Don't solve this.

Part of the fun in building a new product is creating and writing it. A lot of the creation process includes problem solving - We need to do this feature, we need to create an interface for that etc. etc.

However, a lot of these problems have already been solved.
Don't waste your time re-solving problems yourself in an early stage. Do some research - You'll most likely find off-the-shelf components, even if they're not 'tailor made' for your needs.

Put your efforts on your new product, not on re-solving problems that were already solved.
This will save you a lot of time to focus on what's really important - Your value.

Ad Blocking - A different approach

This is nice:
Wired (And probably other content sites) is now making a lot of its cash from displaying ads.

However, as ad blockers are common practice, this hurts their living. A lot.
As solutions like DSERO are getting more and more common, there's also the direct approach method.


Worked in my case. I've whitelisted Wired.
