You can make a difference here by writing down your conversations, and even by listing the names and descriptions of these priducts (people might search for Newton and then find the Simpiter...) I'll be your cheerleader if you need one! (Here's something similar I did for a computer here in Canada: https://jacobfilipp.com/icon/ )

Taking a long break, but also working on the following:
What plants you should grow if you want a "second harvest" of beautiful dried seedpods, to decorate your home.
Decorating ideas for the round concrete pillars that many new condominium units have nowadays.
"Juicy" text editor ideas - making the most gamified text editor. The absolute opposite of the zen editor at https://enso.sonnet.io/
jfil commented on Ask HN: What could I build to make your life a little easier? · Posted by u/uint9_t
Ah, thank you for the offer!
* An alliteration dictionary (you enter "cat" and it suggests "catatonic", "cab" etc.)
* A simple free file sharing service based on webrtc. Dont make me remember/enter a weird code into my devices. Give me a qr/what-three-words code.
* Something that'll help with my vector graphics workflow: I hand draw on paper, photograph with my phone, send to my laptop, vectorize on laptop, publish on wordpress. A webpage that does the vectorize + share part should be straightforward.
* Build a phone app that you use in realtime to look over a patch of clover and find the 4-leafed ones. Sell them. Become obscenely rich.
* A tool that lets you take an image, slice it/mark distinct areas, open each one as a separate tineye/google image search. For visually matching subsets of a bigger image.
Hey, I really like it. I lived on a canal boat for a few years, the map looks familiar. Except the tsunamis which I couldn't get past. Maybe some sharks and crocodiles would add some adventure. Sent this to my family who are living on a boat now.
Thanks! This is the Kennet and Avon canal, right as it turns into Bath

I’m curious / what other ways do people contribute ? This is obviously a blind spot for me.
Like, contributing a sense of fun? Being cheerful?
I worked with a junior team member who constantly moved around departments chatting with people. From one angle, this looked unproductive. From another angle, they kept everyone apprised of what projects other are working on /major developments in completely different departments - this had wide ranging benefits.
