@anthilemoon Me too. ☺️

You’re doing great! 🙌

@tobi @Square @LightspeedHQ @Shopify Awesome! 🙌

Increasingly, I’m realizing that independent shops could benefit from networks (similar to the old webrings) to recommend products for adjacent stores.

Is @shopify doing anything here?

@adamwathan @Square @LightspeedHQ @tobi @Shopify Especially when compared to filling out a checkout form with 17+ fields. 🤯

@daveambrose @mollydewolf @MatthewZiskie Can you elaborate on that a bit?

How will using the indie creator tools lead to more employment?

@scottbolinger Fancy!

@ow YES!!!!!!! This was my first thought when COVID19 hit. We went for groceries, the bill was $175 and so....

@chadkoh More like NEON GREEN AND PINK

@jchristopher @shawnblanc +1

@spencerfry @Square @weebly What’s your go to resource for that?

@rasliche Yes! Henry Mitzenberg https://mintzberg.org/sites/default/files/page/rebalancing_full.pdf

@usefathom @JackEllis You got me! 😜

@nateritter Best Buy should have them, as will your local music supply store.

@jhooks I had to do this as well. Had just moved into a new office/studio space too. 😞

@mastermaq What is the CEC? Are they supposed to promote the oil sands or something?

@sm Congrats!!! What a beauty!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@gkrinker @Shopify @Square @WooCommerce The solution (a viable alternative to Amazon) should be owned cooperatively.

This could be a co-op, open source, or Social Benefit Corp.

Example: @photomatt (WP) and @JohnONolan (Ghost) have leveraged community ownership and open source for the greater benefit of participants.

@AndyMusing 🙌

@rezzz Yes! There might be other lightweight ways to test this:

1. A Chrome extension that suggests other shops in your area with that item.

2. Small, delivery co-ops that allow local shops to ship goods faster within your town.

@kaigradert Have a good night!

@JohnHargrove Sleep well my friend! 😜

@daysormay Sugar Ray concert

@ianlandsman It’s down a bit, but it really depends on the topic.

My guess is this applies to all types of media: some topics are up and some are down.

@YMarie113 @Shopify @Square @WooCommerce In retail, “buying clubs” and “buying associations” are already a thing: retailers band together and buy as a group, increasing their leverage and helping them all get a wholesale discount.

@brettg98 @DanPriceSeattle Yes! Exactly.

Local delivery networks could even be FASTER and more efficient than traditional delivery methods.

@DanPriceSeattle Totally understand. ❤️

@ANDYdotCOMPANY Nothing official, but if you need help getting started, DM me. 👍

@iChris @chriscoyier @ShopTalkShow I’ll pay 💰

@_DanteGalindo Agreed. Coronavirus sucks!

@bentoalson +1

I’ve been thinking a lot about “double-enders,” but for video: where both sides have the same camera + lens and can record their scenes locally to be mashed up in editing.

@jamesmills @Mattylantz @clubhouse +1

@tnorthcutt @transistor Yup! We’ll convert them to MP3s for you. 👍

@chasewreeves This was really nice.

Your call to @scottthepainter was my fave spot. 👍

(And the promo for CUPS)

@jonnysun Congrats! ❤️

@jasonlk The handful of places I’ve gone to locally in my little town have all had safe food handling + no crowds.

@ideasasylum Sounds like my kind of walk!

@mariepoulin Oh god I can’t

@dougblackjr - DM them and ask them how they’re feeling
- buy takeout / online orders if you can
- write your elected officials asking for loans / grants / relief for small biz

I'm especially frustrated because I'm seeing what small shops are up against.

I'm technical, and I can barely figure out how to get these ecommerce platforms working (while keeping it affordable).

Any help tech giants provide can give small biz a better chance of surviving. 🙏

I realize I might sound harsh, but in the past week I've tried helping 5+ local retailers move their business online, and each of these items is another piece that discourages store owners and makes them want to quit.

Fixing the checkout UI + free domain connection feels doable.

@spencerfry @Square Square just announced tons of new stuff for retailers during this outbreak, but they're missing the biggest wins.

