Hire better developers, faster.

Did more market research and made a few conclusions on a soft pivot

https://t.co/hdJmqUE754?amp=1

realised I don't have product market fit, going to have to do more extensive research

switched to MailChimp to capture sign ups

Convertkit just didn't work I tried everything

Registered for Zoho mail free tier

Didn't realize ConvertKit didn't work right with freemails (gmail, hotmail, etc) that's why the confirmation emails weren't going out. Probably lost a good no. of early subscribers to the ether.

tweeted about new domain being up

So far so good

Thanks @Faraaz98 for signing up on bip 🙌 . Below are our USPs 1. bip provides a git flow (of branch, merge etc) for documents so that you can allow anyone to suggest changes to your documents 2. People are incentivised to contribute to your product because by doing so they are building a public profile of their expertise. All their contributions show in their profile like it does in their GitHub profile. 3. You can invite anyone on the platform to contribute to any of your documents by just tagging them - just like you can tag anyone on twitter to your tweet. This way it’s an open platform.
