The histogram is great, nice work;

I want to ask about adjacent projects - user interface libraries that provide input elements for providing ranges and approximate values. I'm starting my search around https://www.inkandswitch.com/ and https://malleable.systems/catalog/ but I think our collective memory has seen more examples.


Clever sounding but rather dry without an example - anyone seen one?


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.


Criminality/terrorism is the stated reason, but it is a clever way to push out the larger operators. Retail good, wholesale bad. Less upward pressure on real estate prices.


The “think of the children” type of excuses is always helpful. Strange to use a terrorism excuse though since there is already negative sentiment about “too many AirBnB apartments in our city”


True dat. Altho they also have to counteract any pro-AirBnB (landlord) lobby.


Great website & copy!

Are you obtaining the data via partneships with sources, or scraping? If the latter, do you forsee risks from the publishers?


Thanks!

We scrape only publicly available data and promote fair use.


Curious to hear about typical use cases for this


What's the mystery?


They’ve been posting for well over a decade multiple videos a week consistently and also provide the step files for download.

No one knows why they are doing it and it’s pretty darn cool.

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.


1. No preference on this. It sounds convenient to do it all in one platform, but I assume that increases our exposure to potential vendor lock-in shenanigans. 2. Separate pool.

Thanks for the questions!


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!


It was originally made for tabs actually, but I thought that getting the images for clothings would be a little more interesting to build around. Perhaps I go back “just” tabs?


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.