An expedited checkout experience is crucial.

Fixing bugs like this need to be a top priority.

@mjwhansen I found this episode of @sciencevs helpful:

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1240842560005795840

@mjwhansen Yup. I always feel like crap this time of year (sore throat, itchy eyes, sneezing, difficulty breathing) so there’s this constant question: “is this what I was feeling yesterday?”

@bramk 💯

@missbikesalot @TheFitMarshall Love this!

(And I’m a secret Fitness Marshall fan)

@ugmonk Just read it. It’s well written; I appreciated the honesty!

@smithtimmytim 😂

@darianrosebrook 🙌

@m1guelpf Hurrraaaaaayyy! 👏👏👏

NYMAG: “We were expecting herd immunity to build,” Imperial epidemiologist Azra Ghani said in a press conference on Monday night. “We now realize it’s not possible to cope with that.”

@peeplaja @Patticus @ryandeiss Ironically, I think these kinds of emails lead to more churn.

@Kev_Conti Yes!!!!

@Wickerpedia Us too! 🙈

@immad we've bee waiting for a response all day about why a Stripe transfer failed (for @TransistorFM).

Can we get a response on that?

@LauraBaziuk St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and many bars and nightclubs are still advertising events.

Dr Henry, @adriandix, @jjhorgan, @PattyHajdu need to issue clear guidelines for bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and cafes.

MD has less #covid19 cases and did this:

@VelocityWong Have you listened to Season 1 of The Dream yet? 🤯

https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s1-e1-wanna-swim-in-cash/id1435743296?i=1000420324159

@ScottHYoung @govbc @Canada We're testing way more people than the USA (which is 👍).

But over the next few weeks, we're going to see confirmed cases skyrocket (similar to what's happened in Italy).

@jessicamwicks @KeliWestgate 🤦‍♂️

CC: @PHSAofBC, @adriandix, @CDCofBC, @JustinTrudeau, @GovCanHealth

@brettg98 lol. true. And they’re still wearing this hat.

@chris_hawk @tomhanks Yup. Asthmatic here. 👋

@siddharthkp @jonbuda Nice! 🙌

@adammasonx @marshal I thought this too? 🤔

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

@jitbit @MicroConf Yup. Me too.

@allanbranch Sell take-home growlers?

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

@shellen Stay safe!

@yarobagriy Nice. 👌

@Sofiaqt @TransistorFM Thanks!

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

@dvassallo This is helpful! Thanks. 👍

@iChris All day, every day.

@jeff_archibald Yup! 👋

@JayYoms Thanks for diving into this one!

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

@dave_stewart @IndieHackers I should change that; yup.

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

@jeremyvaught Lol.

@ianlandsman That invoice sale tho! 👀

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

@beliolfa 👍 You going to Atlanta?

@calebporzio wait, am I your dad?

@calebporzio @DCoulbourne Ok, but seriously how much is a plane ticket from North Carolina/Florida to Kelowna, BC?

Let’s ride.

@ianlandsman @earthlingworks @einarvollset “The right policy at the wrong time is the wrong policy”

☝️ is that what you mean?

@ugmonk Thanks for sharing it! Glad it was helpful. 🙏

@aprildunford Tell me about it!!!!

“We’re going to need you to come into the branch to do that.”

I’ve had to go into the branch to get really basic questions answered. When I explained to the teller that I had USD and CAD checking accounts they looked at me like I was from another planet.

@bramk Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the demo board @attridgeshop! 🙌

@earthlingworks Haven’t heard this one yet. I’ll look him up! 👍

@Copypastaa Kubernetes and serverless both solve problems people were already searching for.

They’re responses to scaling problems people were actively trying to solve.

(There is tons of tech that gets created, but doesn’t solve a problem folks have, and dies because of lack of demand)

@siddheshrane24 @IndieHackers Thanks!

@arvidkahl @digitaltrouble @LEVI_tha_3rd Well put Arvid. 💯

@bnchrch it was nice hanging out today! 🙌

@Mattylantz daaaaaamn. That’s the kind of snow we need here at Silver Star Mountain.
