Hi everyone 🖐🏻 I'm building a second brain! Under Cloud is about transforming notes and research into a personal discoverable web with simple annotated links. I launched it here on Product Hunt some time ago. It's in beta at the moment, and it's free. It'd be amazing to get some feedback!

A bit late to the discussion here, but Elon Musk demonstrates the limitations of transferable knowledge — AKA the Mike Ashley syndrome. So who's Mike Ashley? He's a British billionaire retail entrepreneur who bought Newcastle United without the slightest understanding of what it takes to run a big established football club, and manage the expectations of a fervent global fan base — sound...

Finding a co-founder!

Hi @elifduran and congratulations! Be available. Be responsive.

I need to be in a cool, dark, quiet environment. Working in an office is almost impossible for me.

Yes! Allow me to explain… I am self-motivated (I've been running a business since 99, alone most of the time), so there's that. But, there are some things I have to do (such as accounting, or anything I think is tedious) where I sometimes spend a lot of effort trying to avoid doing those things!

What, apart from the fact it's like herding cats, knitting fog, and polishing hens' teeth?

Hi Hannah, I often find inspiration in things that are of their moment (recent events), or when someone points out that something I've done or find obvious could be useful to someone else.

If you click on the Analytics button and then the Security tab, you'll see global Threats. Chances are, those lost visitors weren't the visitors you either want or need. I've been using Cloudflare for a long time for multiple problems without issue.

Hi Ian, I like the thinking — it's the sort of approach I've taken in the past. At the moment, I'm looking for assistance with the product-market fit for the Under Cloud. As for what services I have, anything in the profile on LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/octaneinteractive/ ).

A and E, but since I'm pre-startup, the product-market fit is proving to be near impossible for me — I have a negligible network.

Hi @rynwrrnr, I need someone to handle the business development, and keep me out of it until it's time to get up on stage to talk, do talking head video, interviews, podcasts and such. People are a problem I struggle to understand, let alone solve.

Hi @ohsik, it's strong. Two minor things: 1. it isn't obvious that the Features & Benefits on mobile slide left and right, so perhaps add arrows; 2. the Sign Up could benefit from aligning central on mobile, but that's a subjective thing.
