Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything.


I prefer react-css with react mostly because I can import styles and treat them like regular objects. I also find it much easier to do responsive styling by computing CSS values with js.

Another reason for this approach is that I believe React Native will be the universal framework for mobile and web development and it also uses this method of styling so I'm adapting to it.


I'm still using straight sass a lot (via node-sass/webkit) mostly because of legacy use of bootstrap.

For future looking projects, I'd be inclined to try jss or aphrodite (for some reason I always think ambrosia when trying to remember that framework's name).

I think that tighter integration to an application and controls will be better for webapp consistency... for a website, I might be inclined to go the post/precss route... though invariably it may come down to whatever UI kit I start from.


My style is continually evolving, especially as I get more familiar with TDD/BDD. The biggest thing though is to do as much planning as possible before even writing a single line of code.

For front end stuff this includes wireframes and mock-ups.

For back end work I try to first model the data structure with as many features as I can think of so that I can picture what a mature version of the app may look like. This helps contextualize things so I can structure them properly. From there I will prune it down to only what is essential for MVP and then start building things out to support that model.


Doesnt the ETF also open the door to institutional funds that are normally restricted to specific assets? Seems to me that is the biggest advantage of a bitcoin ETF as it will open the gates to more capital for bitcoin investments.


This is exactly my thought as well. Not just for institutional money either. This makes it dramatically easier and simpler for retail investors (in both taxable and tax advantaged accounts) to get some exposure to BTC.


Thank you!


Does anyone know who did this or a writeup about how they did it?


Is it possible to deploy an MVP or at least gather signups before going too far?

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Investors dont give a shit about your idea. What they want to see is that other people are willing to buy into your idea OR if you are so amazing that your idea is ahead of its time then at least you are able to execute on it.

Until you can prove either of those, you dont have much so dont bet much.


Fair enough, I already have signups as well as potential investors (I declined them because I didn't feel they were a good fit).

As for an MVP, I need about $150,000 to get the business going. I already have a basic prototype, but would need to dedicate time to finish it.


No, its a hipster thing.


All of the human subjects (at least 6 subjects) whose hands are being tracked are wearing mirrored sunglasses, and fashion considerations are significantly less likely to cause "100% compliance" than safety considerations are.


This was discussed on /r/oculus and it was suggested that Microsoft could be overdriving the infrared so it's for eye protection


I would go B2B because business are more likely to pay for things that save them time and money. Consumers generally dont like to spend money, which is why consumer services are typically free or cheap and usually generate revenue through ads.
