@dhrubaio back up now!

@dereknutile thanks! I just checked my email. Looks like @wpengine was doing emergency maintenance.

However, it should have been done now.

@thechaz it’s an interesting idea I hadn’t thought of before. Lots of people have been coming to rent time. Cool to see.

@thechaz In my small city a few guys have opened up a “VR center” (similar to the old Internet cafes) where people can rent VR time.

@thechaz that is challenging for sure.

Do you own your VR gear?

@chrislema THAT’S RIGHT.

Love the 🇨🇦 angle to this story:

“How the song American Woman was accidentally created in a curling rink.”

RT @BrendanHufford: Everybody moving from day job to something else should read this from @mijustin https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/764543697396518912

@SenseException that's the first step! 🙌

@BrendanHufford thanks for sharing it! ⚡️

@amirkhella 🙌

Most of my Instagram / Snapchat updates:

@ebarbaric no good skiing close by. Ferries. Didn’t know as many families there. Really liked the interior.

AWWW yeaaaah! Thank you! ⚡️

RT @kovlex: Flew through 50% of JOLT by @mijustin in one sitting, took notes along the way. It has something for everyone https://t.co/K0KZ…

On @ProductHunt:

"Should you start a SaaS company in 2016?"

http://buff.ly/2aOQDwP

@sijdesign loved that game

@sijdesign @producthunt awww yeah! 👍

@jasonadriaan awesome! Thanks Jason! Hoping to do an expanded version soon too for people who want a full bundle of screencasts, audio, etc

@jamesvandyne nice! 👌

@SachaGreif 👌💯💪❤️👍

@SachaGreif thanks Sacha!! 🙌

@SweatingCommas lol

@meeunier @dnsimple awwwww yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

@sean_lynch 👍

@sean_lynch for sure! Let’s go to @ratiovernon ;)

RT @TheCraigHewitt: Very smart insights here. SaaS may not be the answer for everyone but sure has a lot of upsides. Key is Recurring. htt…

@HadleyKelli thanks Kelli!

@philfreo YAAAS!

@TheCraigHewitt thanks so much! If you can give it a ♥ on Medium that’d be awesome!

@philfreo thanks so much! If you can give it a ♥ on Medium that’d be awesome!

@daverodenbaugh thanks so much! If you can give it a ♥ on Medium that’d be awesome!

@derrickgrigg that’s true!

@derrickgrigg some bets are better than others!

(i.e. Don’t bet on flip phones now)

RT @philfreo: @mijustin I was skeptical of your opinion on SaaS after those tweets, but I think your post makes some great points https://t…

@micahbrich at @gentlemensshop1 👌

@chalmagean yes! I like that. 👌

@daverodenbaugh lol. You'll need to read the whole thread.

@Jonwestenberg thanks!

@AndrewAskins agreed.

But expensive in that they’re harder to reach online than devs, designers, freelancers, startups.

RT @nathanbarry: Starting to read Jolt by @mijustin — https://justinjackson.ca/jolt/

@jasonadriaan I'm seeing less examples of viable micro-SaaS, but they definitely exist.

@tylertringas and @frankholdem are both doing it!

@TheCraigHewitt not sure. ;) My friend @peldi has been doing really well with desktop software for a long time.

@ryanhefner read the transcript. It's good too. ;)

@delk do you have a link to the study / data? I'd love to look at it.

@ryanhefner yup! It's here: http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-292-moving-from-one-time-to-subscription-revenue-when-your-core-product-has-variable-costs-and-more-listener-questions

@ryanhefner products you typically associate with SaaS

@LinusEdwards any congested market is challenging because you really have to stand out.

@DannyvanKooten differentiation. Capture most of LTV upfront.

@neutralhogan thanks!

@Shpigford @delk gotcha. I agree. Starting a SaaS is probably still relatively cheap.

Scaling is the hard / expensive part. ;)

@Shpigford their infrastructure + support costs are quite a big chunk of revenue. They've solved that for now, but if ESP raises rates...

@delk @Shpigford the trend I'm seeing is more expensive:

1. Scaling of infrastructure
2. Hiring required team
3. Customer acquisition

@Shpigford you don't think you need:

1. More skill
2. More money
3. More people

than before?

@ianlandsman agreed. Do you think the complexity / messiness of the available problems has gone up? Very hard to start a PM app these days.

@ianlandsman agreed. What opportunities do you see that we're not seeing?

Enterprise sales?
Software / service combos?

@nbashaw challenging, because those are just the folks that are vocal this week.

.@plehoux yes! I’m seeing more and more examples of low cost contributing to desire. Feels “attainable.”

@crushyourlimits I think it auto-confirms. Need to check that.

@lukaszkups true. I still want one!

@misterparker I’m here! 👋

@JordanGal 😉

RT @kovlex: Read about how we rebuilt our demo pages with the job-to-be-done in mind https://blog.mobiscroll.com/designing-with-jobs-in-mind/

@paulsearle yup

@robmerki CBC online?

@fbourdeau thanks! 🙌

@Castro4Prsdnt so jealous!

@shapingthepage 😆

@clayhebert I didn't know that! I'll have to check that story out! 👍

.@Beryllium9 yes! Sometimes early movers are too early.

I think we'll actually see an AR Glass-like device get wide adoption soon.

@avclark @chase_reeves ummmm, where’s the selfie?

@jamieprip whoa!!! 😮

@iChris yes, likely. The snap chat UI is super frustrating to use too.

@jamieprip some days, none. It probably averages to 500?

@joaomdmoura yes! I don’t like losing threads on Snap.

@StephenWilson @Gladwell whoaaaah! Wish I could be there.

It’s exhilarating because you see your potential. But it’s frightening because you feel your limits.

@crushyourlimits yes!

@crushyourlimits your landing page is what gets people in the door.

I would worry MOST about your headline + sub-headline.

@grantgarrett yes.
