@spenwall I haven't seen it! 😱

@ericvanular @jasoncwarner These days, most cities in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec are actually pretty pricey.

(Especially when compared to the Midwest in the 🇺🇸)

@coreyhainesco That’s brilliant.

Definitely makes me want to ride there someday!

@jonhainstock @TransistorFM I talk through some my thinking (pre-launch) in this Microconf talk:

@gabrimarcan I agree. 👍

@thejonotron @dchymko @AngelaHapke @TransistorFM

@Mattylantz So good. So refreshing. So wholesome.

@digitaltrouble Oooh 👀

@nbashaw I wonder if our culture has become more transparent?

Is it harder for bad behavior to stay hidden these days?

@punchlinecopy 😂

@jonathanstark @davidguttman Let’s do that!

Was especially inspired to 🔥 VCs after reading this New Yorker piece:

@lesley_pizza You’re welcome.

Just realized there’s a grammar mistake in that tweet. 🤦‍♂️

@lesley_pizza What are you most anxious about?

@magnus_singer @Shopify @tobi I love that you're exploring this!

I'm just seeing that the problem (the challenge) is that it's easy to find *everything* on Amazon.

To compete, independents are going to need to leverage a shared network of inventory.

@dato_mu Does it ship to Canada?

@dr Best life! 🤙

@lesley_pizza Nice! I like a later start as well. 👍

@venikunche YES VENI! 🙌 MY KIND OF PEOPLE.

Agreed.

Society’s circadian rhythm feels off. https://twitter.com/cheriehu42/status/1331122473925038081

@dvassallo @Shopify @Square In this video, I describe how local merchants actually have a delivery advantage over Amazon in some cases:

@bradenkeith $$$

@thenpingme Nice! Congrats! 🎉

@raspberrysarah Oh yeaaaaaaaaah!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Love this.

@coreyhaley should check this out too. 😀

@Malcolm_Ocean @RoamResearch @Conaw It is interesting!

I wonder if it's "what kind of 'religion' appeals most in a given situation?"

Some folks want to follow the Pope, some folks want to follow the Catholic church.

@bradlc insane work on there Tailwind site Brad! 🙌

@Shpigford @LaserTweets Love it

@rylandking @arvidkahl Yes!

But... keep your surfing experience because it’s a powerful metaphor for business. 😄

@mateusjatenee Good writing advice here:

@t_chernyshenko this reminds me... I need to eat lunch. 😜

@mynameis_davis Sweet. Just signed up. I need all the help I can get with http://transistor.fm 😎

@romain_cauchy That's pretty cool!

@JoeTannorella Nice. I like those three options/templates you have at the bottom.

@dougblackjr @HeyCheckIt_com Sweet. I'll take a look

@chrisbreuer1904 @meema_io I dig it!

@bgardner @agentengine Nice! The worst part about RE websites is how un-performant they are. Fix those pagespeed scores! 😄

@jasonlbeggs @tailwindcss WHAT! Whoa.

@heymosef The new Shure MV7:

@_brandswell enjoying your chat with @fritzinc!

@MrSimonBennett Dusty Dackson

@catthekin Very helpful thread. I just followed a bunch of these folks! 🙏

@lovevalgeisler @BOMBAS Living your best life! 🥳

@MattGiovanisci 🎶 I can’t put my pipes in the wall

Brilliant.

@RaulOnRails @TransistorFM @fairremote Yes! 🙌

@StephenWilson 😂

2. Create something they'll pay for

This is about building a compelling product.

Software needs to be fast, intuitive, responsive. You need features that are so good, people will switch to get them.

Your app should satiate your customers' desires. "More reliable, faster."

@csallen Lol.

My wife and I did the same thing! Made a cake last night and also... cake for breakfast!

@lesley_pizza 🎯 “Needs to be similar to pricing they’re used to.”

@drewhaines3 @GeoffTRoberts @BeardAboutIt @mubashariqbal A random video from the internet, where the (unidentified) narrator makes a claim about an election worker is not *evidence*.

Trump says we can't trust the media, election workers, election commissioners, the courts, the state legislatures...

But random twitter accounts are ok?

@dvassallo I don’t buy your reasoning, because Trump is plainly incorrigible and incompetent.

(They would never hire this guy to be their CEO)

When you’re voting for leader of the country, you don’t vote for the authoritarian.

(They could have abstained their vote too.)

@IAmSunnyDan Sorry, did you just reference a credit card pamphlet and an anonymous Twitter account as your primary sources?

@drewhaines3 After claiming voter fraud in 2016, Trump’s own commission on voter fraud found no voter fraud.

We’ve seen this tape play before Drew!

@cforsythdev This isn’t about “another party/person.”

This is about Trump.

It’s purely about whether *he* should be the one to hold the highest office, the nuclear codes, the covid response, and the response to climate change.

@frodeknutsen That comparison doesn’t fly.

Trump stands apart from all other politicians.

He is uniquely awful, in ways that others aren’t.

There’s a scale of bad, and he breaks the scale.

