This week was certainly an interesting week in the maker community... Here's a tweet that I really liked to kick it off.
Build something really cool. Take it one step at a time. If it gets hard it means youโre onto something. Keep going

A week of Hey Hype
The big hotness this week? Hey.com, and the maker community took part of the trend! Makers from around the world began sharing invites and creating their own hey.com emails, to then share them on Twitter.
First the good news: We just sent out another TEN THOUSAND invitations to HEY. Our biggest invite batch yet. Then the bad news: There are still 70,000+ people on the waiting list ๐ฌ. We will keep accelerating invitations as quickly as we can! Everyone who wants HEY gets HEY.

All you bootstrappers saying "fuck Basecamp, they should have known about Apple's draconian policies before they built Hey:"

Remind me to not fight for you the next time Google, Amazon, Apple, Shopify clamps down, and hurts your business.

Coming soon: Landing Pages
— Fathom Analytics (@usefathom) June 20, 2020
We can already see how many views each page gets, which is great, but we need to know which content is bringing people to our website on a daily basis.
We'll be rolling this new feature out over the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/woUM7dexTf
Great maker content

Think of growing a social media following like growing a start-up:
— Matthew Kobach (@mkobach) June 20, 2020
Create a niche market so small that you can dominate it. Then expand.
tip for startup founders:
— Ryan Kulp ๐บ๐ธ (@ryanckulp) June 20, 2020
early days, YOU are the most excited about the product. nobody else cares. YOUR motiviation keeps you going.
later on, CUSTOMERS are the most excited about the product. you become apathetic. THEIR encouragement keeps you going.
thus...
