Fancy trying something new? 👀

I’m a huge fan of Product Hunt and have been using it since 2015. It’s part of my daily routine to check the latest featured products. This post by Greg Isenberg & Mario Gabriele provides fantastic insight into PH’s journey from a small newsletter to a venture-funded platform that receives almost 5m visitors a month. I’m fascinated by some of the suggestions to improve the platform. (25 min read)

As your probably aware I’m pretty bullish with no-code. This new newsletter by Christian provides a deeply researched business plan for validated, profitable startups that you can start with no coding and very little money. I’m blown away by the detail he provides in each newsletter and his thorough methodology for analysing no-code business opportunities. (9 min read)

What are the principles underlying the ideal desk setup? How do we balance great design with modern technology? I recently bought my first house, and I’m planning my dream desk set up as a permanent remote worker so I’ve been geeking out on this platform for weeks now and building my mood board. Arun provides a deep dive into his personal desk setup and more importantly his philosophy behind it. (19 min read)

You’ve probably the story about the guy who bought 2 pizzas for 10k bitcoin. This is the actual thread where it went down. In 2010 this was the equivalent of $75 for 2 pizzas. A guy in the UK took him up on the deal. He sent the guy 10,000 bitcoin (today’s equivalent ~$590M).

The best part, the guy who did it says he has no regrets. He’s glad to be part of history and being the first person to use bitcoin for a real-world transaction. Not sure I would have the same outlook.

You are probably thinking “Why on earth is this Scottish guy sharing a sunscreen product?” 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hear me out. Although I haven’t seen the sun in years I can appreciate a genius viral marketing campaign when I see one (shout out to Lach & Dakota). All over Twitter, big names have been sharing their new job titles. I am now ‘Chairman of the Hot Tub Cupholders Council’. The second reason is their incredibly nostalgic website and branding. You can read more from the founder here. 

I’m obsessed with this new YouTube channel by Van Neistat titled ‘The Spirited Man’. This particular episode highlights his almost obsessive-compulsive nature when it comes to his acute attention to detail. I personally thought I was pretty high on the attention to detail spectrum but this is a whole other level. Just look at his process when purchasing a new pencil!

Angus Kaleinykas recently launched a 3D device mockup builder for your browser. After his first month’s launch, he generated $7k in sales. In this post, he shares his strategy and approach. I’m a big fan of mockup generators and frequently use them to save myself a ton of time. His mockups are super clean and modern with an Apple-like aesthetic.

As some of you might know I created a series of Notion website packs. Well, this new product does just that. It’s as if Notion and Wix had a baby. It’s in Beta currently but as a PM I really admire their early access user journey. To get access to the beta you can schedule a call for an onboarding session and they will even help you create a website using their platform.

“Not another audio-based platform Sam! that was sooo this March” - Ye I know but this one is a little different. Think ClubHouse but with more of a focus on podcasting. Share a link with the other parties involved and start recording straight from your mobile device - then publish on the platform for distribution.
