On $EVO’s results and a few more thoughts

Overall, the results aren’t good. But they’re not as bad as they look at first glance either. The environment is tough, and the company is holding up with quite a bit of resilience.…

How dangerous it is to quit your job and focus on your projects.

Besides the obvious, the hardest part is that you lose some of that "pain" that pushed you to start a business.

You get comfortable and lose some of your motivation to work.

I’ve got something new.

Now I can see the sentence lengths on my blog. And it’s great.

Writing sentences of the same length bores the reader. Everything sounds the same. The text becomes monotonous, flat, repetitive.

    It’s public in case you want to laugh at me. You can go to any of my blogs and see how sad the situation is.

📊 I’m building a portfolio analysis tool from scratch!

I’ve added lots of improvements and features. It’s getting easier to use, and it’s already replacing the other tools I used before.

    For the curious:

    This tool is still in development... BUT if you want to discover other really interesting investing tools, you can check out my other platform: Find My Moat.

    It’s already live, and tomorrow we’re doing the official launch on Product Hunt!

🧦 I’ve been living with the bare minimum for 15 days.

I’m waiting to move out of the house and I’ve got everything packed in boxes, ready for the move. So I’ve been using only the essentials for two weeks now.

Basically:

- Some clothes - A laptop - Food

🏆 What’s the best hotel in the world? And in Spain?

A little off-topic thread about @levelsio’s new AI tool for booking hotels.

Specifically, its stats tab caught my eye. There’s some pretty interesting stuff in there.

I’ll leave the website at the end 👇

    📊 If you go to the “stats” tab, this is what you find:

    It’s cool, yeah. But that’s not what caught my eye the most.

    It’s the ridiculously long list of terrible hotels in North America 😂

    Something weird is going on there

  2. 3

    And then comes the fun part: which regions and countries come out as the best and the worst?

    Well, the results are pretty surprising.

  3. 4

    And for the curious... these are the highest-rated cities:

  4. 5

    If you also factor in the price and calculate the rating per dollar spent... 🤑

    then North America and Europe really do come out pretty badly

    And there’s one curious thing: Andorra is 14th from the top, so among the best. Meanwhile Spain is 16th from the bottom.

    So, among the worst.

  5. 6

    And apparently Ibiza is almost the worst city in the world for value for money.

    And it seemed hard to beat.

  6. 7

    And now for the awards 🎖️

    This is the best hotel in the world. And it’s in Bali.

    🏅 Kaura Bali

    To be fair, it’s cool. For around €100, it seems like a great option to me.

    But it doesn’t seem so incredible that I’d call it the best hotel in the world.

    So I’m guessing they are factoring price into the formula here, right?

  7. 8

    Now, the best in Europe does look pretty damn good:

    🏅 Merit Starlit Hotel

    This one looks a lot more luxury. It costs around €200-300 a night and it’s in Montenegro.

  8. 9

    The best in Spain is an interesting one.

    It’s a 2-star hotel in Cádiz that costs €54 a night:

    🏅 Tandem Solera

    And honestly, even if it’s nothing spectacular, it looks really good for that price.

    I can totally understand the positive reviews here

  9. 10

    And finally... the best in Madrid?

    🏅 Coolrooms Palacio de Atocha

    Around €250-300 a night, right in the center of Madrid.

    And honestly, it looks spectacular. Really, really good
