I do venture building, I am a co-founder and single founder of multiple startups. Part of my career was in full-stack development and the other part was in management consulting.

Now I work for startups and launch my own ventures.

Here's a few use cases that are in the same territory, which I tried address at various stages with emacs and scripts.

1. Everything I ever paste (which is longer than >N) will be saved into a file. The assumption being is that it's an e-mail or message with high reuse potential

2. I have a single keybind that launches a script-selector and passes the currently selected text to it.

3. Script examples: save selection as markdown in a preset file (for use with LLMs); send selection to a temporary emacs buffer.

4. I have two shortcut that - take the current text area into emacs to edit it; then, send the emacs buffer back to the current selected area (by pasting). Useful for replying to messages

In Peter Watts's novel Blindsight, alien entities known as "Scramblers" exhibit complex behaviors and high intelligence without evidence of consciousness, relying on intricate physical movements and environmental interactions.

Maybe I'm hijacking, but I see a generalized problem - how do you keep snippets of text that you use in your browser?

My current kludge is to edit long fields of text in an external editor via a browser addon, and have the editor save all such edits locally.

It's interesting to view the story systematically—policymakers likely aimed to reduce short-term rentals. Instead of using taxes or permits, they targeted a step in the system that’s easier to enforce.

This approach, where actions & policies aren't directly tied to outcomes, is rare in current discourse and strategy-making.

Two questions that might help narrow down the options

1. Will you prefer to send the e-mails via the same platform you collect?

2. Will the signed up people be in the same pool as the future users, or will they exist as a seperate pool? So newsletter-subscribers vs. app-users.

Or, following typical advice, you could treat the clothes use case as one of many use cases and develop your positioning and marketing around independent funnels - clothes being one of many.

In other words, the core product is the same for all audiences, but the funnel and positioning addresses various needs.

My first impression was that perhaps the technical problem of having too many tabs is a narrow scoping of a wider problem.

My feeling is that your target audience must have developed multiple strategies or are ignoring the tab issue. However, the core annoyance of too many things to follow and compare is still there.

Perhaps you could experiment with wider value propositions than "just" tabs?

Looks great nonetheless!

Quoting [Bill Ackman’s War on Harvard, MIT, DEI, and Everyone Else](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/bill-ackman-war-harv...)

Ackman believes that our lives are often fated from birth. “I have a view that people become their names,” he told me. “Like, I’ve met people named Hamburger that own McDonald’s franchises.” We’d been talking for nearly an hour and a half when Ackman asked me what my name was, hoping to offer a diagnosis. After he seemed momentarily stumped by my surname, I offered him my first name, which he misheard as Reed. “Read … write,” he said, before turning back to himself. “So, my name is Ackman — it’s like Activist Man.”

Blurb: Explores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.

While the suspicious cases are now almost common knowledge, I'd be interested to read about cases of the opposite - shell companies being used to facilitate transactions and not doing anything remotely shady.

I'm not the target audience but have the following doubt

App icons are a high-stakes one-off expenses for application developers, there are fewer* use cases for needing to continously create new icons. Hence, a plan-based payment seems a worse offer for both you and the clients.
