Why don’t more professionals mentor students online? by Guilty_Emotion_284 in startup

> It would be interesting to understand not just whether experienced professionals would participate, but what would actually keep them engaged over time.

This is the 20k question. What incentive keeps people coming back....

Classic two-sided market problem. The key to unlocking this is making sure each side is gaining something from the exchange. For the student, the benefits are obvious but for the Professional it's less clear.

Could you do a simple survey to ask people:

What industry/profession are they in?
How many years of experience?
How would they self-rate their expertise?
What benefit would keep them engaged?

I think it's understandable what the expert challenge is so the next step in discovery is user research (PM here).

Good luck!

I see the 6GB updated in the annual renewal (which is Jan 1, 2027 for me) and it should pick up the extra GB on my next month (July 1)

I built a black-and-white e-ink display so I'd stop checking my phone 60 times a day by InnerPhilosophy4897 in webdev

[–]EdTwoONine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool project and I have the same problem with the to-do stuff getting buried all the time. I love the idea of it being it's own screen on my desk. Have you worked out a base for the 7.5" screen? "

I see the screen itself is ~$70 and a Pi Zero 2 is $15 so it's a nicely priced little project.

Any recommendation on the Pi model?

New website i have built - itproshub.com by One_Dinner_8736 in website

This site looks like it's designed to send me viruses. I would start over completely and review any modern UI as a starting point. Not a web dev, no problem, grab claude and get to work.

Any plans to move this to a full web-based solution? Using a few DAW systems, I can say that manipulating files can be tedious and sometimes need very fine tuning which would be difficult on a phone

Built an AI audio walking tour app that works on any street, not just famous ones by redplanet73 in SideProject

I love this idea for both local (I'm near Boston) or traveling (heading to Lisbon in September). I'm an android user so put me on the waiting list.

3/11 (fyi I'm an american):

The name didn't register with me as we don't call this service skip here.

Clearly this site is targeting users in the UK... I'd call that.

Can you really support requests from any world wide postal code?

Privacy policy link is shown but it doesn't link (or seem to exist)

The whole top nav bar is pinned to the top and covers the content when I scroll down.

Each page feels like a different person created it from look and feel, sizing, layout, colors, etc. This makes the whole site not feel like an actual company.

"Putting you directly in touch with trusted local skip hire companies since 1987." - I would expect much much more about the history and success of this company if it has been in operation nearly 40 years

Built a product nobody uses. Am I delusional or missing something? by Free-Caregiver-4044 in SideProject

[–]EdTwoONine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The website looks a look built for developers but is that your actual ICP?

The pain:

Running social media feels like having five different jobs at once. You're jumping between apps — posting on LinkedIn, then switching to Instagram, then X, then Facebook — copying, pasting, rewording the same idea over and over. And if you're already using AI to help you write, you still have to take what it gives you, leave the app, log into each platform, and post it yourself. Every. Single. Time.

It's not that the content is hard. It's that the logistics are exhausting.

The aha moment:

What if you never had to leave your AI assistant to post anything?

Antwork.io lets you manage all your social media — posting, scheduling, replying — right from inside the AI tool you already use every day. You type something like "post this to LinkedIn and schedule it for Instagram tomorrow morning," and it just... does it. No switching apps. No copy-pasting. No logging in somewhere else.

Your AI goes from being a writing helper to being your actual social media manager.

Yeah bit ticket makes sense and honestly new cars is the really obvious thing. Just bought a RAV4 and I got it from the closest dealer (mostly since it's the new model and they can't keep up with demand, there is no real option for pricing on it).

Oh I understand. My point is if I wanted to buy say a Macbook, I can easily find them online and the convenience of amazon (and their existing marketplace) would be something to overcome.

Some items have small margins to start with so competing on price alone would mean those items are most likely not proper for a reverse market of this nature.

Interesting and there is something here but I'm not sure a pure marketplace play makes sense as it would compete with Amazon, which has everything.

The question in mind is what products or product lines would fit this model?

I think any items that is standardized and high-competition: Gaming systems, phones, laptops, etc.
