Skills.WTF
Find the best Alexa Skills.
There are over 10,000 right now - nobody has time to look through them! Skills discovery is broken, this is just a little experiment to see if social persona + skills curation is an interesting angle to explore.
These are skills I have checked out/like/recommend - if you are similar to me, then you may enjoy the same. Also, if you know anyone else struggling to discover decent skills and sounds like me...Feel free to share!
"26. Tech startup enthusiast. Early adopter. Work for Product Hunt/AngelList. Don't play video games. Love music, bad at discovery. Don't read any 'normal' news. Twitter is my 'bae'. Podcasts distract me. I do mini-workouts daily (when I have time). Foodie. Love to travel. Commute by Tube. Want to be more 'productive'. Will use jokes for friends."
