I had signed up for the Venture Labs course earlier this year and found it very interesting. Unfortunately, due to time commitments and various other issues I did not follow through with keeping up with the course.
Could you give me some pro cons of the Venture Labs course itself? How has your experience been so far? Keep being awesome.
Thanks for the question. The ride has been particularly fun so far and I don't think a short answer will justify the experience. I've started a blog post that I'll put up later this week and cross-post here. If you want to reach out via email, I can drop you a line when it's up. (Or you can subscribe to blog in my profile.)
Quora has some nice stuff, but it's less of a site that deals with news. I also have no doubt that the quality of the site would go down if their traffic exploded by an order of magnitude... which is clearly the case at HN in the last few years.
No one's to blame of course, content quality (where quality is a measure of honest reporting) and market forces seem to work in opposing directions.
I really enjoyed memrise when I used it but I wish it had a couple more features for languages, like sentence building with the words youve learned. Also, I would've used it everyday if there was a mobile app. Its been awhile since i have played with it though. Overall, a great tool and I've recommended it to fair number of people :)
Thanks for the feedback - I'll try to incorporate something along those lines and let you know when it's finished, perhaps you can let me know if you like it.
Satire gets old really fast. Be funny and not snarky.
Do something other than write satire on a consistent basis like having a fake Q&A with a fictional character.
