I strongly recommend people give this a try. Its got so many quality of life features (like picture in picture).

Most notably, this is laying off their entire acquisition of Weta Digital which was an audacious $1.6B purchase.
After which Unity did nothing to take the proposed products into the marketplace.
Just Weta FX - those were the guys and gals that used Weta tooling for producing films and such. Not Weta Tools - those are the guys and gals building and maintaining the Weta tools
nithayakumar commented on Ask HN: What is the best thing you learnt or got out of Hacker News? · Posted by u/ggr2342
This is as meta as it gets, but I learned what it sounds like when smart sounding, but closed minded people try to shut down an idea.
Looking over all the old YC projects that ended up being wildly successful, but their HN threads were full of naysayers who are better at sounding smart on the internet than providing actual feedback. Learning to differentiate between that kind of poster and people who have genuine feedback that reflects what users actually want is invaluable.
I was going to come here and say exactly this at the risk of being flamed. Love seeing this at the top
nithayakumar commented on Show HN: AI Data Chat by skills.ai – ask your data anything skills.ai/chat/... · Posted by u/data-leon
Very cool. We're working on something similar but we went more narrow because its really hard to unravel the business context from just the data alone. Ours is ponyrun.ai if you want to check it out. Also open to chat and share learnings if you're open to it.
nithayakumar commented on Ask HN: Would a DB of startup tech stacks be valuable to you? · Posted by u/lsj0627
Ive seen data sets like this and they've been bad. My main issues have been that dataset isn't kept updated, theres no sense of proportion (e.g. is 1% of the team java or 50%), and there's often not enough companies in the dataset.
So bad that I probably wouldn't buy this data without some proof that its good data

Awesome - lots of potential here.
Lots of folks are asking "who is this for?". I think that's because the people that should use this don't know that they should yet. And it's probably missing the hotel/car angle too.
This would let people like planners (e.g. destination wedding), events (e.g. festivals), and the like simplify and make money through the entire customer experience/journey.
Good luck!
Does this hold true if you charge $150 for lifetime license vs $50?
I think you have a pricing problem. This is what I see for you:
Subscription Monthly = $84 / year
Subscription Annual = $50 / year
Lifetime = $50 One Time
If I see myself using this for about half a year, I'm just going to get a lifetime sub.
