@siddharthkp @jonbuda Nice! 🙌

@adammasonx @marshal I thought this too? 🤔

@danielcurrin @IndieHackers @csallen @tylertringas Thanks!

@mastermaq Wow. Alberta (population: 4.4 million) has already tested more than 4,000 people, and the entire USA has likely not tested more than 11,000.

@smtm Not currently.

Aaaaand now they're closing Disney parks.

@gingimli @dhh 🤦‍♂️

Not a good look @Disney.

@flowdee I was using @mod_dot for my landing page teardowns. Really cool tool for folks who design / edit in the browser. 👍

@frankdilo @studiofellow @mod_dot Just reviewed this live! Here is the link:

Let's hang out: bootstrapper's livestream (landing page teardowns, AMA, whatever!) https://www.pscp.tv/w/cTke0jM4NTU1MXwxQlJKalFqYmR5Tkd3r2himaUr9UjaY4GDGdhhh8UJj1tjsM1cn_14U39gsSs=

#microconf just announced they’ve cancelled their April conference.

A hard decision to make, but the right one. 👍

@jitbit @MicroConf Yup. Me too.

@JamesCridland @mgdell @marcoarment @OvercastFM Not sure this is correct? When you download an episode with chapter art on @ApplePodcasts, it does show the chapter art.

Whoa.

@DominikTo @shl Came here to also say this. 😜

@dohertyjf Wait, is that how it works!!? 😜

@typeoneerror 💯

@shellen Stay safe!

@yarobagriy Nice. 👌

The @WHO has just declared coronavirus a global pandemic:

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/who-declares-the-coronavirus-outbreak-a-global-pandemic.html

"We are deeply concerned by the alarming levels of the #coronavirus spread, severity & inaction, & expects to see the number of cases, deaths & affected countries climb even higher." – @DrTedros

“Cancelling major events is the bare minimum of what we should be doing. Panicking won’t help, but shaming people for being concerned is not it.” – @ArlanWasHere

There’s no sense in creating panic.

But ignorance is far worse.

We need to take this seriously.

@bentoalson 💯

@alphacolin Omg! It is such a delight.

It’s a bit weird to read at first, because his writing style is unconventional, but soon you’ll be getting all of these fantastic insights into building and living well.

“Even if you’re young and healthy, it’s your job to follow social distancing measures to avoid spreading it to others, and keep the epidemic in slow motion.”

https://www.vox.com/2020/3/10/21171481/coronavirus-us-cases-quarantine-cancellation

The point isn’t to just prevent attendees, students, and employees from getting sick.

The bigger reason is to slow down the spread of the disease.

@matthewcrist That is really sad to hear.

It’s a difficult decision, but closing schools could save thousands of lives.

“This is worse than the flu. You want to flatten the epidemic. You don’t want a million people all getting sick in the same month. Social distancing helps decompress the demand on our medical system.” – @NAChristakis

“Only one measure has been effective against coronavirus: extreme social distancing.”

Employees should be working from home.

Schools, especially, should be closed.

Conferences should be postponed.

Ok, I'm live! Doing some landing page teardowns with @mod_dot https://www.pscp.tv/w/cTaZeTM4NTU1MXwxbW54ZVF3b3FnUHhYaneF5BwraAxyJ0KP8csr_0WsjNB-IGa26hctL-wq-98=

Here's a sample "landing page teardown" I've done in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rONfsTgdqxw

To celebrate @studiofellow's launch of @mod_dot today, I'm going to be doing a few live landing page teardowns.

(Mod&Dot allows you to do rapidly redesign any page, show copy edits and share ideas all in the browser.)

Have a landing page you want me to look at? Reply here!

A telling tale:

“Building a customer base from scratch is actually quite hard — and expensive. DTC companies market on Facebook. Everyone is armed with the same millions of dollars in funding and they’re all driving each other’s marketing costs up.” 💸

@jayacunzo @mitchjoel Really enjoyed this one (just finished listening). Thanks for sharing the discussion!

The idea of “when to cut bait” was particularly though provoking.

@Sofiaqt @TransistorFM Thanks!

