Been thinking a lot about how fast original content disappears. It seems news footage, eyewitness video, documentary clips and other original video gets buried under noise within a week. Something goes viral on Monday and by Friday the original is gone, replaced by reposts, edited versions, and debates on what actually happened until it's just... not findable anymore.
Curious if anyone has tackled this problem, what approach you took, and what you think about the tension between platform distribution (reach) and platform dependency (your content disappearing under noise). Specifically interested in eyewitness footage, journalism, and documentary work but any category where permanence matters.
A few years ago, shipping constantly was almost a marketing strategy. Pieter Levels, Jennifer Dewalt, Marc Lou building fast gave people a reason to follow the journey. Every launch created another story and more momentum.
But AI changed the equation. Now anyone can ship an app every week, and a lot of them are buggy, generic, and make $0. Shipping itself is no longer impressive.
If you've tried registering a domain anytime recently, you know how rare this is. Usually every decent idea is either parked for thousands or forces you into compromises. Finding a clean, 6-letter .com sitting right there felt like winning a tiny lottery. It got me thinking about how much energy goes into naming in the early stages. Question for the founders and creators here: How do you usually go about finding domains or experimenting with names? Do you use AI tools, churn through registry searches, look for expired domains, or just stick to standard TLDs like .com or .ai no matter what?
I've gone back and forth between these two more times than I should probably admit.
Coda always pulls me in because I can make tables, buttons, little automations, etc. It's fun until I've somehow turned a simple notes system into a project of its own.
Then I go back to Notion because I just want to write things down and find them later.
And then, inevitably, I miss something Coda did better.
