What it does
Compass is a founder OS. In 10–12 minutes, Chart My Course benchmarks five signals—Progress, Signal, Self-Efficacy, Execution, Market Awareness—and identifies your Momentum State. Then weekly reflections turn into clear next steps, emails, and resources.
Compass is an intelligent orientation tool for founders. Understand where you are, what is truly influencing your progress, and the breakthrough most likely to move you forward.
Compass is a calibration instrument for startup founders. Ten questions, then a plain read on what your answers indicate about your self-efficacy, situational awareness, and clarity — kept separate, never rolled into one number. The diagnostic is free; Navigator is an optional paid tier that adds longitudinal tracking, weekly reflection prompts, and personalized guidance. Yes — the ten-question diagnostic and your results are free. Navigator is the optional paid tier. Ten questions; most founders finish in a few minutes. A Pulse check-in takes about 2 minutes. No. There is no total number, no ranking, and no founder type. Compass reports what your answers indicate area by area, and says…from compass.prepare4vc.com

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal!

If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…
