What are your thoughts on the big tech CEOs and the current administration?

Ohh I see what you're saying. I guess you can start in plan mode and then once you're ready to tell it to proceed then shift+tab to auto mode?

Yeah I have --dangerously-skip-permissions configured as a preset for Claude in Superset, but you can add more commands too. Just go to Settings > Terminal

if a VC investor is doing their job well, they will make sure to keep investing in your company until they have a good amount of ownership. This means it is against their incentives to introduce you to other investors or do anything else that interferes with their ability to buy more shares in your company for a good price.

this is only true for larger multi-stage funds who compete with each other, not for Seed or Series A-only funds

Very cool - is it possible to simulate this on a live production site (i.e. instead of Halluminate Flights, just test the agent live on Expedia)? Even though you don't have access to the backend json, presumably you could verify the right values were entered in the frontend/UI?

This is really cool. I used the OG Codecademy to learn how to code, this is kind of like the next-gen version of that.

Re: 3rd party integrations, think glue code for enterprise platforms (I previously worked on the developer platform at Shopify).

For example, a guide to integrate Shopify's Storefront API with Sanity CMS. These are usually a marketing/product thing more than developer docs... and almost always become obsolete after the next release and forgotten about.

Would've loved to generate a bunch of these guides and then automatically keep them up-to-date with code examples, and help serve both purposes for growth and developer docs.

Very needed! I’ve worked on platform teams and API docs were always rushed last second to push out a release—-but in many ways they are the product.

Another pain point was creating guides/examples for integrating 3rd party tools. Could be worth exploring

you might consider that it's precisely your depth and breadth of experience, which isn't common across most teams, might actually highlight why a solution like Fortress is valuable

A couple use cases were already listed in other comments:

1) Document search 2) Translating plain english <> Legalease

But seems like the highest leverage here is building a copilot for authoring new contract templates that Common Paper doesn't offer yet (maybe the legal advisory panel could assist with RLHF training).

Love what you’re building here. How are you guys thinking about potentially integrating LLMs?

Just learned that the token lasts for 6 weeks, so the issue might lie in how you’ve implemented the session.

Take a look at the hydrogen demo store, auth is implemented using the customer access token and Hydrogen’s CookieSessionStorage:

You can use hydrogen and the storefront api to renew the customerAccessToken: https://shopify.dev/api/storefront/2022-04/objects/customera...

I don't personally click through on web search results from Spotlight (usually I just use Spotlight to search for an app or shortcut on my phone), but I think Siri is the biggest unlock here.

I’m looking into fabricJS for a project I’m working on too. Did you try other libraries like konva?

Sorry to hear about the loss of your girlfriend. This is an amazing way to honor her life, and important work you're doing to help solve a painful problem for millions of people. I've lost a family member to this disease, and have friends who have as well. I'm going to share this with someone I know who is also battling opioid addiction today. Thank you for building this.

This is cool, a few ideas:

1) Would like to understand why certain journalists were recommended to me. I like the idea of showing example articles, but the ones provided weren't relevant to me.

2) As a startup, I'm mostly interested in a journalist's influence and reach (ie. how many people are going to see this?). Topic relevance is also important, but at the end of the day I'd rather be written up by TC rather than by a local news org. Does the ML take influence/reach as an input?

3) It'd be useful to select my ideal outlets, e.g. national outlets, industry-specific, geo-specific, and then get results based on those preferences.

Main takeaway:

Work on something together w/ people you like and on an idea that you are truly excited about and strongly opinionated on. Shit will get hard and most people will quit too soon (esp if they don't like each other or don't care about what they're doing). Don't be those people.

Hey there, we actually think these are all really important differentiators. They might seem simple or arbitrary, but they're really hard to get right and are incredibly important to planners and guests. Of course we have a playbook for creating barriers to entry from a strategic standpoint, but we think getting the product experience right and focusing on the things that matter to our users is the #1 thing we can do.

We're definitely taking this seriously. Sports is a big market and you're right it's totally underserved. We've looked at some of the more specialized solutions you mentioned and there needs to be something much better.

One of the things we're working on to better support sport teams is helping with roommate assignments. We've done some of this manually so far and know how painful it can be, so now we're building it into Roomblocker.

We'll be doing outreach to tournaments, leagues, and teams - if you have any contacts would be great to connect. Either way, thanks for your help!

Great advice and appreciate it!

Thanks Ju!

Hey that'd be awesome, thanks for helping out! My email is dave@roomblocker.com

Random side note: I met my co-founder playing basketball. Good way to test a person's character ;)

Thanks for the kind words!

TLDR - we streamline group bookings for every step of the way, from getting the best group rates to helping you fill and manage your room block.

Thanks for the question. There's a few important things that we're doing differently from anyone else:

1) Roomblocker is for all groups - for corporate events (conferences, offsites, etc), personal events (weddings, family reunions, etc), and social events (student trips, sports travel, etc).

2) We match you with a real person to personally negotiate the best rates and terms. There's no fees and we don't mark up rates. Other solutions just forward you quotes from hotels and then you're on your own.

3) After you've booked, we provide a dashboard and a link to your room block so guests can easily reserve their rooms online. You don't have to mess around with spreadsheets, or provide an obscure call in code, or send guests to some clunky hotel site.

We're also doing small things that help streamline group bookings, for example integrating e-signature so our users don't have to fax paperwork back and forth with hotels.

There's a ton of opportunity in this space and we're excited to help bring this industry forward!

We couldn't agree more. Groups is an important segment for hotels (25% of all bookings), especially with Airbnb taking away from the other segments.

Great point, and you're right - personally negotiating with hotels is hard to scale. Our customers really like that we do this for them so they don't have to, and we're streamlining this to make it faster and easier on both ends. We're being really careful with which steps we "automate", since group hotel bookings is a very people-centric industry.

Thanks and we will definitely look into this more. If you know of any specific tournaments that you'd recommend targeting, would love to hear from you dave@roomblocker.com

Great idea, do you know any teams that might be interested in trying us out? :)
