We're considering both, but mainly listening to the "community voice" right now :)

Linking to data on other sites (including archive.org) seems like a better way to go, than pulling everything in (as you mentioned, storage reqs become a challenge fairly quickly)

That's why we're linking to reviews for now, instead of pulling them in.

One way is to summarize DPR member reviews with GPT4 and keep just the summary / score up.

Ultimately we want to make an awesome review tool on top of this data and start collecting original reviews.

We really had to step on the gas with this one. There has been just so much reverberations in the photo community that it became clear that it needs to be done (and quick).

This is a great effort! But yes, manual adding is slow, so the way is likely to crowdsource/automate it.

We are "hackers" or what?

There should be plenty community interest and enthusiasts to keep the good thing going.

The 2 things we need to save are: 1. content (archiving is being worked on) 2. community (there needs to be a concentrated effort to bring everyone to a new place)

If all users requested their data and then pooled it together, we can build a simple version of DPR to keep things alive. And maybe even build it into a new/modern version. I've put together a quick google form to see if people want to try this plan https://forms.gle/2aGQtnQGw6SJCqVE7

Obviously there's much more content than user data.. but i'm sure we can keep it alive too

You should also have real-time audience feedback powered by MeetingPulse. MeetingPulse: Make your events interactive! http://meet.ps

(I just thought if you make the plug outrageously shameless it will pass for a joke, still being a plug though)

Jokes and plugs aside, it can produce a graph of audience's per-moment sentiment, that can be overlaid on the transcript/video, so you know how they felt at each moment of the talk.

Thank you Paul. I'm missing an ability to collapse / uncollapse parts of written text (meaningfully), so you could see only the plan, or summaries of each chapter, or paragraphs, etc. It would require a very good interface to be useful, but imagine the implications for consuming / learning when knowledge is presented in this way.

honestly been wanting to build this for myself forever

I'd really love to hear pg's comments of wether there is a piece of software, a tool, that could help him write the essays. Is there something that constantly comes to his mind when he writes, in form of "if only there was X so that I could Y".

Or anyone else's

yep, especially being automatically shot by competitors' hunter war-drones.

But hey, this is evolution. Birds have the same problems. It'll be alright :)

.. Lack of taste & imagination, primarily. And, as per recent discussion, lack of domain names.

I noticed myself instantly responding to a good company / startup name. It does the job to get me interested. If there's also a good logo - i'm more likely to like it. I realize i'm a picky designer though :)

"This is bad advice" only until google decides to tweak some rules. (by problems I assume you mean problems with google)

For me it's a matter of principle: I will choose common sense over google. Sure if you're selling SEO services, you're google's b*tch, but when you're building a visionary company (yes, blah-blah), to me it's important to get a good name, and not worry about some ugly .com domain.

- that's what this leads to. No thanks.
