I searched http://hunch.com and the 'launch' news comes up first, otherwise I like it. Nice job for a couple nights. I did one of those once, Free Ideas, http://insidepeace.com (now down), and I still get inquiries from designers who want to give me 5% for nothing. Best of luck to you, though, tao.
I often go to https://www.indiehackers.com/products. Sometimes I feel inspired by new projects. Note that it’s just a way to find ideas, not one to know if this idea will work or not :)
I did go down this path with http://www.errorlevelanalysis.com/, hoping that the development time would pay off and bring in future work. So far it's just been a tool that reddit and 4chan use to spur on comment wars.
Building something cool that has actual utility to someone, may be a better strategy.
Also, Sleep.FM was chosen as a TechCrunch40 semi-finalist, chosen to present alongside Google, Microsoft and Facebook at NY Tech MeetUp, landing on Engadget.com (the readers comments do not all mirror comments here) and other encouraging things!
Again, i was just politely posting for a UI designer who maybe available and interested.
Loon is not competitive in a world with Starlink (even without Starlink it seems).
The business didn’t make strategic sense.
I still really liked their original goal of loon for all and the first video they made for it: https://youtu.be/m96tYpEk1Ao
It’s a little sad they had to downsize and give up. I guess Licklider was right to title the original internet paper an “intergalactic computer network”.
Musk started with interplanetary goals and he’ll at least end up with one that covers the earth.
Considering the actual name of their project is his exact blog URL [1], I can't imagine they looked that hard to see if anyone else had the idea first.
