Not helpful when you're trying to grow/protect your savings to put your kids through college.

There's something to your idea of breaking this complicated problem in smaller chunks and tackling it over time. Would you like to write about this together?

Agreed but what's the best way for a main street investor with a full time job and families to research? Ratings distill research down into a single number. Super efficient when they work.

+1 works well but long calculate times

很整洁！Really like it!

What's the thinking behind the Bitter font? I thought it was monospaced for a minute, which would've been cool.

May I recommend spacing out the lines? The usual rule of thumb is 1.5x spacing vs. line height.

More examples with photos and figures in various sizes would help users who are picking out the theme.

I also went for something minimal for my blog. Here's a comparable page: https://shan.io/writing/

For a large-screen-centric, all-batteries-included React UI component library, I love Palantir's Blueprint: https://github.com/palantir/blueprint

Thank you! Good point about bots not parsing JavaScript. I find it increasingly important to build and test structured data so users sharing the content within these walled gardens will have a good experience.

I echo what others like @sharkweek are saying - Google has been saying that they index JavaScript for quite a while now. At I/O 2019 they said the crawler should be on the latest Chromium codebase that supports all modern JavaScript features. I built some test cases [0] to see if this is true, and just couldn't get Google to index content inserted via JavaScript. For example, scroll down to the Popover button test case.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Open to feedback. Opensourced code is here [1].

Sure thing! Who's your lawyer? When does she anticipate that you need to switch? As a founder, I always lean towards solving the problem today vs. problems 5 years down the road. Also all major law firms have trained staff on hand to serve startup clients with Captable.io.

Regarding Carta onboarding, there's an involved process and associated fees. You can check out the few dozen help articles they have on the subject matter here: https://support.carta.com/category/415-onboarding---private-.... I recommend reaching out to their team to discuss further.

I can share more war stories we run into - ping me at ray at ltse dot com.

Captable.io product owner here. We serve tens of thousands of startups at different stages. When you do need to switch, say you're doing an international expansion, we offer many export options to Shareworks, Carta and raw data, because we believe that your data should be portable so you can choose what works best for you. Our partner Solium makes Shareworks that's used by pre and post-IPO companies like Nextdoor and Dropbox. We can work with Solium to level you up. Happy to answer any questions.

Congrats Polarr! I interviewed with Borui and team back in 2014, when they were still crashing their investor's offices. I was super impressed by the founding team and all their creations since then. Wishing them the best.

Just want to point out that the author Bruce Roettgers is "an 16 y.o. and like to build stuff." Great job and keep up the good work!

Looks like this is on Android. Gboard iOS app doesn't have this setting.

Pro tip: Home Depot recently started to allow receipts to be pulled up and items to be returned with just a credit card. Ikea does this too if you always scan your Family Card.

After 8 years, thank god! Image heavy pages load 40% faster now, like my photography index with lots more test images: https://shan.io/photography/

Adam talked about server-side rendering in the video. You won't see the graphql queries in network activities.

I worked with Javier (hi! ) at Montage Studio where we built a web app framework and an IDE inspired by the Apple development stack. Javier is an amazing mind and a wizard at CSS. Fun fact: he used to sketch out code in good 'ol Notepad! Here are a few more js1k entries by him:

It's becoming more common now with the 2012 JOBs act, which allows companies to qualify as an Emerging Growth Company (EGC). Companies can then file confidentially and enjoy some other benefits that lower the IPO barrier. Here's info from the SEC about the confidential submission process [1]. $1B revenue is usually the bar to say under to qualify. I built an app to help startups assess their IPO readiness [2]. If you look under Legal & Compliance -> SEC -> EGC qualification tracking, it has a bunch of details.

Thanks, we like Orrick too! They're very founder-friendly. Talking about engineering, see my other comment about how no IPO readiness assessment input data is sent to our servers.

Fair point. Here's exactly what happens to your data - all your IPO readiness assessment input is stored locally on your computer, and not transmitted to our servers. You can verify this by looking at the app's network activities. Optionally, you can share your assessment with us for additional help. Happy to chat more - ray at ltse.com.

Not at all, but you're welcome to share the results with us and get additional help / advice. I won't sell you on how seriously we take security and privacy. I built IPO Ready with IPO lawyers and let's just say they don't mess around. Details are in the Terms of Use in the footer.

Companies usually start to think and prep about IPOs 2 ~ 3 years out. The actual IPO process takes 6 ~ 9 months. People have crammed the process into just 3 months! I built a tool [1] to help startups assess IPO readiness. It's kinda fun to run it against your own employer.

How does this compare to Plottable, another composable visualization library?

Good point, added updated date. This transcript is new, handcrafted with @craigcannon's Podscripter output.

Fixed! With a few other improvements as well. Please keep the feedback coming!

You're absolutely right, this visual quirk should not have happened. Fixing it now. Thanks for your feedback.

I think the biggest problem is transparency, which leads to wrong expectations.

As a 3-time startup employee, people always told me I should expect a pay cut by going to a startup. But how much? When I received a Series A startup offer and a FANG offer at the same time, I couldn't evaluate them side-by-side because I had no idea how much startup equity was worth. I negotiated hard and got surprising results, which left me wondering: what did I leave on the table? What about my colleagues who didn't negotiate?

As an ex-founder needing to hire a team of 6, I had no idea how to pay. We didn't have money for compensation consultants, and tools like Glassdoor and HiringPlan wasn't around. It wasn't until I joined my current team I realized how the top VCs and startups do it - by setting a compensation philosophy and have access to market data. For example, your early stage startup can pay 30th percentile on salary and 70th percentile on equity, and you consistently apply this no matter the type of role.

This is why we built HiringPlan (https://HiringPlan.io) at LTSE. It's a free visual compensation planning tool, and we believe the first one with built-in market data used by top VCs and startups. Founders use it to figure how much to pay folks in terms of salary and equity, and whether they're treating diversity and inclusion with fair pay. Even employees and candidates come to learn what their roles and levels are worth, and use hard data to discuss compensation with their managers.

This is what you're trying to reference: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

This. We hear a lot about Carta's pricing from Captable.io customers. Some folks wouldn't sign up because they couldn't believe our pricing page.

This is correct. Shareholders may increase the voting power of their shares up to 10x over 10 years by registering their shares on the company’s books.
