@T_Zahil @thekitze @getfernand I've used a few really clunky support tools in the past. This looks like a really good alternative. Loved the video demo! Would love to check it out.

Pricing handled via a micro-interaction on the permission list for active vs passive users. Need the user to reply to customers? $29/mo. Or just collaborate inside the tool? free. No need to pre-purchase seats and assign them to team members, then realizing you never have the right amount. Also, it automatically re-adjusts every month based on your team composition. → product craft series #015

I’ve spent the last four days secluded on a tiny island in North Germany shooting and editing the new @getfernand product demo video. This place has literally three times more sheep than people. This photo sums up the setup pretty well: my camera is propped up on a baby chair we've found lying around, and held in place by a jar of Nutella. Hey, whatever works! The biggest learning is that this stuff is harder than it looks. As a bootstrapped founder you just end up picking up new skills because it’s faster than coordinating with someone else. Sure, we could have hired someone to do this for us, but the time and energy it would’ve taken to find the right person and brief them isn’t really aligned with how we’re building this company. So... I wrote a script, sat in front of the camera (..yikes!), learned video-editing basics, and spent 30+ hours to get to something that felt “good enough”. I'm still not really satisfied, but it does the job. Huge respect for the founders like @dceddia who manage to ship a video every day. I genuinely don’t know how you do it. Now that Fernand’s product has reached a certain maturity, it feels like the right moment to invest more in product marketing. Explaining the feature set better, showing real workflows, and helping teams get more out of what they already have. Our pricing is super simple: one active seat, everything included. Unfortunately, some customers still only use a third of what’s available. I think sometimes it's because the feature doesn't totally fit their use case, but sometimes it's just because they don't even know it exists... and that's on me to fix. My setup: - Google Pixel 9 camera shooting in 4K - Makeshift lights we gather from around the house - @screenstudio for UI footage - Shure MV7 microphone recorded separately with Quicktime - Adobe Podcast Enhance to erase my cofounder keyboard tipping noise 😬 - Descript for editing (Really impressive tool!) - A jar of Nutella for stability

When Alex first reached out to invite me on his podcast, I hesitated. If there’s one thing I’ve never really seen myself as, it’s a “true operator”. I’ve always felt more like a starter, someone who likes to build, simplify, and move on once things get humming. But maybe that’s part of operating, too. Maybe there isn’t just one way to run things. Some people operate by scaling, others by shaping. Both matter. One keeps things alive, the other gives them direction. We ended up having a great conversation about what it means to build a calm customer support operation: why most setups break, where AI helps (and especially where it doesn’t), and why I believe in embracing slowness. Taking the time to keep improving a small, focused product instead of chasing endless features and complexity. Calm doesn’t mean static; it means intentional.

@jackfriks @denisyurchak What do you mean with the last point? Having everything synced when you write to customers from different channels?

I’m willing to pay $50 a month for a tool that: - can help me write response emails to customers - has the contest of my product - uses my time of voice - detect when i start writing in an email client or my admin panel

7. @getfernand I handle all my support with Fernand, the "Calm customer support". The DX is incredible, pricing is very generous, and it keeps evolving constantly. Bonus: you can do EVERYTHING with keyboard shortcuts, I love that

@T_Zahil We already looked into this but X API was a shitshow, at least until recently. Will think more about this!

I'd love a tool to: - Read and analyze my X and Linkedin DMs and my emails. - Mark the irrelevant one as read/spam - Provide me with an interface to answer the relevant ones, with a suggested auto-generated reply Thanks

I'm reading Zendesk's founder biography Funny enough, a lot of what he originally imagined for Zendesk 18 years ago is remarkably close to what we're now building with @getfernand. Back to the basics. No clutter. A sense of craft. No enterprise BS. What happened?
