Valuations: 100, 0, 0, 0, 0, 100
Median Valuation: 0
David Chee: I thought something like this already existed? Also my understanding is this is something that would be extremely quick and easy for a Manifold dev to set up. Valuation would go up though with some sort of track record and gamification element.
James: Project is not launched or accessible so 0 impact.
SG: It seems they haven't released anything yet.
Rachel: Seems to have some of the same problems that the old swipe interface did—people don’t want to bet on most markets. And I’d think that if you would be willing to bet on almost any market, wouldn’t you still prefer to bet on markets that suit your interests, so isn’t the feed still a better discovery mechanism? The hiding the probability does seem like a useful feature, though I think that would be better as an optional mode on the main site.
Inga Wei: Unsure of how useful this is
Austin: I appreciated seeing the demo of this tool at demo day! I wish you had a link up so we could have played with it ourselves and given feedback. My general advice is to “ship early, ship often” — as a builder, it’s easy to get stuck endlessly polishing your work, but the feedback you get from users is a lot more valuable and helps guide you.
The other thing (I think I mentioned during demo day) is that improving the design of your work would go a long way towards convincing people to give your product a try. The bar for UI quality is fairly high among consumer apps nowadays; I’d recommend https://www.refactoringui.com/ as one resource that helps a lot with honing your skills.
