Last year, I had a recruiter from Automattic reach out to me. Doing my research (as I always do), I read that the interview process is quite unusual. It might be different now, but at the time a candidate went through several interviews, two weeks of paid trial, more interviews, two weeks of waiting for an answer, and little feedback the whole time. So for me, that would mean at least a month of stress and unresolved anxiety. :) Lots of people on glassdoor describe the CEO as "mercurial."
But anyway, things I liked about the company are that they tend to work with mature technology stacks (e.g. probably a culture of iterative improvement vs teardown-and-rebuild) and that all engineers start out doing three weeks of helpdesk. That should be more common in the industry.
Gave it a whirl and it certainly did the job, albeit a bit basic in its implementation. Would love to see it veer into being a bit more creative in its choices (maybe you can have an input for a more chaotic input like they do in midjourney. Congrats on launch! This is very cool
Congrats on launch! Definitely interested to see where you go with this. What I was looking for on the site was more about what the differentiators are compared to the standard planes in the category. A bit more about that and the mission would go a long way (some of what you say here should be on the site). Live reaction here: https://youtu.be/oklA3qnTbsc
Big fan of Martin personally. One of the few startups I enjoyed and then invested in. Mostly use it for creative brainstorming and talking through ideas. On a morning walk I can cycle through ideas and when I get back to my laptop I have a bunch of research done. Team has been cranking for a while so looking forward to the updates.
Amazing. Pitched something like this to a friend a few days ago and its awesome that you've built it. Headed to a game now and down to use it and give feedback (im in two groups and both have people setting up phones to record). Now add in an AI ref so people can stop arguing for 10 minutes over wether someone stepped out of bounds or not in a pickup game.
Used it this morning and had a few quick thoughts:
1) Love the feed, realized its nice to see other random games i have no connection to. Wouldn't have thought it would be entertaining but its great.
2) Export video to camera roll: im sure some folks will want to export the whole thing (update: now i see that you can do it when you full screen it, may want to move that to the menu on the video processing screen).
3) Creating sharable clips that are branded can definitely help grow the app. Seems like you may be able to identify types of highlights, so mashing them up, with some graphic overlays and voiceovers (think play by play with elevenlabs). Have a few folks who work in this space for sports teams that may be able to give some guidance.
4) Turning the screen off while recording is a brilliant feature and is reassuring
5) Realtime scoring is likely harder but would be a killer feature.
This is awesome - thanks for trying it out and for the feedback! I really appreciate it and it goes a long way to help us make the app better.
+1 on the graphic overlays and voiceovers. I personally want to add Mike Breen's Bang bang voice over as an option haha. Also check out mixtapes on your profile page if you haven't yet. You can mashup highlights that way from different recorded sessions.
+1 on realtime scoring and processing. Right now, a recording takes ~30min to process. We are trying to reduce this over time as much as we can until it is close to live.
Probably not. PillPack is MDP: multi-dose packaging, which is little packets containing multiple medications. All they're advertising here is regular bottled medications, which is a much easier-to-solve mail-order prescription problem.
Nice work! I kind of do this with google and reddit already sometimes, as a well written explanation for why someone likes a particular item plus the upvotes do help me make decisions.The format looks pretty good, woudl just like to have a view of all the products at once in a comparison if possible.
The concept of a search that is multi layered is something I see The Browser Company and others doing to make your one search a bit more impactful, so kudos for going in that direction as well. I would do restaurants and search availability as well.
Thanks! We just watched your review together in the living room, and we really appreciate your thoughts+detailed feedback. The list of items is an interesting idea that we'll think about how to fit into the ux. Comparisons is definitely something we want to add later down the line as well.
The idea of restaurants, like you mentioned, would be really great to have. It's not an immediate priority, but once we get Tiktok/short form videos on the site and integrate it well, it'd be really exciting to make and use.
I use stable diffusion and LoRAs frequently so I'm wondering what you hope to offer beyond that? I would love to see something that develops 3d models from these generations, is that the area you're looking to explore? More thoughts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18eIfWb0wug
Thanks for making a video. We will give it a watch. The thing we want to offer right now is the growing library of character (and set etc) assets that can be reused and remixed very easily. We're definitely interested in incorporating models that do 3d representations. We're constantly experimenting with the latest open source stuff.
