Ask IH: Products that embrace constraints

Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster.

I am starting a little newsletter for fun and sanity.

If your product or service embraces a severe constraint, I would like to promote it.

Drop a link below, with a sentence or two about what constraint makes your idea unique!

  1. 3

    Can you give an example of a 'severe constraint'?

    1. 1

      Sure!

      • When Twitter launched, tweets could only be 140 characters. That severe constraint was a key differentiator.

      • I have seen a couple aggregators on here that limit descriptions to 10 words (I think there is a 50 word one too).

      Those are all constraints on content length. I feel like there are products that stand out for other reasons too.
