Thanks, and this is what I was doing too--the answers are pretty good, but because it makes mistakes sometimes, I wanted to build in a way for a doctor to supervise somehow at minimal time/cost to everyone involved.
Would a supervised version of a gpt-4 by a real doctor ever be something that you'd pay for? Negative feedback would be super helpful if not.
I think I'd pay for medical verification of some of the information if it were from a small independent medical provider that didn't just grind me through their system--and that I could develop a history with so they knew when my last tetanus shot was when I crash my motorcycle in Zanzibar, etc. But I could automate most of my medical questions that didn't require a visit.
Probably not for me – I don't think I'd pay, I just don't get sick enough / worry enough. I could imagine for a hypercondriac or someone who wants that piece of mind.
The idea of someone (or ai) knowing me and having my records does sound valuable, especially if it could be added to / stored safely.
One thing I have noticed, more often around guys is an attitude to just put off going to the doctors, or just forgetting. I guess because the friction is high, possibly an embarrassing situation. If you can lower the friction and triage (maybe human assisted) or lay out the steps of what to do next I could imagine that would be useful. e.g catching a cancerous mole early, that because its easy for you to ask, you do and then the tool smooths the process to getting checked out (explanation + organisation / booking).
Does that help?
Hey Marc, thanks again for the invite, and great idea on testing a new version every week. I'll start doing that. I've never had subscription revenue before, so it's important learning from everyone here.
I'm on Google Cloud Platform right now, and they sponsored me 2,000 USD but will sponsor 200,000 USD if I get venture funded... which I was kind of torn about because it would pay for a lot of GPUs. Azure has a similar program I was testing out.
Great idea about Natgeo too.. I'll reach out to them.
It seems like virtual tourism is hit- or content-focused right now so have been testing out nerfs to try to differentiate to help other creators instead.
I ended up joining a reading group that put together a list around the Personal MBA & includes ~50 books, articles, audio books, and blogs. Organized by topic per week.
Here's my copy of the list: mused.notion.site/Business-Se…
Also Make (readmake.com/) -- like condensing those titles for an indie hacker.
I try to buy independently to get around vendor lock-in--as a result, my digital shelf is scattered. If anyone has recommendations for managing epubs and pdfs, I'd love to hear. 🙏🏻
I had a crisis about this recently and maintain everything on Ghost for the emails that we send and want to be read on the web after: ghost.org/
We got too many subscribers before publishing again, so I'm going to try selfhosting because the platform was too expensive (after ~10k).
The major drawback for Ghost though is I can't segment our audience, so I don't know how long we're going to last with it.
Otherwise Mailchimp for everything else, and SendGrid connected to Django for sending verification/welcome emails from our product signup, etc.
Hey Kory, I wanted to say something similar to Mohan. I haven't made these very often, but I've heard people that are way better at it than me say to condense to a single CTA as much as possible and offer a lot of social proof.
Kind of out in left field: could the first block on the homepage be a form for reviewing a meeting that people could send to each other? Kind of the way worldtimebuddy shares overlap? Or a video / demo as Mohan mentions would be great.
I love the illustrations--did you draw them? They look great!
This is great feedback @all_over_the_place & @luke 🤩🤩.
I think I got too excited about how much I liked the graphics / design and didn’t spend enough time on the copy / messaging.
@all_over_the_place the product will be starting out as a feedback tool that will ask some pointed questions after the meeting has happened to help new managers understand where they may have blind spots. The second milestone is to build out an agenda builder for the manager to use before the meeting.
@luke i was thinking of having a “try it out” button where you’d enter your email address and it would send you the feedback form to assess a fake meeting so you could see how it worked and then it would email you the summary. It would let you see what the attendee sees and what the manager sees. But I don’t want to make it too busy.
Ah, that's cool! -- and yeah, the graphics 🔥 This tool would have been super useful for me hooked up to Slack, but that was a few years ago. I don't know what people use now.
