another cool launch from Best! looks awesome 😎

Hell yeah & lots of cycling in the warmer months

Hey Chris, we put together a listicle of simple (not necessarily easy) marketing steps for founders here: https://www.paralect.com/blog/po...

ClipWing is fan-damn-tastic for any video creator — but especially for those of us who come from a writing or content background. The established leaders in video editing software (Adobe Premiere, Devinci, etc) make amazingly powerful tools but for video newbs they're hella hard to learn quickly. Then ClipWing fluttered into existence with a silly-simple transcript-based editor and took all...

hey looks awesome I've been waiting for smth like this that brings diet and exercise together. on the workout side — can this be automated at some point? like I sync my Strava or wearable account and Journable will pull the workout data + steps/day. Would be lovely!

Tried both Mac app and web version, my video just stalls out at 50% of "Creating your project..." Will try another file but not a promising start.

Yoga, and swimming.

I recently interviewed the founder of https://a11yaudit.ing/ and learned a lot from him about digital accessibility, how it also impacts SEO, etc. Good place to start and free. find the show at shipitsipit.xyz if you're interested

Have you ever seen a more beautiful graph? Didn't think so. Hunted space is fresh like hot coffee every morning ☕️

Our team went through this last spring and ended up with a successful launch by hyping it up for ~1 month ahead of the PH launch. Mostly on Twitter but a bit on Linkedin as well. We wrote a (short) 6-step guide after getting product of the day + week — check it out here: https://www.paralect.com/blog/po... PS: we didn't have huge audiences on Twitter to make this happen, started with a few...

I checked it out, really wanted to just see the prices listed on your site so I don't have to click through to each one. Aside from that — one feature I've always wanted with travel booking sites is a 'wish-list' function of sorts where I can: 1. enter several destinations I know I want to visit in the next few years 2. enter date ranges that I would want to be there 3. get updates from time...

Generally, blogging is a long-term play to gradually increase your site traffic from organic Google search over 4-12 months. So you should do it if that is one goal of yours — but to increase the impact on your upcoming launch, I'd put just as much effort into using that blog content on other more immediate platforms where your target market hangs out. Could be X, or Linkedin, or wherever....

The PH team have played with a few different community style features in the past, but I don't recall any external communities. Anyway, I think they want to keep folks on-site for as long as possible — so they facilitate discussions here. And I don't know what folks would do in a PH discord besides promote their launches?

You probably want to be growing your network of folks in 2 groups: those who are in your target customer group & those who are interested in building products / launching on PH. Sometimes these overlap, but often they're distinct. Obviously, more reach among your target market = more paying customers if you market well. For more tips, we created this short guide after launching...

These are valid points indeed, but a quick glance at the team behind DOAC on Linkedin shows no fewer than 7 folks in marketing roles (aside from Steven himself). Also curious what their ad spend looks like. Well, good strategies, a strong team and $$$ go a long way 💪

Been getting into weightlifting this winter. Mostly to supplement the running and cycling that I enjoy in warmer months but also because age = lean muscle loss and I'd like to postpone that a few more years. It hasn't been without hiccups though as my back is pretty f*cked up from getting too spicy with the deadlifts last weekend. Go easy and get help with technique for best results early on.

If I had to write my best best man speech, I'd definitely pass it through this. Are there settings to adjust for amount of whiskey consumed pre-speech?

Been using Clipchamp with good results, gonna try out DaVinci Resolve though see if I can up my game

Awesome launch plan Vanessa! If you're curious about the back story on Privy, I interviewed Vanessa last month to find out what inspired the idea and why she's excited to build it. Check it out here: https://shipandsip.substack.com/...
