Big day! We just launched a new brand for @Memberful. New look, new site, and finally a brand that matches our point of view. Memberful is for operators who want to own their membership business completely; not rent it. memberful.com

I think the SaaSpocalypse is a bit overblown but something is no doubt happening. Maybe it's like cord cutting, where folks now have the option to unbundle these big platforms like Salesforce in exchange for more tailored, specific tools they actually use. e.g. Instead of a $300/month Comcast bill, you just pay for ESPN and HBO.

Also, in my experience designing hundreds of decks for myself and others, more tasteful friction between your brain and the slides is probably a good thing

What a sad point of view. Having used the product, it tracks though. The world's best companies know design is a compounding investment, not a tax.
Grant Lee@thisisgrantlee

There's a hidden tax on every knowledge worker in the world, and nobody talks about it: The design tax. You're a strategist, a sales lead, a marketer. You were hired for what you know. But every meeting, every pitch, every proposal expects you to show up with something that looks like a designer made it. I lived this. Before Gamma, I spent time in consulting and investment banking. I spent more hours formatting slides than the analysis that went into them. When my cofounders and I started Gamma, we asked: what if you never had to be a designer in the first place? Five years and nearly 100 million users later, we've refunded billions of hours of the design tax. Today, we're eliminating it for good with our biggest launch ever. Gamma Imagine — a powerful, AI-native visual creation tool directly in Gamma. Posters, logos, infographics, visuals from a single prompt. On brand, every time. AI-Native Templates. Templates were supposed to save you from design work. Instead you spent the time filling them in. So we completely rebuilt the template experience. Modify a whole deck with a single prompt, with your brand and style intact every time. Gamma Connectors. You're already thinking in ChatGPT and Claude. Now Gamma sits inside the most popular work apps in the world. No more context-switching. You were hired for your ideas, not to resize text boxes. Let Gamma pay the design tax.

@rjs Yeah, exactly - the collaboration aspect is useful, but I think this pattern is valuable even just for myself. There's a dissonance right now in how ephemeral even the really meaty working sessions with Claude feel.

@okdan I'm sure all of this will become obsolete once we get some better tooling ... but I need our source of truth to be Claudable so I'm willing to put up with the churn :)

Starting using a shared memory git repo with team members who are Clauded. Now when I want to explain something to them, I am oddly inclined to give them a prompt. "Ask this." Interesting tooling gap.

New brand work for @Memberful! Memberful helps creators and operators create elevated, branded membership experiences that they own entirely. It’s white-label and white glove, so we built an identity to match: clean, premium, and typography-led with creators at the forefront.

Working with @jstrelioff and @daniellelaroy was one of the most fun and rewarding experiences I've had in a long time! They treated our business, @memberful, that we care about *so* much with true care and excellence at every step.

AI-native startup exits stealth after oversubscribed Seed Round, raising Series A to hire S-Tier operators, achieve PMF, deploy agentic workflows for 10x leverage, and build a generational moat across a massive TAM.

@memberful Huge thanks to the team at @Goodside_Studio and @selfawarestudio for bringing this to life. They were fantastic partners in helping us find and step into our voice. Memberful is a unique and special company, and I couldn’t be happier with how it came together.

Toddler, just sick enough to get kicked out of daycare. Not sick enough to lose an ounce of energy. Sick enough to get both parents sick for a week. Repeat.

@zachklein Chicago is rich with mid-rise neighborhoods and boulevards, and one of the reasons it's such a livable big city.

Unpopular opinion in America: mid-rise neighborhoods are more durable and livable places than high-rise neighborhoods. Also, I love that the SF pursued UCSF as the anchor tenant of the new neighborhood and diversified our economy with more biotech and health-related enterprise.
Wally Nowinski@Nowooski

San Francisco government makes a lot of bad choices, but the fact they zoned an entire brownfield neighborhood for low to mid rise buildings directly adjacent to downtown is among the bigger missed opportunities.

You have to admit it's kind of funny that Anthropic uses Atlassian Statuspage

Spawned an album-focused music app for myself last night with Claude. It’s a progressive web app that reads a local directory for media and creates a grid of album covers. Click to play. No track listings, no search, just right.
