Hello HN! Blockchain Curated is a weekly cryptocurrency podcast with a twist. I curate the top blockchain-related articles and convert them into audio (real human narration, not text-to-speech). Clear out that Pocket backlog, and subscribe via email, iTunes/Google Play, or your favorite podcast app.
We're basically witnessing the unbundling of cable providers networks and rebundling of content on different platforms and companies. Two steps forward, one step back.
A newly discovered favorite of mine is http://stocksy.com - As far as I know it's invite only and/or has a pretty strict approval process for photographers that want to sell on their site. From what I've seen, the quality is often higher than your typical iStock. It's probably a little more expensive than iStock, but nowhere near the cost of Getty where you can spend several hundred to thousands of dollars per photo. The biggest downsides I've noticed so far is that their search/refinement filters are not the best, and they don't have the quantity that other larger stock photo sites do.
Goldbely is fantastic. We (SendHub) are on a plan with them where we are shipped foods for employee birthdays. We've had everything from cheesecakes, 14 flavors of ice cream, and cupcakes to full BBQ spreads. Delicious.
It's the same drive and passion (or bat shit craziness) that leads people to doing these kinds of things that eventually make them so successful...so congrats for leaving the comfortable & making the leap into the unknown... but get ready for the biggest challenge of your life.
I've been waiting for someone to build something that would let me ditch Heroku and handle deployments and on my own infrastructure! This seems very promising
