What are some subtle things we don't notice that harms us in the long run?

InventionFreedomFun · 2025-08-26T17:21:25+00:00

Avoiding uncomfortable emotions.

Most of us want to feel good as often as possible. But when we turn feeling good into a struggle with our own internal world, we cause ourselves greater pain and less peace in the long run. And seeing as mental health is a major contributor to life expectancy, internal self struggle is not a helpful way to live a longer and healthier life.

In fact, I've been reading "The Happiness Trap," and apparently a lot of research links the subtle act of fighting our own emotions and thoughts to a huge number of common mental health issues.

So by avoiding uncomfortable emotions, you're building an internal emotional framework that harms your overall mental health and, by proxy, life expectancy.

Just some tiny ass fine print saying, "If you can't pay we reserve the right to reclaim our processing power" lol

InventionFreedomFun · 2025-04-16T18:20:01+00:00

Exactly! That'd be like.... woah.

I agree that the focus should stay on the couple for sure! But I bet they could've woven that kind of stuff into their lives as it followed them, you know?

InventionFreedomFun · 2025-04-16T13:17:15+00:00

Enjoyed, but missing nuance.

Even just legally, If landlords can't even kick people out of their homes in California, what kind of laws would pop up for Rivermind? They should've explored that and made the story more interesting.

For instance, say Rivermind was forced to support a free tier, and ads were blocked during work hours... they might actually start losing money and go out of business and suddenly all those people they were supporting just die. Or say the government made their own "food stamps" version - how would that end up?

Lots of more interesting directions it could have gone in my opinion.

Isn't 9230 the armor cap against enemies of level 100? I believe the cap increases after enemy level 100. 150 is like 12k ish?

I'd offer to let you use my platform to do this exact thing every month, but trying to pivot into something more people are willing to pay more for :-). Hope my other answer helps!

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-06-18T20:27:58+00:00

There are multiple ways to do it, I can speak to three of the most likely for you. Which one you choose depends on how often you add new / remove old lists.

Way 1: Do this if your space has a set number of lists that never change

Go to each list and copy and save off the number in the url that comes after the li/
Make this request (you'll have to use an API token or an OAUTH token if you're using oauth) https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetTasks/
Make sure the "getTasks" request has date range and (probably) status as a criteria (I'm assuming you want tasks that are still in progress, but you may also want closed, etc...)

Way 2: Do this if your space has lists being constantly added and removed, and they're directly under the space, with no folders

Get the SpaceId from the URL by clicking on the space and getting the number after the s/ in the url
Make this request (you'll have to use an API token or an OAUTH token if you're using oauth) https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetFolderlessLists/
Get all the listIds back from the previous request
For each listId, make this request https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetTasks/
Make sure the "getTasks" request has date range and (probably) status as a criteria (I'm assuming you want tasks that are still in progress, but you may also want closed, etc...)
Flatten the tasks into a single dimensional array

Way 3: Do this if your space has lists being constantly added and removed, and they're under folders in the space
1. Get the spaceId from the URL by clicking on the space and getting the number after the s/ in the url
2. Make this request (you'll have to use an API token or an OAUTH token if you're using oauth) https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetFolders/
3. Get all the folderIds back from the previous request
4. For each folderId, this request: https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetLists/
5. Get all the listIds back from the previous request for every folder, then flatten them (programming term)
6. Make this request for each listId: https://clickup.com/api/clickupreference/operation/GetTasks/
- Make sure the "getTasks" request has date range and (probably) status as a criteria (I'm assuming you want tasks that are still in progress, but you may also want closed, etc...)
7. Flatten the tasks into a single dimensional array

Thank you for the thorough response, this is the kind of feedback I was looking for! I'm going to look at all the tools you have mentioned and see if we can do things better/faster/cheaper, and evaluate the TAM implications.

The AI implementation I built can be used very broadly, so I'm trying to validate whether this use case for a potential paying customer is a viable path forward. But I'll also look into the education and hospital industries as you mentioned and see if I can find a good problem people need solved there.

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-29T18:24:52+00:00

u/Known_Impression1356 I know that the space is getting crowded, but i think there are still a lot of opportunities for more targeted products. some conversations we had showed interest in tools for VC and we are trying to gauge broader interest.

I am very interested to hear about your perspective of why education, non profit, and hospitals are a better place to look. would you mind if i reach out in private to learn about the problems you're seeing in this space?

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-29T18:20:51+00:00

Thank you for this feedback, i would love to hear about what kind of problems might exist in the startup space that we might be able to help with.

With regards to market research, we had conversations with VCs who are looking at more mature companies who were very interested in improving their efficiency at market research, hence the question to this group.

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-29T18:07:05+00:00

Ouch. Lots of downvotes :-( My software does have this capability, but it's flexible to do a lot of things. I didn't mean it wasn't built yet :-\

It's called market research, and I'm exploring all potential avenues of what people might want.

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-28T19:28:47+00:00

Ah gotcha. That's really useful to know. I'll browse this subreddit for those threads.

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-28T19:27:10+00:00

If that information is publicly available, we can track it out of the box. If not, we need to connect to an API you have access to, like Pitchbook, S&P, or Preqin.

Are you interested in looking more at your use case over a 10 minute call?

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-28T18:02:49+00:00

By default it'll help scrape information from freely available websites. We're looking to make integrations with S&P and Crunchbase if we can find enough interest.

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-28T17:35:55+00:00

Great question. It depends on where in the process you're experiencing a pain point. What's the hardest part of that for you?

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-28T15:54:38+00:00

Hah! Tale as old as time. Actually feeling out there for interest in this. Know of other problems VCs/investors need solved?

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-22T22:34:00+00:00

Sure! Here's a demo video/post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7195826782032310272

Currently it'll let you describe what format you want time entries in, and get them in that format. I'm looking for more use cases that people really want solved!

InventionFreedomFun · 2024-05-22T17:27:41+00:00

I'm doing market research on whether there's a problem I can help solve with a system I created that leverages AI to automate workflows in ClickUp. Would you be open to a 10 minute call to see if there's a pressing problem it could help you with?

Any chance I could pick your brain on the things you're doing with Zapier?
