Does anyone else feel like finding really good Greek food can be hit or miss in the U.S.?
I feel like there’s a difference between a restaurant serving Greek food and a place that Greeks themselves would genuinely recommend 😂 And I’m always curious what other people consider the gold standard.

A friend and I have been exploring an idea around Greek restaurant recommendations and rankings, and before we take it any further, I wanted to get some honest opinions from people who love the food!

A few questions:
What makes you consider a Greek restaurant genuinely good or authentic?
How do you currently find Greek restaurants worth trying?
Do you ever wish there were a better way to see which places other Greek diners actually recommend?
Would love to hear your thoughts and any restaurants you swear by!

How do you guys tell the difference with this? I just launched my first app. I did focus groups and beta testing beforehand but mostly with friends of friends. I am good at meeting strangers and occasionally would get them to try it. Didn’t ever get random people online.

I did a lot of research prior to building it, but a lot of it I did incognito…like I’d talk to people in the industry but not tell them I was founding an app in the space and I’d just ask a lot of questions. Did it that way so I could get real pains rather than promoting myself. And I also did a lot of researching the competitors negative reviews to figure out what people wanted / hated.

I still feel like all the convos I had, even with strangers, where I did put the app in front of them, were met with good feedback. Which is good, right, but not having received any negative feedback is not making me think my app is awesome it’s made me feel like everyone’s being polite. I don’t know how to make the app better without critical feedback. Like “it’s great!” doesn’t make an app better or give any point of action to take next.

The caveat to this is I’ve really been afraid to put it in front of people. I was very private. This is the first week with the app live and I haven’t marketed or announced it at all, other than to the beta testers. And I feel like the thing holding me back from announcing it is I’m worried all this time everyone’s just been like aw cute little project, good job!! Because they haven’t wanted to hurt my feelings given they know what I’ve put into it. And even the strangers I met like what are they gonna do, say “this sucks” to someone they just met in person?

I guess I’m looking for 1) advice on how to announce when you’re scared shitless to do so and rly doubt whether you built anything good and 2) how to tell the difference? Because I did even post on one sub reddit and they’ve opened it but how do I know what they truly think? (I’m guessing some part of this is announce and negative reviews will tell you, but I don’t want to announce if it’s secretly sucked this whole time). Definitely some fear of peer judgement here too.

Thanks for your advice

I'm 21, a CS student, and honestly, I'm confused about my future. I'm not very technically strong, although I do get decent grades. I'm a popular guy in my university, everyone knows me there, they think I'm a really talanted guy but deep down I know I'm a asshole and I keep gets insecure by the technical skills my classmates have, I don't understand the courses at the first hand I'm an idiot ig. I'm much more passionate about entrepreneurship, and whenever I take responsibility for something, I give it my all.

My father runs a business that generates decent income. He's getting older, and I want to graduate, join the business, and help him retire as soon as possible. However, the business requires long working hours and atleast 10 hours of daily duty, which makes me wonder whether I'll have the freedom to pursue my own ambitions.

My father is incredibly supportive and has given me complete freedom to choose my path. He'd even consider selling the business if that's what we decide.

Part of me feels shutting down or selling a running business would be a waste, while another part of me wants to explore my potential as an entrepreneur beyond it.

What would you do in my position? Should I focus on building technical skills and pursuing a career in CS, or graduate and commit myself to growing the family business? How can I balance my ambitions with my responsibility toward my father?

I'm the classic notes everywhere never look at them a terribly organised yet ambitious guy and it's starting to get exhausting.

Gemini feels like I'm talking to someone with mental disabilities and with ADD my mind kinda goes everywhere and if I had some software to tell me what to focus on yet also let me be able to dump all my information and ideas and notes into it then it would be a huge help.

does anyone have any good solutions for me?

I’m (23F) building a sports tech startup HEXAI; that encompasses the use of athletic biometrics, hardware, and AI to modernize how your typical athlete trains, recovers, gets discovered, and learns their role within their team. I want to emphasize that I do not have a background in tech or business at all. I went to university for medicine and I’m taking a gap year. So I’m always learning. However since I do have a background in competitive athletics I’ve already talked to programs I’ve been a part of to pilot my MVP once it’s built.

Here are the bumps in the road as a first time builder.

1. I am struggling to come to terms with it when it comes to equity. I don’t want to give too much because I don’t want to be on the short end of the stick when it comes to my ownership. How do you portion out equity what is the jargon to be used when I write up an agreement. How do you even start to write the agreement? How do even know how much to give and how do you know if it’s even reasonable? Especially when you generated a team of at least 5 software devs to help each other.

2. How do you vet and trust overseas talent?

3. How do you know in a bootstrapping phase what funds go to what?

4. What is the jargon needed to talk to future investors? What is the jargon period when it comes to this world that’s so unfamiliar?

5. What are the do’s and don’ts of the world I am stepping into?

6. How did you find your technical partners? I know that I’ll need to have a technical co-founder one day but how did that relationship get built? How did you find them?
