The nudge bar featuring “invited by” encourages referrals to sign up.
The bounce animation. 100% done in CSS by ChatGPT 4 after I struggled to make good keyframes. Looks even better live here: kickofflabs.com

Day 14: Horizon on the lake.
I tell my kids all the time there is often no such thing as “the correct way” to get something done.
The weather app is on point again today.
Day 10: ritual. It’s never drinking alone when you have friends.
Please don’t “TikTokify” everything. Your app could just, you know, do what it’s best at.
The downside is that without the low-effort junk of a typically user-generated platform, you don’t get the infinite-monkeys-at-typewriters alchemy that produces truly viral pieces of content.

Day 9: Together.
“Elon Musk asked managers at Twitter to nominate their best employees for promotion, then fired the managers and replaced them with their lower-paid nominees”
I don’t even know where to start.
Good take on Signup UX for apps. nathanjpowell.com/blog/how-…

If you get 80% of the way on something and then run into an issue, it’s worth considering if the issue really matters before you scrap everything and change directions.
The grass isn’t always greener.
Testing out a walking video. What do you think? A good format for small announcements and tips?
Day 8: Walk the plank.
Mostly whole. Day 7.
Engineering. And history. Day 6.

We moved to Google Voice for KickoffLabs today. Cheaper, and they have transcriptions at no extra fee.
I was told it would be a 16-minute wait.
This experience isn’t changing my mind. :)
Had a few tabs to close this AM. I’m unsure what it means to say I’ll be logged out in negative time. #javascript #fail
Let’s see how our recent posts on Twitter from Kickofflabs are going… Oh… I see. #dumpsterfire #broken #failwhale
You don’t always need to improve the product. You may need to improve the experience of using the product.
The “experience” includes the help docs, how to videos, checkout, etc. it’s not limited to feature UX.
Build rails with VSCode?
TIL you can use actually use VSCode debug tools to step through your apps.
Very neat.

Photo challenge “tile”. Umm it’s behind the beer.
People love looking for blueprints to success in product, business, marketing, etc
Then they waste time copying the parts that don’t matter like specific UI, headlines, or button color.
They miss the parts like talking to customers, delivering value, or good stories that made it a success story.
