The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Andy Cloke no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q think, I think if you're optimizing for a life where you've got freedom, flexibility, you don't care about raising VC, this is a great, great model. So kudos to you for just calling it what it is, which is looking at what works and copying it with a new angle. So, uh, what was there a particular Google sheets out on that inspired you that you're now replicating for Airtable?

A Uh, yeah, so there's one that's called API Connector, um, and I saw their product homepage, um, it's made by a lady called Anna, who's now Kind of a contact of mine. So, um, she basically built this, this, um, add on. Um, I think she's got like a 150,000 users. She's got some massive companies using it and stuff. Um, so I saw that and then I had actually run into the problem on Airtable. Um, so I had actually, I was an Airtable user. I'd tried to pull in like financial data and find it was a really like complicated process. So that when I saw her, uh, Google Sheets add on the penny just dropped and I thought, why not build this for Airtable? Um, but when I launched My product on Product Hunt. I gave her a shout out. I said, full credit. This is where I got the full idea from. Um, and I've, I've not just kind of copied it screen for screen. I've actually built other features that she's then copied into her app and stuff. So we've actually got a really nice working relationship now where we're both kind of building tangentially for different platforms and helping each other out.

Q Okay. And the, what were you building for your own need here? How do you think about what new side ideas you work on?

A Uh, yes, I've got a kind of framework that I kind of follow that's basically taking, like, an existing tool or an existing kind of profitable business, and then transfer, like, basically taking that and then applying it to, like, a growing platform. Um, so both the projects I've done that I've actually made some money from, um, the first one was basically taking tools that work for Instagram and building them for TikTok, and then this one, um, I got the original inspiration from, like, a Google Sheets add-on, and I'm basically just applying the same kind of tool to Airtable. Um, and making it kind of more kind of air table native. So that's kind of the ideation process. Um, and just then just like getting into like a growing kind of platform and riding the wave basically.
