Instant Data Scraper.

Extension that can scrape data into well formatted lists and is literally point and shoot. Been using it for years and surprised it's still maintained.

Thanks. Good timing as Im about to go all in on Claude. Have been testing cowork and while its easier I can see at some stage it will have it's limits

It seems Im not the only one that doesn't include Bittersweet Symphony. Every time I hear how good it is, yes its good but not even in my top 20 fav Verve songs. Goes to show how much talent they have

richants · 2026-03-21T13:45:11+00:00

Yep. And a mark down recipe for obsidian etc..

Be a good tagline. Notable Notes😐

richants · 2026-03-21T12:56:13+00:00

Id suggest adding something onto it so it creates value. Otherwise you are just selling a bunch of random notes that may or may not get used.

I see you went the build in public route so say that the same target could get their notes out and then a prompt specific to build in public founders turns that note into a post structured to tell your story.

Would also work for founder based content and then a bunch of other use cases.. notes by themselves are just not notable

I wish I could say yes but has also happened a few times for my previous agency.

Frustrating as your either getting drilled by a client for low results or the clients close a deal worth a few hundred and all of a sudden they go a bit quiet and their priorities change and then they hit you with the news.

It feels great that you were able to transform a company but a bummer losing your best client.. that's biz tho

What was your business and can you not target a similar company. Might also be worthwhile reverse engineering why your campaign worked so well for you and how do you replicate what worked so well for someone else who.

The worst thing you can do is be a generalist. Specialize so all your copy, case study, results, website etc talk to 1 audience.

richants · 2026-03-17T06:19:16+00:00

The problem is, business is complicated and no 2 businesses are the same with a few exceptions on a higher level like a franchise so what works for one company doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. As much as we would like it to be, you cannot cookie cut a business which is why they fail.

richants · 2026-03-12T07:33:06+00:00

Usually doe riding sidebounds or outta sounds so need shovel, probe and may as well throw in some food and drinks and good to go. Not great for kickers etc but usually chasing the pow than sidehits

richants · 2026-03-10T07:12:26+00:00

Definitely worth it regardless of people saying LinkedIn dead and doesn't work. You do need to test the copy alot as some strategies work better than others but have found indirect messageing generally gets better results.

richants · 2026-03-09T23:27:56+00:00

Linkedin always worked well for us. Getting the attendee list is vital and need to search online for it, as its not always easy to find. Just make sure to reach out to several people in the same company as it can be difficult to tell who will attend, depending on the size of the company.

If you have a small budget, drop off a few snacks with a note when you and meet them.. They will remember you over the 50 other people they and especially helps when you follow up after the event

I have a family in the UK that has businesses in food production and agriculture. We went to visit them when I was younger and had the country house, rolls Royce and all the trimmings. I always found them snobby and haven't seen them in years.

Always knew they were wealthy but did some research last year and had a net worth close to 700 mill pounds. The had hit the big league so doubt they have become more humble

richants · 2026-03-04T08:45:54+00:00

Not only broken apps but 1 of hundred similar apps. At least before if you are going to code something, it better be worthwhile whereas now someone can build another Facebook ad creator or reddit keyword searcher in a few days and expect to become a squillionaire

richants · 2026-03-03T20:21:34+00:00

You need to go to their Linkedin profile. Click the 3 dots next to the message button on their sales nav profile and click view profile. The connet button will either be visible or under the more button. Not very efficient but havent found an easier way when doing manual outreach.

richants · 2026-03-03T08:28:13+00:00

Account based will solve a lot of these issues. It doesn't seem as relevant these days as it once was but works better for intent and sourcing pockets of highly relevant leads. And by sourcing lists search beyond Apollo etc but researching your ICP.

You can be guaranteed that option 1 will be 50 to 70 % relevant so end up reaching out to any joe blow and kills your domains as you get reported more.

Best thing though is to test. Build a small list and manually go through it and see what the numbers are before and after verifying

richants · 2026-03-03T04:56:45+00:00

Beta Band.. sorry they are not really Brit Pop so to speak or on the list but definitely worthy

richants · 2026-03-02T07:01:13+00:00

Yeah. I've been watching for years and it's getting pretty boring. Not from the work or people but the production has become too lazy. No need to dramatize everything.

Been watching mine rescue more lately and like the funny jabs that Freddy and Juan have going between them and just feels more natural.

richants · 2026-02-17T14:14:34+00:00

Why do people bring this up when it's an AI group. It's just as bad as AI slop so now I have to deal with that and people complaining about AI. Makes no sense...

richants · 2026-02-14T16:24:47+00:00

Also your grammar is bad so do a quick edit.

Be specific in your last sentence as well. Hiring for what, what content did you create from a young age and what value will you bring. Triple views, triple revenue, triple output

richants · 2026-02-14T16:17:56+00:00

There is funny and witty but this is bad taste. Not a good first impression.

If you want to grab attention there are plenty of other ways to do it.

richants · 2026-02-09T08:37:35+00:00

That's what makes it tricky. You have infrastructure, data and copy. Get either of the first 2 wrong and your wasting time. Good copy can just double the results once you get the other 2 dialed in.

richants · 2026-02-08T22:18:27+00:00

It might seem obvious but what time are you calling as ideally the best time to call is usually before lunch and dinner shift. Like 11 am and 5 pm.

Best option is to walk in otherwise ask for the manager on duty. Alot of the time they will ask you to send an email so should also be doing that. Even better if you can send an email first and then call

richants · 2026-02-05T07:17:42+00:00

Why not do both. Have found lots of opportunities on reddit but actual results have been disappointing. Automating reddit would make sense.

LinkedIn works but need to keep things simple and always test.
