| Screw that... I'm going to find a co-founder right here! :) https://getpolarized.io/ I need someone really awesome in product + growth OR an amazing React + frontend developer. We've made GREAT progress so far.. Here's the rough elevator pitch. Polar is a tool for managing knowledge which is kind of a hybrid of Kindle, Github, and Slack. Polar allows you to keep all your knowledge and reading material in one place. You can easily suspend and resume reading complex technical material and annotate and take notes directly without ever having to leave your reading platform. More specifically, Polar implements spaced repetition, is a technique from cognitive science to prevent the user from forgetting the material they've read. This same technology is used in other platforms like Duolingo but we apply it to other areas outside of just language learning. ... and here's what I'm struggling with at the moment. 1. The long term vision is large but I have to do a better job of explaining the short term vision. 2. I need to do a much better job of conveying the 'aha' moment to our users who visit the site. 3. Marketing right now can definitely be improved. Huge opportunity there. I've nailed a LOT but of course everyone has limited talents and time. The areas where Polar shines: - our users that 'get it' LOVE Polar. - we have a lot of users that STILL love Polar but are waiting to come on board due to one or two smaller missing but critical features. Like Firefox support or mobile or something along these lines. They users LOVE the app once they get the aha moment. |
Despite that I'm probably not co-founder material. I'm heading back to Uni in September to study comp sci. But I'm interested in finding impactful side projects.
