The independent route still isn't in-vogue for most software companies (and it was even less so when we started) but we wouldn't have it any other way. For more about why we chose the non-VC route early on, I shared some thoughts on our blog here: pathwright.com/blog/dont-sel…
Happy Indie Day! Just like with your food, it’s good to know where your software comes from. 🧵

Here's how I ended my newsletter for @Pathwright today. 🧵 When I walk in my neighborhood, I like to look at the ecosystem before me from up to down. I see birds flying, which will lead them to trees. I see leaves in trees, which are fed by branches. Branches to trunks to...

“Netflix for education”/“edutainment” is such a tired, flimsy idea. Learning requires struggle. Entertainment requires *a lack* of struggle. Mashing them together is as absurd as “non-fiction fiction”, “writing while gaming”, or a shade of “purple yellow.”

10 years ago today! Grateful to still be working on this every day. Side note: we had to rebrand in from "Coursebook" to "Pathwright" in 12 days b/c Facebook was threatening us for using the word "book" in our name and the Techcrunch article was already scheduled 😅
Coursebook is now @PathwrightApp and is live! Check it out: pathwright.com

Ten years is a long time to work on one thing. xitter.cf/Paul_Johnson/status/14…
10 years ago *today* @wmdmark and I introduced "Coursebook" for the 1st time in public @brooklynbeta with this demo. It's so satisfying to still be working on it as @Pathwright a decade later. HT to @TheJustinHall for the branding work designed the week before.
