We experienced something similar - we were able to wrangle a $30k/year contract as one of our first contracts, but the expectations around the software were and continue to be incredibly high - we sort of wish he had had a few $100/mo customers first to iron out the UX, and just learn more about how to work with a midmarket/enterprise buyer.

Anyway we survived but we understand why companies move upmarket over time now haha.

This is something I've wanted to see for years - thanks so much for building this - is there a way to suggest edits? Perhaps a way to link a wikipedia account in order to create an article?

It would also be cool to have filters of pre history, Hunter Gatherer, Early Farming, Bronze age and so on!

What happens to company shares that are traded on pisces if after the 5 year sandbox experiment the scheme is scraped?

Love the story about your journey sandy - its been great watching you stick through the pivots!

Thank you! And yeah, getting specialized feeds is one of the main things our current customers do!

Also, hope all is well at Laudspeaker :)

While I think its great there are movements like the "open source pledge" in the article, i think commercial open source software via the open core approach continues to work.

People can grumble about feature gating all they want but its helped build sustainable businesses that maintain projects, gitlab, mattermost, posthog etc

(and hopefully laudspeaker https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker too)

A friend works at an english football (soccer) club on the sponsorships team and yes money is definitely a big driver here!

Part of it is creating more sponsorship inventory - some brands can opt in for space on one of the jerseys that fit their budgets over others, or play around with sizing.

The big modalities we’ve been seeing are Chat, Diffs, In-painting, node based editors

since it "includes the remains of some soft tissues" could we extract the dna?

"AWS CEO Matt Garman, at an Oct. 17 all-hands meeting of the cloud computing unit, said nine out of 10 workers he had spoken with" - sounds a lil sus

The 10th out of every set don't work there anymore....
