@christina_p Curious: would @meepsapp’s member directory work for your use-case?

@GeoffTRoberts 💯 it's valuable.

Since starting @megamaker in 2013, it's the most requested feature:

"How can I find someone who's good at Rails?"
"How can I get a list of everyone's Twitter handle?"
"How can I see what everyone's working on?"

I used our new @meepsapp directory yesterday!

🤔 Given today's trends, what advice would you give an 18 year-old in 2021?

🏫 Should they go to college?

🏭 Which careers / business categories should they investigate that have strong potential?

🙏 Other personal growth advice?

RT @VineetSinha: I am super excited - this week we will be talking with @mijustin on our weekly Twitter Spaces.

I am looking forward to le…

@JacobBennett @michaeldyrynda almost at 100!!! 😮

@allthecode_ Thanks Simon!

@HighFiveRPG @RadioPublic @acast Yeah. I wonder why there was no payout for Republic investors?

@chddaniel @zerohash @joshuaanderton Yup. This is the step *before* the official @ProductHunt launch.

@tylertringas @Shpigford Yeah, for some reason Wefunder was harder for me to register for as a Canadian.

You can hear my skepticism on display in this chat I had with @tylertringas and @Shpigford.

(Despite my skepticism, I invested in the Maybe round, and would have invested in the Earnest round if it was done on Republic)

https://saasclub.transistor.fm/episodes/is-crowdfunding-good-for-investors

I'm still skeptical as to whether crowd equity funding is good for investors.

But, I'm willing to spend some money to build a little portfolio and experiment.

In 5-10 years we'll see if these were *investments*, or, merely donations. 😅

@Kev_Conti What are you using to run your newsletter/membership Kevin?

@joshuaanderton and I are working on @meepsapp, and are curious about the tools currently in place.

@arvidkahl @joshuaanderton ARVID! You helped get us over 300. THANK YOU!

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1412119796548706305

Over 300 people have now signed up for the @meepsapp waiting list.

We've set a new goal: 500 people.

@joshuaanderton and I are creating a new way to build membership sites, online communities, and professional networks.

Help us by spreading the word!

@arvidkahl @joshuaanderton Thanks Arvid! 🥰

@Shpigford @maybe 👋 @TransistorFM will take any 👽 that know Rails. 😄

@EspreeDevora Mostly curious because @joshuaanderton and I are working on @meepsapp and I want to know what solutions folks are already using.

https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/meeps

@curtismchale Omg. That’s awful!!

@Patticus Is it worth doing though?

With interest rates so low, it doesn’t feel like extra payments on the mortgage are the best use of liquid capital.

@editingemily Marketers are also a missed opportunity for most tech companies.

Many “API-driven” companies are secretly serving more marketers than developers. 🤫

@asynchio @BrandonWaselnuk Lol. Sweet. 🙏

@thisismahmoud_ happy birthday! 🎉

@smgrieser Yessss!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Check out what @joshuaanderton and I are doing with @meepsapp.

https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/meeps

@EspreeDevora Definitely!

I’m curious about your tech stack for We Are LA Tech; what apps/tech/hosting do you use for your site + other community features?

@AnthonyCastrio @felix12777 @MeetKevon @thenotionbar @HainingMax Nice! And thanks for using @TransistorFM, Anthony!! 🥰😍

@pmccrann @Mathilde_Leo Nice! Do you two work at Circle?

@NathanG But don’t you get good recommendations from Twitter?

Whenever I’ve asked my followers for recommendations (movies, podcasts, whatever) they’ve delivered the goods. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@NathanG Algorithms suck.

I’ll trade AI-generated lists for human recommendations every time.

(Which is one of the reasons I love @podysseyapp: it’s a community of listeners who share their favorite episodes)

@DustinLeblanc We escaped to the rockies, but BC has been so hot. 🔥

I'm building a list of awesome online community builders.

Who else should I add?

@mynameis_davis @TylerMKing @jonbuda The key, for me, was we both brought up “uncomfortable” topics (unprompted) and talked them out on air.

@chddaniel That’s “Bad Decisions” by @StrikerMetal:

@stephenolmon @ImSamThompson @tomosman @ryanwashere @elisegraham @blackhatwizardd @SaaSWiz After running @megamaker for 8+ years, I now use @meepsapp as the core platform.

It handles:
- member registration & payments
- member profiles & directory
- website / member portal
- newsletter / paid content
- member posts / content

And it links to:
- Slack / Discord
- Forums

@DavidSpinks @PlaygroupHQ And now I’m working on a new one with @joshuaanderton. 😄🔥

https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/meeps

@hnshah We should really be teaching founders that it’s ok for something to not work out and move on to something else.

https://justinjackson.ca/moving-on

@davidfano @SlackHQ @discourse @CircleApp @srcasm @DavidSpinks @hueypriest Revisiting this now.

After running a paid Slack community since 2013, I’ve now made @meepsapp the main hub for everything:

- member registration
- payment
- member directory
- linking to Slack
- member newsletter / content

@AndyBlackJnr @DanSchoonmaker @TransistorFM @jonbuda Yes!

@AndyBlackJnr @DanSchoonmaker @TransistorFM @jonbuda 👋 we’d love to have you on Transistor!

