Oh man - i've been watching you guys for awhile. We're YC too and building a superapp for sales ppl. Any killer use cases you've seen or imagined for sales (outside of prospecting vid customization?

Glad we've been worth the follow :) Totally- we're seeing AI sales agents for calls, technical counterparts (think like AI sales engineer that joins the call with you), website embeds to answer initial questions or be a virtual sales rep.

I strongly recommend people give this a try. Its got so many quality of life features (like picture in picture).

Firefox has had PiP for yonks. And is this release really only for Windows 11? I thought pretty much everyone was skipping that, like Vista and 8.

Windows 11 comes installed on most people’s computers, and among people on this site I’m pretty sure most of us have either had to update for some reason or just auto-updated one day. I don’t know anyone who is skipping Windows 11, given that it takes nontrivial effort to do so.

Conversely, I only know one person on Windows 11, and he just asked another friend for help rolling back to 10 due to how miserable support for his most used applications are.

Much like Windows 8, most people on Windows 11 tend to be the technically-disinclined, which generally are not the userbase of an experimental alternative browser. Thus I too, am understandably baffled at the lack of Windows 10 support.

"it takes nontrivial effort to do so" - not sure I agree. My desktop (high-ish spec when I bought it in 2020) came without TPM 2.0 enabled, which effectively blocks 11. I could probably enable it, but that to me looks like the nontrivial effort.

A lot of people still dislike Windows 11, in no small part because it released in an unfinished state. I think 23H2 has finally made Windows 11 something work upgrading to, but if you're used to Windows 10, you'd never know that

Hmm, I hadn't heard about Dev Drive before, that might actually be mildly interesting.

Yeah the initial GA is for Windows 11 only. I'm also curious about the Windows 10 support release date. According to their newsletter, they plan to answer this question on their next YouTube video.

Technically you can force your way to install Arc on Windows 10[1], but it was a rough experience when I tried few months ago during beta.

Windows 11 is, imo, mostly a nothing-burger compared to 10. It does make changes, some of which are nice, but it's overall fairly minor so far.

Unlike Vista and 8, nothing broke and everything is where I expect, so I've stuck with it.

Windows 11 requires significantly more advanced hardware and power to even be installed. Meanwhile, you could install Windows 10 on an WinXP-era netbook and it would be functional, if laggy on 2GB RAM.

It doesn't seem to require anything more, except maybe the whole TPM 2.0 thing.

Who is running 2GB of ram these days? Win 11 recommends 4GB, and imo that's very little on a modern computer. 8GB for casual use, 16 for anything more intensive.

Just Weta FX - those were the guys and gals that used Weta tooling for producing films and such. Not Weta Tools - those are the guys and gals building and maintaining the Weta tools

But it seems that 265 is pretty much the entire headcount of Weta Digital’s 'tools department' they have acquired back in 2021? From their announcement:

"Unity welcomes Weta Digital’s world-class engineering talent of 275 engineers that are known for architecting, building, and maintaining Weta Digital tools and core pipeline."

So it just seems they have just thrown away $1.6 billion. If they were unable to commercialize any of their tools while they still had the people who built them it will be entirely hopeless now.

I was going to come here and say exactly this at the risk of being flamed. Love seeing this at the top

Very cool. We're working on something similar but we went more narrow because its really hard to unravel the business context from just the data alone. Ours is ponyrun.ai if you want to check it out. Also open to chat and share learnings if you're open to it.

Ive seen data sets like this and they've been bad. My main issues have been that dataset isn't kept updated, theres no sense of proportion (e.g. is 1% of the team java or 50%), and there's often not enough companies in the dataset.

So bad that I probably wouldn't buy this data without some proof that its good data

This is really helpful feedback, thanks!

Yes, keeping it updated is a hard job, but it needs to be done regularly.

Can you elaborate on the sense of proportion problem?

And as far as enough companies, can you give me an example of a specific search you might conduct and how many results you'd expect?

Thanks!

Awesome - lots of potential here.

Lots of folks are asking "who is this for?". I think that's because the people that should use this don't know that they should yet. And it's probably missing the hotel/car angle too.

This would let people like planners (e.g. destination wedding), events (e.g. festivals), and the like simplify and make money through the entire customer experience/journey.

Good luck!

Spot on. Thank you!

Does this hold true if you charge $150 for lifetime license vs $50?

I think you have a pricing problem. This is what I see for you:

Subscription Monthly = $84 / year

Subscription Annual = $50 / year

Lifetime = $50 One Time

If I see myself using this for about half a year, I'm just going to get a lifetime sub.

Congrats on the launch. YC W22 founder who loves gaming and used to work in the gaming industry here. Love the concept and I'm excited to see how you guys grow

There's data providers that sell this info.

If you didn't put it on LinkedIn, the spam callers got it through different ways (sales tooling, direct from data providers, leaks, etc.) If you're putting your phone number out anywhere (even in the signature of your email), they're collecting that info and selling it
