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 →

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 When you quit, did you already know what you wanted to launch or were you not sure yet?

A So that was funny because, uh, I had an idea for something. I wanted to create basically kind of like WordPress, but for mobile apps, because that's what I was working on at the time. So I thought, well, we should make a way to give people a way to create a mobile app as easy as it is to run WordPress. So that was my idea. But then, uh, I got married, um, and With my wife during our honeymoon, she's a graphic designer, and we had the idea for what we are working on now. So that's actually my co-founder. It's my wife. And so, so initially I started with an idea, but during the honeymoon, like that was like a couple months after, uh, we just had this idea of working together on it. And I don't know why, but like, I think it's because we were like, we were in the US doing a road trip for this travel. And that was just like, so exciting. And we thought, let's do this crazy thing. And, you know, we decided in a few minutes. So yeah, so it changed everything.

Q And so how do you, you know, um, I guess the question is between 2019 and 20 20, and even right now as you're scaling, what are you doing to make sure you guys have other cash coming in while you're building your side project?

A So I got, I mean, it's a pretty intense thing I'm going to tell you, but, uh, Basically right after we started Logology, uh, my mother passed away. Uh, she had cancer. So that was like, uh, a very troubling time. And actually that almost killed the company right away because like, honestly, for months I couldn't work really well, to be honest. And so I was, the cash was like, you know, running low and stuff like that. Uh, and so we almost thought about quitting, you know, that was just like end of 2018 and early 20 19. And, and my mom was broke also. So I had all this debt coming in. I mean, whole mess, terrible situation, uh, emotionally and financially. And so we were kind of like ready to give it up and we were giving it a few months, but like, there was no way we would have been successful in that timeframe. And like, I got lucky in the sense that in that terrible situation, My mom was pretty young. She was like, 60, she was 62 or 64. I never know, but like, she was 62 or 64. And, um, because I never know, like, if it's the date when she had it, or like, when she died. Anyway, but she was around 64, and she had like, some sort of insurance that could trigger if she passed away before 65, and so I got that. And to me, that kind of like, because my mom, when I was very young, she always supported me, Uh, and it felt like some sort of sign, you know, it's weird to say, you kno…
