I love the humor as well as the correctness of Ignore all the above, maybe you can be the one to do it right: Someone is going to crack this, yeah (maybe Momentum will). The main takeaway for this kind of project isn’t [in my opinion] that it’s impossible, it’s more like “it’s harder than it seems / don’t ignore this hard part”.
This is a really good post and you’re making me feel bad about my own Draft Amnesty Day posts :P
[take this as a compliment :) ]
I specifically resonate with your entire Lesson 3 - Probably don’t try to solve lack of effective giving with technology , I didn’t think about ‘I think if the problem you’re trying to solve is “I feel guilty about being rich”’, which is a nice insight pointing at “understand the users really well”.
Here’s my version of your Don’t confuse “this should exist” with “people want this to exist” (I really agree here too).

Anyway, that’s my draft comment. Nice post!
Thanks Yonatan. I like your version of “should exist vs people want this to exist”. I’ve also seen and been tempted by proposals for “lists”.