@JordanGal Upvoted! Congrats on the launch 🚀

@abigailotwell It’s unbelievable. We’ve politicized scientific advice and expertise. 🤦‍♂️

@sol_orwell @AaronOrendorff @KingDogDad @dohertyjf google “nerd mullet”

@michaeldyrynda @northsouthaudio @JacobBennett @thenpingme Nice 🙌

@shanerostad @coreyhainesco @TransistorFM I've got a bug report in for that as well. 👍

@chrisachard @r00k @cgenco @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas Yes! I've got a bug report for that one. 👍

@chrisachard @r00k @cgenco @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas Chris: you'll need to submit to Apple Podcasts to get a profile on Overcast (they use Apple's directory).

Good news: as of yesterday, we've made this *really* easy.

@petersuhm 💯 huge observation.

The religious (specifically evangelical) culture in North America has had a huge impact on creative people here.

(And... lots of non-religious devs here started by making band websites too)

@chrisachard @cgenco @r00k @derrickreimer @artofproductpod @jonbuda @buildyoursaas AWWWW YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@TylerMKing @louisnicholls_ @podcastpage @TransistorFM It’s definitely something we’re planning on adding (I want it too!).

We just want to make sure that whatever we create is sustainable, and doesn’t become a monster. 😜

@TylerMKing @louisnicholls_ @podcastpage @TransistorFM Yup, I agree with all of this. It’s something we’re felt/identified from the beginning (the current website was originally intended only for the Good News podcast).

But building a CMS is no light task. 😅

We have to be especially careful that we don’t cause way more support.

@adii Nice! Love that this product is in a niche I don’t understand at all: excited to learn from you.

@tnorthcutt It’s an old old podcast. I need to update that stuff.

Kishi Bashi is on Spotify here:

@alexjpanagis @pjrvs Almost never unsolicited.

Unsolicited advice is hard (foolish?) to take – you have no bearing on who the advice giver is, if they’re trustworthy, what they know, how they know it, etc...

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1048677683549224960?s=20

@vponamariov I think you’d want to engage this kind of thinking once you’re already in motion.

Similar to what @richardbranson says here:

https://justinjackson.ca/risks

I can't figure out this domain forwarding thing - anyone know how to do this? (Maybe @aeden or someone at @dnsimple?) https://www.pscp.tv/w/cmCulTM4NTU1MXwxbkFLRUFhVkJxYktM7878rEs3x9lWg4UaZOt7a6h_tO699e2o5PdIwz8OTsA=

@JordanGal 🔥

@sfermigier I believe that the way taxation and privacy laws are implemented in the EU puts bootstrapped startups at a disadvantage.

@ArlanWasHere @Backstage_Cap How does this work for Canadians? 🇨🇦

@DCoulbourne 🤣 omg omg omg omg

@derrickreimer @savvycal_ this is a super good idea.

@meet__chopra 1. Number of potential customers
2. How much they spend
3. The frequency at which they buy
4. Their willingness to pay
5. Number of competitors

@JordanGal @jhooks We’ve had a Springfree for years and it’s probably my favorite “family purchase” ever.

@Shpigford you’re speaking my love language josh

@einarvollset @mattwensing @JordanGal @ltse Yeah, I want a “BSE” 😜

(Seriously though: giving bootstrappers the chance for a serious liquidity event would be 💯)

@JordanGal How does this relate to @ltse?

Do they have even lower minimums?

@AngeZanetti When we started Product People in 2012, I remember thinking I was late to the game! 🤣

I think there's always room for something new, especially if you're bringing something unique & real to the table.

@zuzana_kunckova It’s ok to wait. 👍

Good ideas usually reveal themselves at the right time.

It’s like fishing, and waiting for the right catch. 🎣

@vvdtnl @WdeB @jasonfried @dhh 👍 yes. Highly recommended. @VelocityWong and @shildner are great hosts!

@petersuhm Argh. I feel terrible. Wasn't trying to dissect your words. I'm cheering for you! ❤️

I've had terrible partnerships in the past as well.

But this current partnership with Jon feels incredible. (like Voltron.)

It might not last forever, but it's been an amazing experience.

@mattwensing @thisisbranch Sorry (this is probably my fault) - I wasn’t trying to make this a hit piece.

Folks wanted to know which parts I disagreed with, so I was just talking that out, out loud.

I agree that not all startups need (or should have) co-founders.

@codyantunez lol. yup. secret door. just come to the border and knock 3 times!

@gilesvangruisen @ApplePodcasts @OvercastFM @pocketcasts @CastroPodcasts Creators are increasingly moving back to open protocols like email newsletters (Substack, ConvertKit), blogs, etc because they’re tired of being squeezed by owner channels, like YouTube.

Ultimately I’m hoping everyone realizes that open is better than closed (for creators).

@casey_helmick @misener @JamesCridland @webby2001 @podcastharry @AaronPodcasting @StephenWilson @erikbison @_joe_stone_ @arithisandthat @TransistorFM Ok. Now I love you. 😍 Thank you! We really appreciate it.

@casey_helmick @misener @JamesCridland @webby2001 @podcastharry @AaronPodcasting @StephenWilson @erikbison @_joe_stone_ @arithisandthat Awww yeahhh! 🔥 Thanks for the shoutout. 🙌

@chasewreeves Watching right now!

@ianlandsman Shouldn’t that banner read:

“Make America great some more.”

@jayacunzo Lots of parents in @megamaker.

@yongfook So dope!

@stas_kulesh Love that one!

@theandreboso Working on it! It’s super competitive.

@paidinsights Hahaha. This is what I was worried about. 😜
