Why do I feel uneasy about this?

Decent guide/list but it feels as if its for founders who love to build first and leave everything else as an afterthought. Like, the first section is Places To Launch Your Startup.

I understand your concern. The copycat problem is real.

But if you come from a technical background and this is your first time building a product, you'll soon learn that it is so damn hard to get users, especially *paying* ones.

I was there. I built something, shared it, prayed people would notice. The truth is most of the time your product fails. Better explore the problem you are trying to solve first, share your idea if necessary, and collect feedback. You'll have a much clearer picture of what you need to do from there.

Unrelated, but as a non native English speaker it's funny to me that you use MCPs (plural) to refer to MCP tools.

I believe OpenAI used Persona during the verification step that you must complete to use their SOTA models in the API. Not sure if it's still the case now.

Anyway, I found that too much of a hassle and switched to other LLM providers.

Similar experience here.

A few months back I was evaluating one of the GPT-5 models for a side project. Turns out streaming via the API requires org verification, and I decided to look elsewhere.

In hindsight, a good decision given what just came out about Persona.

I just registered at platform.OpenAI.com two days ago for MCP Apps registration and had to do the Persona process! Now I could cry.

Right? I was thinking how come it takes such a simple site to load. Then I saw the footer, it's 25 years old.

In fact, many Asian countries use lunisolar calendars, which basically follow the moon for the months but add an extra month every few years so the seasons don't drift.

As these calendars also rely on time zones for date calculation, there are rare occasions where the New Year start date differs by an entire month between 2 countries.

He does though, especially for the early ones like Nomadlist and RemoteOk. If you read his old blog you will see a significant portion of it is about digital nomadism.

A goal tracking app that bridges the gap between a to-do list and a calendar. Todo lists don't track time, while calendar time blocks are too rigid.

I need something that gives me visibility into my pace on recurring goals while still allowing for flexibility, i.e. undone goals roll over to the next period. So Im building an internal app for myself.

TIL Salesforce acquires Heroku in 2011, way before I was even a CS graduate. I remember enjoying using the free tier of Heroku for my school projects but also the pain of dyno cold starts.
