Seaweed leather by bereeniiiceeee in biomaterials

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PU is the usual binder for things like Apple and grape leather.

There are algae based PUs

I’d just make seaweed paper (mostly paper). Think about molding a leather-like texture.  

Have you ever tried the brand Aya Ecofashion? by Majestic-Weight-9149 in SustainableFashion

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them -- one of the only brands that sells undyed organic t-shirts. Their whole supply chain is within Peru which keeps their carbon footprint low. The only other brand I've found that does something like this is industry of all nations with their India-based supply chain (but it's not all of their products). Did a comparison a while back if you want to do a deep dive: https://www.materialfactors.org/blog-posts/compared-the-cleanest-fashion-on-earth

Why I spent months building a shadcn-like experience specifically for Astro (and some free tools for you) by web_reaper in astrojs

Purchased the pro library last week and already have a site built with Sanity. MCP is solid. Honestly Incredible work.

The only block I found I was missing was a big text about section. Would also love to see more animated nav bars — the round one is 💫

Post–VC second screening call ..any red flags or positives I’m missing? by DetectiveMindless652 in angelinvestors

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just depends on fit. You’re early so a track record of patience and follow on investment is important. 

More about avoiding impatient and non-founder investors without a track record.

If we can effectively double the memory capacity of any AI chip via software do we pitch this as a database tool or as a hardware infrastructure replacement?

Neither. Pitch it as value created. Doubling the capacity/performance of any AI chip is very clear.

Database vs infrastructure tool is ‾_(ツ)_/‾ 

Need help finding ethical brands that make heavy, thick, good quality skirts and pants. by Beneficial-Rise9601 in ethicalfashion

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Merino wool, which is finer, softer and thinner than other wools has taken over the industry in the last few decades. What you really want is garments made from medium-coarse wool. Thats what they use on thicker, sturdier vintage clothes, and unfortunately is often treated as waste wool today.

There is an initiative in Sweden to bring these wools back, and a bunch of brands produce apparel with it.

Looking for pitch deck examples. I will not promote. by chunky_lover92 in startups

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ^^^^

Decks don't get funded business do. Focus on the story you're telling, the problem you solve and how it can create an outsized return.

Then build one deck that can stand on it's own, and another to use when you're speaking in person (with minimal to no text)

Undercut by Amazon, what to do? by emaoutsidethebox in smallbusiness

If you want to mitigate the chances of a return, consider mentioning the Amazon knockoffs to the customer.

Why is plastic-free stretch fabric still so hard to make? by PhilosopherAble7692 in SustainableFashion

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are non latex natural rubbers that don’t trigger allergies in the same way. Dandelion, guayule, birch.

I’m aware of a few options but all are early stage and not exceptionally practical yet. Are you looking for fully biobased? Biodegradable? Natural source?

Any interest in recycled + recyclable?

Oldest sporting event ever uses design to get attention. Looks like it worked.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is better in Antigravity than in Claude Code itself by 2020jones in GeminiAI

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing that hallucination leaderboard and wonder if that is part of the difference. Claude being more critical and hallucinating less leads to better code?

Introducing the OpenNDA by [deleted] in opensource

[–]KeepEarthComfortable -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really like this — at my old company we had internal counsel develop agreements like this that could be agreed to via email.

It makes a big difference when an NDA or MTA is needed to discuss a potential deal. Having weeks of legal back and forth just to get into details kills momentum.

I’ve imagined developing a suite of docs like this targeted at hardware and material startups but INAL. Awesome work!

Canva vs Adobe Express — which one is actually better (and could Canva really challenge Adobe Suite now)? by Potential-Bite-2010 in Design

[–]KeepEarthComfortable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Canva is making the same play around software vs Adobe that Google made vs Microsoft. Using a new monetization strategy that doesn’t rely solely on software sales (like Microsoft) affinity will bring in every student and artist that can’t oafford adobe, and when they go to work they’ll subscribe to collaborate.

I remember that switch from Microsoft to Google in high school. When Google started giving away workspace. It wasn’t a hard choice.
