ebellity

A bit of nostalgia. I just randomly stumbled upon this website that seems to be from another era - 1996 - pretty much the year I started to use the Internet and created my first website. Thought I would share :)

Hey HN. Being a solo founder, I decided I would write monthly updates so people can follow my journey, and I can make myself accountable on progress (if any!)

Pretty cool !

Thanks but I also have my own side projects / products, the goal with this would be to invest in something to get a decent return without all of the risk associated with creating something new!

I'll definitely do that, but this is a first more lazy attempt :)

Can you share which ones ?

They don't have many other options though. But it's very time consuming to go through all listings.

Thanks. I kinda remember it. But wanted fresh comments/suggestions as it's been a few years :)

Yes - about $70k

I know of 1kprojects, Transferslot, flippa, empire flippers and FE international but it's a bit hard to sort through everything to find quality products

Hi Nadya, thanks a lot for the feedback and taking the time to test and upload screenshots, I appreciate !

About your first comment (words you know not coming back often enough) I think it's because most of the datasets I've added are too large. For Hebrew (which is the language I'm trying to learn at the moment - and why I made this website in the first place) there are smaller libraries with 30-50 words and the experience is much better. One thing I can do in the future is add ways to select smaller subsets of a dataset of just a few dozen words and just "play" with those.

1. I agree, I just implemented that 2. I had not noticed that, thanks, will improve 3. Yeah that's a tough one. It works ok for some nouns and not great for some other words / prepositions / adjectives. I plan to build something on top of it where users can say if pictures are not relevant / not helping, or they can vote on good pictures, perhaps upload or create another mnemonic. Perhaps adding exemples of sentences in context could help as well. 4. Just fixed it!

I have just implemented a non-logged in way to use the website. There are a few features that will require a login (choosing its "preferred languages" and being able to see words you already said you don't know well, basically a better algorithm for displaying the next words

If anyone has feedback, don't hesitate !

I don't really know where to look except songkick, which is why I don't go to many shows here yet

I didn't understand exactly what it's about or what it does

I like the idea. Maybe you could leverage Songkick API to support more cities ? (I moved to Tel Aviv recently and it's really hard to spend the time to find out which concerts are worth going to)

Looks like the "app store" business model for news subscriptions... interesting. Very often I feel like I would be interested in subscribing to a media outlet but I don't want to go through a cumbersome payment process, possible issues with cancellations later on etc

Really depends on the topic and if you're able to write something that will be interesting for readers... or not

Thanks, someone said pretty much the same thing to me but couldn't share the data. I'll increase the ARPU number again to reflect that, sounds like they're extremely profitable...

I made it, you can make one too !

I've fixed that, thanks!

Thanks, I agree, maybe like a "pull request" that can be accepted / validated by the owner

Good one to think about, thanks

From what I've read they just gave a few hints such as the number of subscribers for Tinder Plus or the overall increase in revenue for Match Group, but not a lot more than that.

You can see the source for that 500 estimate below in the model (or if you click on the variable name). 200 was in October 2016 and they planned to double in the next 12-18 months.

frankly that's a weak part of the model, I have no idea how much they spend on marketing

thanks, I will try to update that ARPU number

wow, interesting

Spot on, a big inspiration for me ! I really like RapGenius and even looked at some of their UI while I was developing this.

Either this or "GitHub for business plans" (but many features missing for that, to collaborate, fork, go back to a moment in time...)

True, there might be people spending a lot more than the average cost of a basic subscription. I don't know the product well enough to evaluate if having Tinder Gold is enough or if some users also buy one-off app purchases in addition to that.

Thanks ! Indeed, that's actually something I should have added before posting here (to collect a few emails for future updates).

Timeline is also a big area of improvement. It's good to be able to see a snapshot at a moment in time, but I'll have to develop ways to make it more clear which it is, and perhaps to extend that and make projections for months/years to come.

Update : I've now added a top banner to collect emails for people interested in company news
