wanted a link to, I can pull it up for you.

Re, #1: I wish, but since these are just Instagram videos, they have to be square. I suppose I could force it to be wide-screen but that would chop off the top and bottom.

2. A few have asked for this, I'll have to build it. It was just an MVP issue frankly.

Thank you!

Regarding the flash issue, you're right, I'm noticing this too. Completely didn't think about that. The "let's go" button waits for the sound to finish loading, but if it never does, you can't start it :/.

I'll look into this, hopefully not too many people are affected.

Hhmm. Do you see a big button that says "Let's Go!"? If not, you may have flash blocked/disabled. LMK what browser you're using. Really sorry about that. Promise it's worth it!

The default is one playlist, yes. But if you head to the "music" tab, you can choose from a bunch more!

Haha, I can but it will leave you unimpressed. This was my very first coding project. It's a front-end app, so good ol' fashioned HTML/CSS/Javascript. Libraries used were:

- jquery

- Datamaps (for the map)

-ElementQueries.js (to do responsive design for a given element, pretty cool, check it out)

- Bowser.js (to detect browser)

- moment.js (for the "time since")

And I think that's it. LMK if you have any other questions.

Thank you so much for checking it out :)

Gah! You are correct about the map not resizing. Has to do with the library I used, called Datamaps. I could listen for window resize events, but for the MVP I figured it wasn't worth it. Thanks for pointing it out though, I'll get to this.

What did you to do get that map stuck in your screenshot? Never seen that before.

You and I are on the same page, I love your idea too. This is my very first project, I'm entirely new to coding, but hopefully eventually I can extend Hyperlax to what you're talking about. Appreciate you checking it out!

Hhmm, thanks a ton for that info. Not sure yet if there's anything I can do about this, but I will definitely look into it.

flash? There should be no flash on the site, it's an HTML5 video. Very strange..., never heard of this issue before. If you can provide more details that'd be great, but no worries if not.

Light bulb actually = "dark mode", it hides everything else on the page. I intentionally left it ambiguous to see if people would curiously click on it :)

Thanks for checking it out!

Sweet! It works great with Chromecast and Apple TV, so have at it :)

thanks for the feedback! Weird, I don't get the outline myself. I believe I did use outline:none; but I'll double check. What browser are you using?

Really excited to share a personal project I've been working on here. If you check it out, I'd love to know what you think.

Enjoy a peek into the lives of others, from locations around the world. Hyperlax is meant to be a bit of an escape, a bit voyueristic, a bit relaxing. I think it's mesmerising. Maybe you will too!

I couldn't agree more. Granted, I think it will be a much slower process than say, the Digg exodus. I think in the next few months if Facebook doesn't make some drastic improvements (read: simpler), it will be past the point of saving. No turning back.

Yes, it is an actual bank. With an ATM card (and no fees). You are right the demo on the website didn't hint to that too much, but perusing through the site it becomes a bit clearer.

I also emailed support a while back wondering if it acts as a layer on top of my existing bank, or whether its a replacement: their answer was "its a complete replacement".

No android app :(
