@taherehat It doesn’t seem to be rendering properly on mobile.

@hanaharencar Looks great!

One suggestion: unless your target market is only in Switzerland, I would show all prices in USD.

@lukaszholeczek It feels like the mobile version needs a few tweaks.

I’d fix those first. 👍

@BrokrBindr My guess is that you’ll want to rank for “mortgage broker software Canada.”

One way to start: change your headline on your homepage to “Software for mortgage brokers in Canada.”

@TangiaRenee Also, this "Buy us a coffee" button doesn't seem to work.

@Chill_SPENDiD Perfect! Put that in your headline. 👍

@thebrokenfinger Easy to miss that stuff (I do the same thing).

Your first iterations are always “let’s get this out.”

After that’s done you need more eyes on it to improve it. 👍

@Chill_SPENDiD With financial products, my first question is always “who is this for?”

Is this for students?
Is it for middle-class families?
High-net-worth individuals?

@realsimon__ A few tips/ideas:

- Remove the big hero image at the top of your page
- Change the headline to simply: "Content Marketing & Writing Services"
- Rework the content at the top of that page to really highlight what you're good at, and who you do work for
- Include a testimonial

@RedHaroFST Add a social image to your pages!

Use https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator to validate it.

@_duncanmcclean Looks good!

A few ideas:

1. Add customer testimonials (with faces!) to that page
2. Record video: show how you install it, use it.
3. Add links of sites already using it

@adamwathan lookin’ 🔥

@fmueller_bln @TransistorFM Thanks! 🥰

@markjjeffery @jonbuda @TransistorFM @jasonfried @dhh Thanks!

@jeffreyguenther My experience is that they’re both necessary, but individual marketers will lean towards one approach or the other.

@LarsLofgren is much more data-driven than I am, and yet we’ve both been effective in our various roles.

@CADbloke 💯

@swapnilsarwe @aarondfrancis @laravelphp @andrewculver @rails It looks like Google hasn’t finished indexing the podcast for some reason. I’ll take a closer look. 👍

@alphacolin @asmartbear @vinthanedar Does that happen quite often?

(I wish all numbers were available to me at all times 🤣 It would be amazing to know, in absolute terms, which path is empirically better)

@AWaselnuk Yup. And I’ve lots of people come back to me and say: “now I get it! I felt it!”

@InSearchofReal just listening to your conversation on the @BlisterReview podcast.

I really appreciated your perspective. 👍

@JoelGMcKinnon We’re not sure if we’ll be adding the blog post ability.

That’s something we’re still debating!

@iroughol Wtf. That’s seriously awful. Who talks to people like that?

@dannoblaster That’s a ridiculous false-equivalence.

Quit equating reasonable public health recommendations with an invasion of a peaceful country.

@lukeburgis What constitutes “the fullness of humanity?” Who gets to define that, and how do we measure it?

What % of “10s” are we aiming for? What % of “1s” is acceptable? How do we measure it?

@allanbranch All of Jared Hess’ movies really make me laugh:

1. Gentlemen Broncos

@MattGiovanisci I think the desire to diversify is natural (that’s part of my aim for investing in @meepsapp).

But, we really are limited as humans. We only have so much bandwidth.

@carson_bassett_ TMI is so 2019

@JayGilmore It’s mostly #1 and #3.

@JayGilmore Customer demand can be “latent,” but most often it’s already visible.

I like to see evidence that there is a sizable group of people already searching for a solution:

“Calendar booking software”
“Server deployment tools”
“Form creation software”

@alphacolin this made me lol

@derrickgrigg @Alpine_JS TAL = marketing site (@statamic)

I do like the sound of ART stack... 👍

@bradenkeith Congrats! 🎉

@pupeno I know how that feels; I’ve been there!

I think it’s still helpful to be conscious about what we add to our plate.

We really need to optimize for what gives us more leverage, beyond just “surviving.”

@TotalNathan @nntaleb Nope. I’ve never read Taleb.

@evangoldin yes!! 💯

@andreas_codered 👍 it's good to clear your mind.

@JackEllis @jasonlbeggs @laravelphp Tired now. But I think is @jonbuda is going to look at putting it under Cloudflare next week.

@DCoulbourne is this something you should build? 😉

@iamashley It was a “pancakes for dinner” kind of day here. 😄

@iamashley YES!!!

@thierylaverdure Yup! We were also clear that the $10 plan would have a defined set of features.

Once we launched officially, our new plan ($19/mo) offered unlimited podcasts (on the early access version you had to pay $10/mo for each podcast)

@derrickgrigg @jackmcdade @ecammtweets Nope! I get this question a lot. 😄

@taxigy @laravelphp @tailwindcss @tailwindui @Alpine_JS Postgres for us (just because it's what Jon knew best)

@rathboma Sorry, I don't deal with any of that stuff at Transistor.

I wouldn't be very helpful! 😅

@NAChristakis I'm curious, what was the baseline before the pandemic for teenagers?

(I have 4 teenagers at home. Overall, two of our kids really enjoyed the initial lockdown. The other half missed seeing their friends, and missed being in-class)

@LeviNunnink @SHAWNHOSEA Yes. It’s largely overblown, and applies largely to psychology and sociology research:

“Part of the problem is that many reformers come from a narrow swathe of academia. The authors are predominantly from psychology, social and behavioural sciences.”

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01509-7

@SHAWNHOSEA @LeviNunnink Allan Savory isn’t credible.

And that’s the benefit of science: a collection of experts rigorously review an individual’s ideas.

@Mqsley I understand the idea that the NYT doesn't always get the story right...

But how did we get to "the NYT can explicitly not be trusted?"

And what about reading a plurality of sources? (BBC, WP, WSJ, CBC, National Post, Globe & Mail, Aljazeera)

@digitalbase He can't be adding "balance" if the points he's adding to the conversation are bullshit.

Misinformation does not add balance.

@digitalbase You’re going to have to be more substantive than “your logic is biased and plain wrong.”

What makes JRE part of a “well-balanced meal?”

@SHAWNHOSEA @LeviNunnink Not exactly sure how you’re quantifying “Joe being wrong about *some* things?"

Also, how are you quantifying the “mainstream media’s intent is to persuade?”

How is that measured?

@mattruby I think there's evidence of people being moved by celebrities and vaccination/non-vaccination:

@SHAWNHOSEA @LeviNunnink I said “good science, that employs a process of rigorous review by experts (in discipline, cross-discipline).”

Can you give me an example of a “great advance in science and technology” that have come from people “way outside their field of expertise?”

@LeviNunnink @SHAWNHOSEA This is why genuine expertise and responsible institutions matter.

Of course, if you only read the tabloids, you're going to get bad information.

Dr. Caroline Buckee (Harvard) has a good piece on who qualifies as an expert:

https://leaps.org/who-qualifies-as-an-expert-and-how-can-we-decide-who-is-trustworthy/particle-4

@SHAWNHOSEA No single source should be the sole source for truth, but a plurality of reliable sources can be.

This is the whole basis for the scientific process.

@mattruby To imply that Rogan doesn't have influence over how people think & behave seems silly.

It's the "Oprah effect," the "Elon effect," the "Rogan effect."

@SHAWNHOSEA It’s the plurality of sources and expertise that’s important.

The NYT’s take on event isn’t credible on its own. But if I read the BBC, CBC, WP, WSJ, Globe & Mail, and the National Post, I should be able to gather a sense of what’s happening,
