"Hey folks, I found this fun little side project that someone created to help motivate & inspire people. I thought it was simplistic so trolled them by copying their data and posting it publicly. Product design is overrated." - @gnumanth

@alonglastname has created the modern day version of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies cards — a pack of 50 thought-provoking questions, ideas, and suggestions that you can use when you're stuck on something to get out of your rut and see things from a new perspective. Try it the next time you're having trouble with a blog post or a piece of code. The site gives you a sample of the full deck, which is available for purchase in printed format as well.

@jasonshen @alonglastname Big fan of The Genius Deck & Eno's Oblique Strategies, so much so that I built a tiny chrome extension a month or so back and posted it on here: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@jasonshen thanks for posting this! I originally created the print version of The Genius Deck when I was founding a science and design organization during my TED Residency. A friend who used it to ideate on his social good projects suggested I create a digital version. I had a bunch of fun building this digital version of the Deck, and I really hope this tool helps people tap into their own creative genius. Oh, and if you're thinking about shipping something new in 2017, we're running another round of Ship Your Side Project starting in January 2017. Learn more at http://shipyoursideproject.com.
