@amanda__chan @kicpeople @dchymko @station_bbq awwww yeaaah! I’m going to have a victory burrito with Daryl when he gets back.

Today:

@Shpigford we've tried a bunch. The challenge is that nothing *really* resonates like Minecraft. Lego is the closest thing.

Big news about the #megamaker burrito. Check it out on my Snapchat.

@gumroad A5. My biggest advice for creators who haven't launched is to *keep their scope small*. Reduce scope and ship it!

@rodconwi @jjalsey @gumroad The key with Reddit is to build a positive reputation in each sub-reddit before using it as a promo channel.
