Ma past involves several encounters with the local startup community, because there was a time when all of them thought they were going to make the next big thing with "gamification". All of them were using niche aspiring productivity services / social apps that never really took of, because of course they didn't, and so I had to use them too.
I'm still getting the newsletters, and it feels nostalgic, as in "ah, that's the one those guys from Toruń used, I wonder what happened to them".