@nathanbarry Happy Birthday! 🎉

You inspired me to publish my first indie project.

I'm still learning from you (and following your example) today.

I appreciate the way you've thoughtfully, and generously, lead ConvertKit. 🙏

@jamesjgill @DescriptApp @TransistorFM 🙏 Incredibly important topic. Thanks for talking about it.

(Thanks for using @TransistorFM! 🙌)

@scottmathson @joshuaanderton @meepsapp @ProductHunt We have something super special for those member profiles, that (to our knowledge) has never been done before.

Will make creating a community-driven newsletter (like the kind @IndieHackers has) much easier.

@scottmathson @joshuaanderton @meepsapp @ProductHunt We automatically create an online member directory for your community, association, newsletter, or membership.

Members can customize their profile and choose to make it public, visible only to members, or private.

@AlbanBrooke Transistor lost $98 on Reddit ads and I’m still upset about it. 🤣

@_architexture_ 😍

I'm working with @joshuaanderton on @meepsapp:

"A better way to create online communities and memberships."

We've just launched a "coming soon" page on @ProductHunt:

https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/meeps

@MatthewBogart Incredible.

@ashnur lol.

Our email list stands outside of time.

RT @evanpro: Are you upset about the Pacific Northwest heat wave? Here are some things you can do to help:

If you’re curious about what we’re cooking up, sign up for our waiting list here:

Inspiring to see how quickly @joshuaanderton can ship features for @meepsapp. 💪

The TALL stack makes development FAST. 🏎💨
- @tailwindcss
- @Alpine_JS
- @laravelphp
- @LaravelLivewire

@adamwathan For me it'd be @TransistorFM. 😅

- Gradual-growth market (not a crazy rocketship)
- Can be run by less than 5 people (ideal team size)
- Good margins (financial, time, energy, maintenance)
- A true calm company (very little drama)
- Very few "lows" (much better than employment)

@Shpigford Any update on this? Were the results conclusive?

If you think “more exposure” will save your startup, just think about DeLorean.

@ahmednadar Lol. Nope! Much shorter than 6’

@thejonotron 😂

Thank god for the ability to start remote internet companies; nobody realizes how short I am. 😄 https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1408778365738291202

@chddaniel @asmartbear In a sense, yup.

Cards Against Humanity said they’d be our first customer before the app was built.

@alischwanke @hnshah Coffee, brunch, friends, family, sun, beach. 🏖

@itsdavemartin Nope. But I love looking at real estate.

@blbraner Problem is... (at least in my area) there's a 1% vacancy rate, and rentals are expensive!

Millennials / Gen Z are going to solve time travel just so they can afford a house. ✨🏡

@iroughol @dmathewwws @podysseyapp Apple just got back to me. Your artwork has been updated! 🙌

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/borderline/id1517836926

@leenyburger Great episode. Loved this one.

@JordanGal It's still being developed, but we're building a public @megamaker members directory using @meepsapp:

https://megamaker.meeps.app/members

@peldi What do you do when people want a "Master Services Agreement?"

@DaronSpence The one difference: humidity.

It’s 22% today. 🤙

@geecyr Yes. 🤞

For those of you who think Canada is always cold: check out this week’s temps in the Okanagan.

@iroughol @dmathewwws @podysseyapp @TransistorFM @ApplePodcasts 🙌 happy to help

@smgrieser @amaliaefowler “Multiple podcast ideas” is one reason I started @TransistorFM. 😉 (Wanted the ability to create multiple, separate, shows without paying for each additional podcast).

I have a good guide on getting started here:

https://transistor.fm/how-to-start-a-podcast/

@iroughol @dmathewwws @podysseyapp @TransistorFM Yup, you have that tag in your Transistor feed.

The problem is Apple. Their @ApplePodcasts database does not refresh artwork. It's a huge (frustrating) bug with them.

I have a personal contact at Apple, I'll contact them for you. 👍

@mjwhansen It's also put me in a totally different frame of mind when chatting with customers.

Instead of quickly dismissing their problems, or being impatient with them, I'm learning to see them like this:

"understanding that their decisions and actions make sense from their perspective"

@mjwhansen Honestly, just reading your exploration of empathy (as a concept) has given me my money's worth.

"Fortunately, empathy is something anyone can learn."

Understanding that it's not innate, but can be learned. 👍

@mjwhansen Seriously impressed with what you have here. 👍

More people need to read this!

This clip convinced me to pre-order @mjwhansen's book.

Reading the early-release, and it's great!

https://learnetto.com/users/michele/courses/deploy-empathy

@mjwhansen @mapdev @leenyburger @buildyoursaas @TransistorFM @joltbook I’m down!


Best. Father’s Day. Ever.

A reminder to be kind.

A reminder to be compassionate.

A reminder to help.

https://overcast.fm/+HKaeG0YSg

@MattGiovanisci It’s really well done!

@blogstatic Also: you need to be consistently compelling.

Consistency is necessary (but not sufficient) for achieving success.

h/t @JamesClear

@adamwathan This is too cute!

And those bows! Love it.

“Empathy is when you try to understand the other person’s context, without judgment.”

Great conversation between @mjwhansen and @leenyburger.

@chddaniel @noahwbragg @chhddavid Nice! Hadn’t read this yet.

@jayclouse Thanks Jay!
