I quit the company I sold in March 2020 (pandemic month) and went FT in Slingshot. Year 1 - Made almost nothing. Year 4 - Got down to $600 in biz account. Year 7 - We're profitable. Working with Adobe, Google, and TONS of startups helping them create/manage swag. Do not quit.

@aarondfrancis @modal Customer of ours and amazing team/product!

I moved my whole video rendering pipeline to @modal and couldn't be happier

@rallypickle_ Need that hat!

First retail placement happened faster than we thought. If you’re in NYC, snag a shot 🥒⚡️ 📍The Shelf | 2 Rivington March 13 - April 19

@and__dre Meaning I should switch to Dia haha

@and__dre Game changer

Funny browsing Pinterest on Dia, didn’t realize the ads to content ratio is above 50% 🤯

@brettjweisberg @rallypickle_ @TheDieline Check this out @adesome

When the product is pickle juice and it’s built for athletes, the brand better feel intentional, not gimmicky. That was the goal from day one with @rallypickle_ Pretty cool to see that work recognized by @TheDieline today.

@landforce Yeah they all suck right now. Tried the same thing based on our site

1 - Reference site 2 - "Style guide" based on it 3 - New page layout ??

@0Venkata Hahaha!

@howardcjohn Gabriela really said the body is none of your business.

New cold email format has dropped

@SoniaBaschez Love this but wow he has an awkward swing

We're going to be seeing a lot more co-branded commercials because it helps amplify both brands a lot more than just doing it standalone and it's cheaper for both brands to pay for one spot instead of their own!

@emili_iv @jurrehoutkamp @cedric_design @learnframer @mrblackstudio Incredible idea

What started as “let’s highlight the winners” turned into us showing up at their doors with huge $10K checks. Hanging out with these four Framer legends was surreal. More coming 😈

@howardcjohn The sims is back haha

We ended up going viral with students at a high school in California. - Day 1: one student signs up - Day 2: 3 more signup - Day 3: 8 more signup - Day 4: 8 more signup + their teacher I’m glad we’re helping cure boredom in class with the Sims for real life.

iOS developers: How long is App Review taking for everyone these days? It is now taking longer to get our app approved than it is to build the actual features.

@raymmar @Replit @boltdotnew Yesssss

@howardcjohn @Replit @boltdotnew Hahaha. We need some rampage in here huh?

Welcome to Replitopolis Where every building represents a @Replit user and height is based on platform usage. Here are the top 300 users over the last 3 days. Should we make this public?

@marvinaziz You should use merch redemption links for merch (of course not pizza haha) so that you have touch points post-meetup

I almost had to tackle someone at our community event Thursday night. We hosted 50 people at our office. We put out stickers on the welcome table. You know, the branded ones everyone pretends they don't want but definitely takes one. This guy walks in at 6:45pm. Grabs the entire stack. All of them. Then he takes a full pizza box. Not slices. The box. Then he loads up on Coke cans. Water bottles. Everything on the snack table that wasn't bolted down. At some point he wandered past the event area and into the office. Just browsing. Like it was an IKEA. My coworker and I just stood there watching him like mall security with no authority. He left at 7:05pm. lol. This kind of person shows up to every event. They're not there to network or learn anything. They're there because someone said "free food" and they optimized their Thursday night around calories per minute. SF event hosting is 80% managing for the 2% of people who treat your office like a Costco sample run. Next time the stickers go behind the table and you have to ask for one like a normal person.

@openhome @hnshah It recognizes when certain individuals enter the home and then play their entrance song like WWE

@jamesonhaslam Yes

not to be a hater but, this is reaaaaalllly ugly, right?

@denk_tweets @beehiiv Bring back light mode!

.@beehiiv landing page 2021 vs 2026 👀 the old gradient button kinda slaps tbh

@Dan_The_Goodman We built ours with photo proof for that reason.

I hate deceptive logo walls
