We need a better, open emoji pack for the open web. One where a bunch of companies fund it, we choose a design direction, and then a roadmap to keep iterating.
If you're interested, please DM me. I think it wouldn't need much money to rival Apple.
Twemoji is a good step in the right direction but it's still not as gorgeous as Apple's emojis after hearing a lot of user feedback.
Plan: Raise $50K-100K. Find 4-5 stellar designers. Have each make 15 emoji's in various styles. Pick 1-2 designers that will conform to a winning style for the remaining emojis. Release them. Make a distributed font.
In 6 mo, Mighty will have a world-class design team to complement its great engineering team as we leave beta. Design will be critical as we make a great browser for work.
$25K award if you refer someone we hire. DM me if you know someone great.
I am looking for two people to form a team that includes me.
Looking for folks with a prior track record of making great products with a team.
2/ A quick little demo showing @MightyApp in action: indistinguishable from Google Chrome running at 4K, 60 frames a second, while taking no more than 500 MB of RAM.
After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇
2/ Clarifying your plans: the first thing I did was write down a 7-page Elon Musk-style master plan. Write down what problem you plan to solve, how you'll solve it, and why it's important. Then have your smart friends critique it. Let no valid question go unanswered.
3/ End every conversation with an expert about your industry with: "Why do you think I am going to fail?" to lean into brutally understanding what you need to de-risk.
