    Why people buy—
    No one buys a drill bit because they want a sharp bit.
    They buy a drill bit because they want to make a hole in the wall.

    No one wants to make a hole in the wall.
    They want to hang a shelf.

    No one wants to hang a shelf.
    They want to get organized, and to feel a sense of accomplishment.

    So if you're a national home improvement chain, what should your tagline be?

    You can do it. We can help.™

    What does Home Depot know that you don't when it comes to branding & marketing?

    1. They understand who their customers are.
    2. They understand what they want/need.
    3. They understand what their goals are and the transformation they desire.

    Want more customers?

    Go deeper. Understand what motivates them. How will they be transformed by what you do?

    Don't talk about what you do. This is a self-centered approach to marketing and could be the reason why you don't have a line of customers waiting to hire you.

    App ideas for dog owners:

    - type in a movie and find out when/if there are animal noises that will freak them out
    - scan your leftovers, see if anything bad for dogs in there
    - collar sensor, alerts when they are in cute/weird positions that are amusing

    Hey, @aaronpk Will you ever update your LiveChat overlay or open it up to allow CSS updates?
    Aaron Parecki
    Update it to do what? I've pushed out a few updates for new features.

    It's also open source if you want to totally customize it. I'm open to feature suggestions too, feel free to add an issue on the GitHub!

    Got awesome underwater 360° footage, but the @RicohTweets software (theta+) is buggy and won’t let me export - @aaronpk @timcappalli what do you use?
    Aaron Parecki
    I have the Insta360 X2, it's so much fun! The iPhone app is decent, and there's a MacOS app if you want to do more detailed editing too.

    The X3 came out recently, I like the larger screen but not planning to upgrade myself https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-x3

    Thanks! The question is, will it edit 360° footage produced by other hardware? I have the Ricoh Theta X, and the device is really good. It’s just the stupid video editing software that past a certain length exports videos with black frames
    Aaron Parecki
    ooh, I don't know if it can import footage from other cameras!

    I'm pretty sure Davinci Resolve (free) can edit any 360 footage tho!

    wow, Hive Social won't let you add any photos unless you grant it access to *all* your photos. Normally on iOS you can choose to give an app access to only select photos, but it recognizes this and prevents you from doing anything. Super sketchy, will not be using this.

    Once you give it access to all photos, there's nothing stopping it from combing through your camera roll and doing whatever it wants, like scanning your photos for location data, uploading hashes of the images for later matching, or probably worse things I can't think of.

    @aaronpk That's interesting... I have always picked all whenever that prompt shows up fearing that if not, then the application won't work, or will work,but severely limited functionality.

    Aaron Parecki
    You can always change your mind by going into the settings for the app later! But generally apps should only be doing things with your photos when you select them, so it'd be super weird if the app functionality was limited by choosing the other option!

    It's really frustrating that apps get these basic things so wrong. If these are the mistakes they're making that are this visible, what other much less visible mistakes are they also making?? It's not a good sign.
