Demystifying the business of community through deep dives into B2B, B2C, and Creator communities.

@wrowclif Hey - sorry for the rough experience there. Where did you see mention of "--config" so we can update it? Thanks

[Alex Bouchard @alexbouchardd]

Shipped something I've been working heads-down on for months today.

Hookdeck Outpost is GA — open-source outbound webhooks. Self-host, or let us run it. Same code either way.

Oh, and it's 10x cheaper than the alternatives. $10 per million events.

🧵

[Alex Bouchard @alexbouchardd]

We process billions of webhooks a week at @hookdeck. We've seen every failure mode.

We've packaged that knowledge into skills that AI agents can use.

Provider-specific. Framework-aware. Prod-ready.

New year, new product. Introducing Hookdeck Outpost.

A fully managed, serverless service for sending webhooks and event destinations.

Now in early-access. DM me to get in.

The way you create code has changed, so should how you flag it.

Introducing agentic feature flagging . ݁₊ ⊹

[Reflag @reflagcom]

Self-cleaning feature flags for TypeScript.

Ship features, not tech debt ◪

[Reflag @reflagcom]

We’re thrilled to have partnered with @linear for their Agents launch!

You can now ask `@​bucket` in your Linear workspace to:

› @​bucket create flag
› @​bucket release internally

We gave https://t.co/JMJSAlZDtg an overhaul ⚡️

It's a yearning for a simpler time where SaaS sites had less fluff and more substance.

🧵 Here's how and why we put it together like this

First, inspired by markdown documents, let's start with headlines, all left-aligned.

@dr What happened to Huge? Thought that sounded legit

[Mighty Networks @MightyNetworks]

He'd had been following Mighty for awhile—but People Magic Profit helped @amillerblog finally take the leap and launch Reverie, a community for tech professionals navigating burnout.

@paw_lean There are worse places to end up :)

@MillyTamati You can rest :)

Women make up half of the world’s population - yet its reported twice as many men have invested in cryptocurrency over women. That doesn’t compute. We have a vital role to play in leading groundbreaking innovations that challenge norms, and it's our responsibility to ensure accessibility and education for everyone. The fundamental technology of crypto is designed to empower individuals. Crypto isn't just for a chosen few—it's for everyone. It’s designed to be inclusive, and we have an obligation to ensure we welcome everyone in.

Our aim with this campaign, crafted by women, was simple and pure. We wanted to ignite conversation about the gender gap in the industry and inspire more women to venture into this space. It was not about marketing a new 'Crypto' fragrance, we chose to be bold and unconventional in our messaging.

However you perceived the campaign in light of IWD, we are now in the discussion and we want you to get involved: https://t.co/UqfN5QvuIV

Last week was my final week at axo.

I'll be taking a small break as I look for my next opportunity.

If you need a frontend/fullstack JavaScript engineer do please slide into my DM's

I just published a deep dive about a creator who built a $400k/year community business... accidentally.

So I did what I always do - I spent tens of hours digging in to understand how.

This is the Creator to Community story of @dvassallo & Small Bets

@asmartbear I’ve recently started doing this for my articles after getting a couple of requests.

I tried the AI model route but it would have little glitches throughout the ‘recording’. It ended up being quicker to just record myself reading it.

Had a few folks say it’s helpful. Not many

Community has been part of the Figma founding team's ethos from day one.

In this deep dive, we look at how its community-led strategy has evolved as the organization has grown and the pivotal role of the Designer Advocate.
