I think at the end of the day for a consumer app, it has to come down to, am I finding something useful from this site or service that I don't see anywhere else?

And is it helping me save time and energy?

And the answer may be no.

And then guess what?

It cost me $500 and I flush it down the drain and on to the next thing.

I've got another one I could show you if we have time.

Do we have two minutes?

Okay, so this one is like December 15th.

So 12 years ago, I posted this idea that you could have a blog where you can actually see the person in the background in real time, but it's blurred out.

But it gives you a sense of presence that they were actually there.

And I'm still kind of enamored with this idea, especially because we're entering into a world, like there I am inputting in information or typing as I'm typing.

But we're entering into this world where we don't even know if there's another human on the other side of it.

I think that's just going to get worse and worse over time.

And so I full-on built this in Cloud Code, and now I have it completely running.

And I can just show it to you real quick.

Let's see here.

Let's pull it up.

Yeah, I mean, there were things that were just either...

So much of this is just right idea at the right time.

And some of it was not technically possible.
