Cool to see my app go live in the App Store. It's a kids book discovery app for parents.
In beta for Android, too ✌️

Shipped something I've been working heads-down on for months today.
Hookdeck Outpost is GA — open-source outbound webhooks. Self-host, or let us run it. Same code either way.
Oh, and it's 10x cheaper than the alternatives. $10 per million events.
🧵

We process billions of webhooks a week at @hookdeck. We've seen every failure mode.
We've packaged that knowledge into skills that AI agents can use.
Provider-specific. Framework-aware. Prod-ready.

He'd had been following Mighty for awhile—but People Magic Profit helped @amillerblog finally take the leap and launch Reverie, a community for tech professionals navigating burnout.

I'll be taking a small break as I look for my next opportunity.

I just published a deep dive about a creator who built a $400k/year community business... accidentally.
So I did what I always do - I spent tens of hours digging in to understand how.
This is the Creator to Community story of @dvassallo & Small Bets

RIP my inbox 💀
This is what it looks like after you've signed up to 127 different online communities.
In case you missed it, here's the resulting Community Onboarding report: community.inc/soco
You're welcome, I guess 😅
Now I'm off to delete a few emails...
What's the secret to great community onboarding?
I joined 127 online communities to find out.
Then compiled my findings into a report filled with actionable takeaways for #cmgr to improve your own onboarding.

When it comes to community onboarding, I see many opinions but never any data.
I want to change that. So I joined 127 online communities to find out what their onboarding looks like.
I've gathered my findings into a report: State of Community Onboarding.
It comes out tomorrow.
Covering:
- Messaging and positioning (taglines, descriptions, unique selling points, and social proof)
- Data collection
- Onboarding messages
The result is a bunch of data-backed takeaways & recommendations you can use to improve your own community onboarding.
