A platform built to explore or release human ideas, everything from random thoughts to longer stories or memos, essays, journals, logs, lyrics or so much more! With the latest editions available as downloadable copies for offline reading!

Now everyone can write a multi page mini-book about whatever their heart desires, attach images to pages, give it a snappy title, an optional cover image and release it! Released work starts appearing on the feed for other users and is also hosted as a downloadable (self updating) copy on the Niopub Public Collective (NPC) that can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.

Our Mission: "Allowing people to publish their ideas, as highly accessible written content, onto a single public collective"

Here are a few copies of posts created by users on Niopub:

1. A guide on how to publish on Niopub: https://niopub.com/x/jii6x0 2. A user who releases stories using some help from generative AI: https://niopub.com/x/7l4479 3. An account that reposts the super resourceful essays by Paul Graham: https://niopub.com/x/3l4oo6 4. A Japanese haiku explained to English readers: https://niopub.com/x/iiy9vv 5. A user posting a Discord server guide for Diablo 4: https://niopub.com/x/lsh0w7

Download the app (https://niopub.com) to explore, read and potentially also release your own ideas (or memes) in a post! I genuinely hope this creates s fresh avenue for new types of influencers who are good with words.

Note from the developer: We expect some initial hiccups as it's a brand new service. We hope you stick with us as we smoothen out initial bumps on this long journey together! - [email protected]


Here we see a live example of ignorance being bliss. Walmart Labs is as much as an 'IT corporation' as vineyards are football fields.


speciality ecommerce has always been a moody market and a company like Etsy getting traded at this value is still just sentimental value. The company has had negative margins for a while, along with negative returns on all it's assets.

Operating cash flow is a mere 2% of the current market cap. This defines shambles unless it can really turn it's fortune around in '16-17.


No Spotify? Wow. I don't even recognize half the music services it supports. As someone else said on this thread, I am happy with 320kbps music streaming on Spotify + it's remote control features + the recent hardware support for Spotify Connect.


Although the study is flawed as pointed out by the author itself, it's good to see such studies and results coming out of a good test base rather than mere spewing of opinions as seen in many articles lately.

Even if there is a minute chance that this study exhibits anything concrete, it can't hurt to apologize to expect a positive outcome.


It can hurt to apologize just in case. Maybe not in the case of strangers, but if you do it repeatedly with acquaintances, they could hypothetically start hearing all of your apologies as fake, even the sincere ones.


True, if it's a knee-jerk action.

If you get in the habit of empathizing with the people around you, though, and you do it well, that will continue to be valuable.


"These kind of people" might come across as wrong to a few, which is completely fair and justified. But as you said - "getting them back to Earth" is a wrong idea. That implies that current situation is completely fine and these people are eccentrics, which is most definitely not correct. Rather than silencing a few who speak their minds and getting things back to (ab)normal; we need to find our own ideas on how things can be fixed, if not by the ideology proposed by such people.

We need to collectively work towards a solution than silencing a few.


“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. ... I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.” — Then-Sen. Barack Obama, floor speech in the Senate, March 16, 2006


One good reason why it "shouldn't" do this? It's doing it and giving you a choice to either be a part of it or not. That is more than you can ask for from a free service. If you were able to be a part of a service, not pay a thing, feeding data to it and expecting it not to use it in anyway you wouldn't like- then you would also not see the constant innovation brought about by such companies; and this is justified as long as the user is not forced into it; the golden rule of software.


Because with that reasoning we could, and really should, just abandon all free software. Because with that reasoning it is worthless.

There are other ways to make money in this world, even for a free service, than being a dick.


This is anything but a "post-mortem".


I currently intern for a company that does e-education for probably the biggest education services vendor in the world. My team owns the test delivery engine, including on mobile platforms.

a more intuitive touch interface is always easier for students to give tests on, that and more interactive questions, more colors and realtime assistance, analytics, central and quick test dispatch, quicker assessments and well anytime access being 'mobile', tracking. Doing all that is impossible with paper based education, and only some of it is possible using desktop.

And besides, change in quality arises from change in methodology. The two are not mutually exclusive.
