1/ MailerLite account approval
Had a little hiccup setting up MailerLite but their support team came through and we were approved!
2/ MailerLite + Namecheap Email Deliverability Set-Up
It's so important to do DKIM/SPF/DMARC ensure that your emails don't get marked as spam!
Have also wrote a guide with the exact things to key into Namecheap's Advanced DNS

4/ We attended a @LaunchMBA AMA with @JensLennartsson which was a lot of fun & learned how to build an audience.
Our friend @ytothej made a good summary
It's wonderful to learn from other makers in our journey!
5/ User Research Questions
We want to adopt a user-centric approach
@pabloheredia24 took the lead on building out first User Research Questions using learnings from the book The Mom Test
I'm supplementing these with things I've learned in @CXLdotcom Growth Marketing Minidegree
6/ We'll start interviewing some people on our waitlist soon!
We want to make sure we build features that users actually care about and not go off creating what we *think* works best
(Although we are also our best customers)
7/ Trello Public Roadmap Draft Build
@nocode_buildr helped us put together a Public Roadmap that we'll release in time once we start speaking to users.
We are inspired by @dorik_io's Public Roadmap and want to give a chance for people to upvote & comment on features.
8/ Cheering on others
The @makerpad challenge is not a zero-sum game. We want to support other makers
Today's highlights:
@5harath's Shoutout.so
@nocodelife's Daily.so
We also love @PTillement's @ClubNocode (not a part of this challenge, but cool!)
9/ Thankful for friends' support
Our friends & followers have been so supportive.
I see all of your names in the list. Please know that I'm so thankful for each of you. Have surprises dropping for you soon!
Until then, join us on pheedback.co and spread the word!
