⚡️ New product announcement ⚡️

After saving hundreds of articles to Instapaper and never coming back to them, Alfread was born.

It's an iOS app that helps make time for reading and serves as a perfect reading companion (hence, the name ;)

Sign up:

🧵👇 How often do you come back to articles you have saved "for later"?

Current tools, like Instapaper, Pocket, and similar give us an ability to "buy time" by not having to read something right away.

On the left: Stojo, "the world's first" collapsible reusable cup, got popular in 2019, manufactured in China.

On the right: also a collapsible reusable cup, but from the 1960's, manufactured in the Soviet Union.

A thread 👇 ImageImageImage These cups got popular in the Soviet Union among tourists: they took little space, were extremely easy to use and clean.

It was also a necessary utility for germophobes: when using "vending machines" for soda where everyone shared the same glasses for drinking 😬 ImageImage

You might know the "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late" quote by @reidhoffman.

I wonder what Reid thinks about it now but it seems like the embarrassment era is over.

Thread 1/5 @reidhoffman Companies like Notion, Figma, Navigator (to name a few) have proven a point of really polished MVP’s: I really doubt that any of them experienced any kind of embarrassment after launching their first version.
