"Real life keeps going, even when you launch"

@CalebWojcik I’d listen to Rage Against the Machine

I share some @joltbook launch numbers in this new episode of @megamaker3000 ⚡️ https://overcast.fm/+F110xTJ4Q

This is my type of Olympic sport.

Just did a Snapchat vs Instagram story on https://instagram.com/mijustin

What makes people try a new app?

Think Snapchat: unconventional, weird, fun.

Customers are especially loyal to the product they're using *now* because there's a general sense of "tools fatigue."

Too many options.

Decided to do something CRAZY and release my interview with @mikaelcho early on @megamaker3000 🤘 #megamaker

.@KarenUnland is showing me the power of a great editor.

Everything she suggests makes my writing better. She's the Wayne Gretzky of prose.

I’ve been trying an experiment: re-publishing some of my Snapchat stories on YouTube.

Here’s a short one:

@jasonfried love that you're paying attention to the quality of printouts. So important for so many customers, and often ignored. 👍

I just shared a bunch of ideas on pricing here. I'd love to hear your thoughts:

I've been listening to @dearestscooter.

He puts me to sleep. https://overcast.fm/+BbVNDdfMQ

For those of you who can't see Twitter polls, here are the answers so far:

If you want to figure out more Snapchat stuff, you should just get @ichris's course. He taught me everything I know:

My wish for the iPhone (from the @6secondspodcast) https://overcast.fm/+GvNiq0ce8

My favorite part is at 1:49 when this Jeff Foxworthy doppelgänger shows up.

This is exactly how I feel. It's like: "GAAAH. If I was at a real keyboard I could do this PROPERLY.”

@mastermaq @KarenUnland love this idea. Happy to see it launch!

@zeldman I think you'd dig the radio story that @sparkcbc did on "F*cking Webmaster" and "This is a Web Page:"

@TourismVernon

@Shpigford not yet. I'll let you know when it happens.

It's fine for users to complain publicly.

But the real question is: did your change achieve the intended results?

If so: 👍
If not: iterate

@jmetzendorf I like this new one @musicformakers

(Did this because @natekontny urged me to practice writing by making more lists. This one seemed hilarious to me)

I use @path to share photos with family.

A few things I'd love to see:
- email newsletters (send photos to grandma)
- updated photo filters

Happy Monday!

What are you doing *right* now?

What happened to that baby in Labyrinth.

@AlyssaAFox @kylefox true, but you probably have to hear him rant about JavaScript frameworks.

Copycats rarely prosper.
