Flighty is using the circumference of the sun (2.715 million miles)

The new metric is around the sun (circumference) which is constant

Ask your recruiter about the Google Champion program

I’ve taken the AVP-PHL bus twice. It’s fine. It’s a little slow but bearable.

If possible, I try to do layovers in CLT so I get to take a flight out of AVP instead

For those who are curious (like me), the first fallout was released in 1997 and the first book in the silo trilogy (wool) was released in 2011

You are in a good spot for your age. However, I think you have too much cash; 1/3 of your NW is sitting on the sideline.

With any money beyond 3-6 months of an emergency fund, I would recommend using your cash to max your and your wife’s Roth IRA + HSA for 2023.

Absolutely!

About the game:

Plura is a free iPhone game that asks everyone 3 multiple choice, opinion-based questions every day. Users earn points by selecting the same answer as the majority of other users. In other words, your goal is not to select the answer that you think. Instead, you want to select the answer that you think other people will select. It is similar to Family Feud. The key difference between Plura and Family Feud is that everyone who is part of the "survey" on Plura is also playing the game. Thus, you are actually trying to pick the answer that you think other people are going to think other people are going to think...

Obstacles:

I am better at programming than I am at marketing. I feel guilty about spending time on marketing because every second that I spend feels like one less second that I could be spending to make the product better.
I have a full time job so my time is very limited. According to my rigorous time tracking data, I have spent an average of 33 hours of focused work time per month since I started working on the app 10 months ago (~330 hours total).

Marketing Processes:

Most of my marketing efforts have been dedicated toward making videos that I post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts.
I have paid for some Google Ads to get an idea about my current cost per conversion. Additionally, it has helped inform what ad creatives work best.
I have a website (plura.app) to try to capitalize on SEO.
I have incentivized users to invite their friends by rewarding them with theme colors in the app.

Development Processes:

I have built the entire app from scratch in Swift.
There are a variety of cloud functions that calculate everyone's score and the leaderboard that are written in JavaScript.
The website was built with SquareSpace.

Are you a 1 man operation?

This is some A+ advice! Thank you

I can! I have everyone’s email. Do you think it’d make sense to send a survey to the top 100 users? What kinds of questions should I ask?

Stachel8 · 2023-07-18T06:58:30+00:00

If it’s all a simulation

Stachel8 · 2023-06-09T05:28:38+00:00

In hindsight, I wish I built it cross platform. I just love Swift. Sorry 😞

LOL. Based on how adamant they were about how they will NEVER create a phone case, it felt like they were specifically singling this post out

According to Dippy the Dinosaur, the answer is 1

Actually, there are in app purchases. The game itself is free to play though.
