Please build more silly things

    Yeah, I agree with this - it's like how you make something better with multiple iterations. So the hacks are essentially iterations that will lead you to a startup idea because you're building your knowledge along the way and will eventually land on 'the one'.

    Agree with this. Seen some pretty funny launches on PH before where there was a chrome extension that didn't even block youtube ads, but just made them into cat videos.

    Before launching Evoke, I did some "practice" in launching, but less with "goofy" ideas, but rather more oversaturated ones like dropshipping.

    I like to add a lot of wit and humor to my apps. Currently I have a pay what you want option or you can send me a joke and if I think it’s funny enough I will give it away for free.

    Yes, just don't mistake those silly things for something better until they are actually something better.