Just wait until you hear the episode we did with @mariepoulin - it goes live on March 17! 🙌

@joshuaanderton lol. 🤣

We need to send this to @tim_cook

@dvassallo This is helpful! Thanks. 👍

Related question: what makes a business "recession-proof?"

@Jonflarson ... AND?

hahaha. 😜

RT @kvlly: @mijustin Don't touch your investments.

Keep what cash you have fluid in case you need it for an emergency.

In the case of bus…

What's the best way to prepare for an economic downturn?

(Both personally and in your business)

ok but seriously, have any of you successfully taken off your shirt while wearing airpods.

@derrickreimer I think it depends what role you play in your startup.

For me personally, I need some deep work time (for writing, coding), but find that most of my work is running around in short bursts.

@jonbuda, on the other hand, I think needs more deep work time.

@iChris All day, every day.

@jeff_archibald Yup! 👋

@MadhurRamani @tylertringas @IndieHackers @csallen Thanks. 👍

@jackmcdade Nice!

“What are our needs for happiness? We need to walk, just as birds need to fly. We need to be around other people. We need beauty. We need contact with nature. And most of all, we need not to be excluded. We need to feel some sort of equality.” – @EnriquePenalosa

@alexisohanian Everything by @steveschoger and @adamwathan: https://tailwindui.com/

@olivierparfait @RecDiffs That’s a good way to put it. 👍

@JayYoms Thanks for diving into this one!

Cool to see folks thinking and responding to things I’ve written. 👍

@dohertyjf Can you explain what’s happening here? Not sure I understand. (But I want to!)

@jdnoc I’m not sure if you’ve read it, but this piece is the one I feel more strongly about. 😉

https://justinjackson.ca/surfing

“The main thing” was more of an intellectual curiosity.

@jdnoc Good thread!

Ultimately, it’s our ability to spot good waves, paddle out to them, and ride them that will give us a chance at success.

(Quick aside: you and I certainly have a ton of privilege, which definitely provides us with an unfair advantage.)

@dave_stewart @IndieHackers I should change that; yup.

@seanwes Nice! Congrats 🎉

@jasondoesstuff 😭❤️

“Sweating the small stuff” can add a lot of stress to your life, and often it doesn’t actually help you make progress!

After debating with @tylertringas on Twitter, it was nice to jump on the mics and discuss this topic with more nuance.

We definitely benefitted from having @csallen moderate, and I ended up agreeing with a lot of Tyler’s POV. 👍

Check it out: https://twitter.com/csallen/status/1235974412190375937

@mikettownsend @tylertringas @IndieHackers thanks. 👍

@adamzapasnik_ @tylertringas This stuff here?

“Sweat the small stuff” or “Don’t sweat the small stuff?”

For me, it’s:

“Sweat the small stuff, but only when it matters.”

@andrewculver In LA?

@jeremyvaught Lol.

@petertothsk @IndieHackers @tylertringas Thanks! @csallen did a great job hosting this one. 👍

@alphacolin Is it hay dot com? 😉

@ianlandsman That invoice sale tho! 👀

There's a big benefit to solving climate change: a more livable future.

@RollPersuasion @Podchaser @TransistorFM I'm a big fan of trailers. Especially now that Apple Podcasts and Spotify default to showing them first.

@dougblackjr lol. Actually that sounds pretty good.

WAIT. Am I one of the "olds?"

@aliservetdonmez @TransistorFM For sure! How many hosts do you have?

What have you tried already?

@CraigThirtyFour @calebporzio @DCoulbourne Yeah. We should do a Laracon Pacific Northwest.

@beliolfa 👍 You going to Atlanta?

@michaeldyrynda @DCoulbourne @calebporzio That’s in Vancouver. 😉

I live in the same town as this legend:

@thejonotron Oooooh. Yup, I’m June.

@markjaquith Haha. Nice. I’m a bit ahead of you!

17, 14, 12, 10.

17 can drive a manual transmission pretty well now, and has applied to college. 👍

@markjaquith Do you have teenagers too? 🙀

In your mind, am I older than you, the same age as you, or younger than you?
