Is the name related to Tadej Pogacar?

Hah I had the same question! Thought the project was aptly named if referring to the cycling champ if that’s what it was meant to be.

Interesting. I've never heard of apartment posts in facebook groups but I'm in the bay area.

Do other people here in the US have this experience as well? I was thinking it'd be Facebook marketplace, craigslist, and apartment sites (like apartments.com)

FB buying/selling groups (particularly for housing) are quite common I'd say. In my experience, you will generally find them categorized as part of a college or university (e.g. "San Jose State University (SJSU) Housing"), but a quick search for "Bay Area housing" also results in numerous such groups.

For those curious, Gumroad does offer support for generating license keys which they state "are primarily used for creators selling software."[0] From my own experience implementing this and having used other extensions that also relied on this system, I think it works well for bringing monetization to browser addons/extensions.

EDIT: just wanted to add that you don't need to distribute your extension through Gumroad (though you can). You just make it so that anything behind a paywall requires adding the license key which is generated by Gumroad upon purchase and later verified via their licenses API.

I'm a current Lambda School (LS) student, one small note:

- LS is listed as being in New York, it's actually an online school

Oh man, we did this (MVP style) about 6 years ago, called it Collabo. Tested it with a Facebook group, then we manually connected random people together and scheduled them video chats. We called it "the water cooler for solopreneurs." Really just a fun experiment more than a business. Happy to share whatever learnings I can dig up.

Edit: Just found the homepage mock. "A first-of-its-kind virtual water cooler for freelancers and solopreneurs." It was invite only, too. At least at the start.

Sounds interesting! I, too, would like to know why you didn't continue with this. Also:

> scheduled them video chats

Does a service exist where you can programmatically schedule a video-chat/meeting for two parties?

I wonder if anyone has advice for someone like me who thinks writing a journal is probably a good idea, but I rarely write because I can hardly bear to read what I've written. I always want to edit it for clarity or just throw it out because I don't like it. I've been able to overcome my perfectionism in a few areas of life, but not this one. I like to read other people's words, but rarely my own.

I've struggled with wanting to write for the past couple of years. The biggest aspect that allowed me to get started was realizing I don't need to write for an audience. After that realization, I soon discovered:

1. I like to write because it's therapeutic, and 2. I don't do it for others to read, only myself

To touch on the second point, rarely do I go back and read my own work. I don't think it's necessary outside the initial editing/revising for grammar mistakes. Personally, I'm just happy to be able to create something as opposed to always consuming other media.
