NIL has changed everything for student athletes.
FanCave is a new way for fans to directly & compliantly support current
Idea:

Family Clubs
When you join the app you are put in a club with all members from a common nomination “ancestor”
I’m in the

family 😎 what about you?
@awilkinson
Implies that building wealth is the only factor in the decision between 1 and 2.
There are a lot of other factors that matter!
Happiness/satisfaction, potential impact, etc.
I'm running an experiment: Put together a very small group of bright individuals & teams to help each other bring our ideas to life
super casual, no long-term obligation. daily async standups, group chat, weekly demos/recaps, etc.
comment below or shoot me a DM if interested 👨💻
I’ve had enough.
If Nebraska loses to Purdue this weekend, I will eat a medium-rare ribeye steak, topped with garlic herb butter, served alongside truffle mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, and a red wine reduction, finished with a chocolate molten lava cake.

Been thinking about a common “cool new idea” pitfall
Product categories (email clients, mindfulness apps, todo apps, budgeting apps, etc) label status quo approaches to solving human problems
But you won’t disrupt a X category by trying to build the best X
I *was* excited to graduate

Now that

@lukebogus
is about to have an EPIC week deciding which teams will get access first ⏰
“Athletic departments move slow”
“Let’s wait and see how House shakes out”
“But we already have a 3-year contract with ********* ”
Good tech, solving real problems, debunks all these classic excuses.

Doubled the number of 4/5⭐️ recruits signed up for

in the last week 🎉
The players are ready for a free market system where everyone plays by the same rules.

@ycombinator
should create the logical next evolution of Startup School: Startup University
Fund talented high school students by offering free tuition to a one-year program at YC HQ
Students take a common curriculum and get to observe/learn from two whole YC batches

"crypto cursors"
randomly generated mouse cursors with absolutely crazy hover/click/trailing effects.
You can install and use cursors you own in your browser with a free extension that verifies ownership
Proud to see my refreshed

Being a rising Senior at UNL, I wanted to watch Husker Football as much as anyone else.
But our standing in the B1G means SO much more than who Nebraska plays in football.
Regardless of the outcome, I’m proud to be part of an institution that is willing to speak its mind.

The best product inspiration comes from identifying how users “hack” your product to solve pain points you didn’t know existed
But it’s also possible to do this for products that aren’t even your own
When you use a product, ask yourself: “How are people actively hacking this?”
What if us 328.2 million Americans could hop on a bi-weekly evening Zoom call and have a retrospective to see how everyone’s doing/where we can improve next sprint
Thanks
@Forbes
for featuring FanCave in their coverage of "the next tech unicorns" 🏆
We're building the future of college sports and bringing fans closer to the recruitment process than ever before.
YOU can now help build your dream team... only on FanCave.
What do we use to makes plans with our future time?
Calendar
What do we use to make plans with our future resources (money)?
…
It’s almost 2022 and we still have to wing it when planning how we’ll achieve life goals within our means
College sports are about to go CRAZY
Fans used to pay athletic departments to entice recruits with:
Facilities
Official visits
Photo shoots
Care packages
Stadium renovations
and more…
Today, a court ruling just killed the middleman. *You* can now negotiate deals with recruits
Ex: You won’t built the best to-do list app by trying to build the best to-do list app
You’ll build it by inventing the best solution to the underlying problem.
That problem isn’t “managing a to-do list”
It’s “remembering and prioritizing what I need to get done”
someone: *tweets a critical question about the utility of NFT’s*
the replies: “Here let me show you this screenshot of an article from 1999 showing a 52 y/o who wasn’t sure about the utility of the Internet, thereby proving that NFT’s are the future”
Wow, This thread (🧵) blew up!
I guess other people have some shameless promotion here 🤗🤗🤗 I will also shameless promote!
Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel and give me a ~FOLLOW~ here on Twitter - hah!
Coaches are being more and more vocal about what it takes to win financially.
It’s not about being the *biggest* spender, but the *best*.
In the words of the almighty Nick Saban: “If you don’t pay the right guys, you’re $#*% out of luck.”
UW coach Jedd Fisch: "We all saw what the Ohio State-Oregon game looked like. That was a battle of two $20 million rosters."
Fisch alluded to the fact that upcoming rule changes -- i.e. revenue sharing -- should allow teams to even the playing field.

Waitlists are here to stay.
They serve as a powerful way to…
- Generate interest pre-launch
- Acquire leads for validation
- Reward early users
But building and managing waitlists is a chore!
☑️ meticulously plan and optimize every second of the day
☑️ live in the moment and be absolutely careless about planning
all productivity apps (try to) enable the former
it would be just as “productive” to enable the latter
the golden ticket is enabling both
