Meet random people from your organization for a coffee with macarons or for a quick video call. Get to know your colleagues better and maybe even make new (work) friends.
🧁 Quick and Easy
Just add the Macarons app to a Slack channel and it will automatically pair off random members for (virtual) coffees.
🎰 Control the Odds
For each channel you can control how often and when chat lotteries happen, as well as how many people should be matched together.

Let Macarons get conversations started with predefined ice breakers or set your own custom topics for each round.
🏖 Take a skip day
Independent of a channels meeting interval, each user can always individually pause their participation or decide to only take part every other time.

Glimpse's answer:
Glimpse leverages a proprietary algorithm that doesn’t have the lag that other search volume data providers have. Other providers have a number of issues, including lag time and bundling similar keywords together, which decrease the accuracy of their estimates.

It took us a few months (I think it was 4) but now we released Macarons. After adding Macarons to the workspace you have to invite it to a channel and then can configure how often people of that channel are matched. Additionally you can specify how big the match groups should be and everyone participating can adjust their participation rate. That's basically it.

The most valuable and impressive thing you can do is build a business. Hands down. Especially if it makes money. That will show you're not just a cog in the wheel but able to critically think and have valuable practical skillsets. I would experiment with something that has tailwinds. Like an AI business, or a VR business once the new apple VR app store comes out. you'd be shocked at how much you can make... Source: 12 months ago
For example; trends.co is not very good because the people that write for them are journalists, not business owners so although the writing is good, the ideas are poorly researched. On the other hand, meetglimpse.com is pretty good, they have nuanced and unique business ideas that you can take advantage of but the market research behind it is a little lacking, their chrome extension tool is great tho.

a lot of things. I've built 3 online businesses that were profitable with under $1000. it's really just a hustle once you get product market fit. Starting something online shouldn't take that much money if you know how to test it. Check out like trends.vc, explodingideas.co, meetglimpse.com etc. They may be able to spark your creativity for ideas that could be good opportunities for the price point. Source: about 1 year ago
Great idea. You should scrape ideas from meetglimpse.com, explodingideas.co, trends.co and the other sites that post ideas. Would be an easy way to bulk up the document. Source: about 1 year ago
