Your compensation is dominated by the function of supply of and demand for labor, not how much the company makes from your labor.

It's an app to help 2+ people choose what to watch together on the most popular streaming platforms by presenting semi-random titles, asking each person to vote (swipe left/right), and settling on the "best" based on most votes/popularity.

It was born out of endless scrolling through Netflix (and the like) with significant others and friends, and not settling on something to watch. Instead, this shortens the process by allowing everyone to give their input, but accepting the results from the app as the thing to actually start playing. As the creators, we've almost exclusively used it to choose movies or series to watch, and have often ended up watching things we'd have never found naturally in XYZ streaming service's UI (so at worst, we created an expensive away for us to avoid getting frustrated finding something we agree on).

It's limited to usage within the US only for now, as wrangling all of the metadata is time consuming (and we're based in the US). The UI/UX needs some help, as it was built by backend devs with React Native. The backend is Scala/Play/Redis/Postgres deployed on Docker Swarm.

- Ability to mark cells as "locked" (i.e. "definitely present"). It's hard to play it on a larger grid since you have to keep it all in your head - Built in calculator of some sort where you could multi-select a few cells and it would show their sum somewhere. Otherwise it's too much arithmetics to do manually

I did horribly in math because I figured it was hard and just accepted I'd never be good at it. That quote somehow managed to dissolve my mental block.
