Game changer for outbound sales. Cheaper and more accurate than using something like data.com, and faster/cheaper than LinkedIn. @soroushg_ @stefanstok can you share any more technical details about how slik works, and the tech stack powering the service?

Thanks @karthik! It looks like Jekudo is going to keep me super busy this fall, which is good. But I already have early collaborators in place for a new book on information security, so that may be the thing that I do instead of having a more typical personal life. I can work on my startup and make software with this team almost all day but it's nice to still have some friendships and...

I spent months searching for the most interesting writers that I could find. I originally was just looking for women in startups, or who wrote about women in tech. As the book evolved, it became more intersectional, and more about the experience of not fitting into a stereotype. (I evolved too, along with the book.) Also, tech culture was changing rapidly even as I was working on the book. The...

Thanks for posting this, Danielle! I'm the editor of Lean Out, and will be around if folks have questions or comments about the anthology. :)

I love this - great design, and helpful for connecting people to their reps. We can't let other issues with our representative democracy keep us from building and participating.

I spent several years building dating apps (and being brought into large dating companies to consult.) The world's wealthiest and most beautiful people use matchmakers and other exclusive services. okcupid and Tinder are some of the things I had to give up after I was in valleywag. Sooo....this app makes no sense.

Thanks David! Means a lot from you :) Pocket - from Zaarly - recently joined heading up community for us on the east coast. My username on Glimpse is ladyboss, if you want to send some test messages, and I'm also searchable under #PH.

Yeah, we could do more on the landing page to show how we're different! We just launched social discovery features - if you put a hashtag in your bio you are discoverable under that keyword. Could be useful for people in large groups (national sororities etc) or connecting around similar interests. We'll introduce trending topics soon. And you can upload from camera and write a full screen...

We're building group messaging! We'll be able to support groups with 250 members. :) It should be really interesting to see what happens when you move an email list or meetup group to a more visual medium (Glimpse is photos and videos with text and drawings on top.) This will also differentiate us from Snapchat a LOT more, by making Glimpse more about connecting with people in your social...

Awesome to see Glimpse on Product Hunt, because I really appreciate the (warm/inclusive/productive) community Ryan & Erik have been building. i'd would love to field questions about the app! Our newest feature is hashtags in bios - which makes it easy to connect with folks who have similar interests. I'm adding #PH to my bio now for Product Hunt. Other folks from the Glimpse team (Pax...

David Weekly built similar for MySpace back in the day...
I'd be interested in seeing an app tracking relationship changes on okcupid.
