Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Users of my book cataloguing app have been asking for "progress" feature and providing the page number seems like the easiest way to go.
Actually -- these are not good for accessibility [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. These companies have raised millions in funding on the false premise that they make your website accessible. This is of course not the case and these companies are currently part of large lawsuits.
This is a very interesting problem! I'm the cofounder of Pabio (YC S21), we do rent-to-own furniture with interior design, and one of the things I've observed is the vast discrepancy in prices on different websites but also at different times (much like predatory flight ticket pricing). Super excited to see more companies innovate to disrupt the traditional furniture industry! Best of luck and stay in touch!
I've been hiring a JS engineer at Pabio (YC S21) and I like to have an hour-long discussion with applicants instead of a whiteboard/live coding challenge as part of the process. One of the questions I ask is "Explain the first ten or so lines of the Twitter source code to me" and we go through the HTML source code of twitter.com line-by-line. It's always fun and Chris from CSS Tricks liked the idea so I wrote a blog post!

I interviewed for Sourcegraph and it was one of the best. Super transparent process, open source handbook, fun coding tasks -- really nothing to complaint about. Would be curious to know what made you have such a different experience.

> That’s why I’m moving on to my next adventure: to support, advise, and invest in the founders and developers who are creating the future with technology and tackling some of the biggest opportunities of our day.
I'm also one of the people in this thread who was under the misconception that he was a Github founder / early employee. if he's merely an employee of the acquiring company, why is he so rich?
Pabio is democratizing beautiful living. We want to disrupt the furniture industry and change how people live by offering a better, more sustainable, and more affordable alternative to traditional furniture retail. With Pabio, consumers get their apartment fully-furnished by a professional interior designer and rent high-quality furniture on a monthly subscription. Once they move out, Pabio takes all the furniture back, renovates it, and the cycle repeats.
We're a fully remote company, and one of the first Swiss startups in YC [1] and just closed our seed round. We're full-stack TypeScript on the web, and our 3D tech is built on top of Blender and Python. Since we're remote in Europe, we prefer applicants with greater timezone overlap (e.g., Afro-Eurasia) but no hard limits.
